Pastoral Care
How do we care for one another at St Matthews?
- By visiting those who are ill either in hospital or at home offering pastoral care through listening and prayer;
- By supporting those in crisis situations by telephoning, by e-mailing, and by organizing emergency meals;
- By praying for individuals, couples & families as requested for particular needs;
By acts of kindness to each other through hospitality; cooking something nice; sharing things home-grown; - By encouraging one another in the Christian life through occasional phone calls, visits, outings, group activities – or just meeting for coffee and a chat;
- By being aware of the prompting of the Holy Spirit in relating to people at church, in our families, in our neighbourhood.
