Parish Care Network, UU Church, Brunswick, Maine

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.
