How

We offer Pastoral Care in many ways and situations, including:

 

Home groups

Home groups encourage care and mutual support for All Saints’ members. Being part of a home group and getting to know other church members helps extend care in the church. If you wish to be linked to a home group even if you are unable to attend regularly please contact the church office.

Welcoming New People

We hope that new people attending All Saints’ will find a warm and friendly welcome. If you are new to the church please help us in getting to know you by completing an information slip and introduce yourself to someone. Periodically the church also runs new members meals.

 

One to one support

If you would like to meet on a regular or semi-regular basis with a pastoral care team member for listening and support this can be arranged on request.

 

Pastoral Drop In

A member of the Pastoral Care Team is available every Monday and Tuesday between 10am and noon for anyone who would like to chat. Our team offer a listening ear or prayer ministry if necessary. Feel free to come to the coffee lounge where a member of the team will be there to welcome you.

 

Debt and personal budgeting advice

We are able to offer free, confidential, non judgemental advice for those who are experiencing credit and budgeting problems. We have trained budgeting coaches who will meet with you at a time convenient to you.

 

Prayer Ministry

Prayer ministry is offered following the 10.30am and 6.30pm services each Sunday. All Saints’ has a trained prayer ministry team and the pastoral care team are also trained in prayer ministry. Prayer can be arranged on request at an agreed time outside of our regular meetings.

 

Bereavement Support

The death of a loved one is always a difficult time. The pastoral care team has members who are trained to support, where necessary, those who have been bereaved. This may include listening and praying with an individual or if required organising bereavement counselling.

 

Practical help

Where necessary, help is available with household maintenance. This is for those unable to get help in other ways. This is available only through contacting Sylvia Wilson.

 

Hospital and Home visiting

We have a number of people who are committed to visiting those in hospital or unable to leave their homes. Members of the pastoral care team are available to make long term commitments to home visiting where necessary.
