The mission of the Parish Care Network is to involve the
entire UUCB
congregation in the mutual care of members and friends who are in
need of material, emotional, or spiritual support during times of difficulty or
in times of transition and crisis. While we do not offer nursing care, counseling or
other professional services, we strive to provide
short-term
care and assistance to parishioners who are sick, grieving,
shut-in, in need of transportation, or who just need a word of encouragement, a
hug, or a smile.
The Care Network is composed of:
- The
CORE group, which organizes the network and determines
what support is needed.
- The
PERSONAL CONTACTS who make personal visits or calls to
shut-ins or those in the hospital.
- The
HELPERS who send note cards or provide occasional
meals, transportation, or other errands to those in need.
- The
CHURCH ADMINISTRATOR who is the first contacted about a
need for help.
If you know of a church member or friend who needs our care or
support, please email the Church Administrator or call her at 729-8515; she will
contact a member of the Core Group who will determine how to proceed.
If you would like to join the core group or volunteer to be a personal
contact or helper, please contact
Susan Michaud.
