Lay shepherds...
share in the responsibility of offering
and coordinating caregiving for those who have special needs within our
congregation and neighborhoods. Lay Shepherds work closely with the Pastoral
staff and provide support to families in times of crisis or transition. They
arrange for carry-in meals during times of illness, and are involved in home
visitation. Lay Shepherds coordinate occasional informal neighborhood fellowship
events, and each Lay Shepherding group hosts one church-wide fellowship event
each year.
