Good Shepherd Care Ministry Team
Meets every 3rd Thursday, 2:00 p.m.
The Care Ministry Team wants to invite each of us to live in an ever more caring way toward others. The Care Team is a lay minister-driven ministry whose focus includes:
Inviting all church members to enact their calling to show care for others
Organizing education and help with needs such as aging, memory loss, mental health and more
Building caring connections through ongoing visits and calls with the homebound, those suffering loss and grief, and those who need consoling accompaniment
You are invited to join in this ministry of spiritual care to those in the congregation and beyond. This team works together with the pastoral leaders, because we cannot do this alone. The team ministers validly and meaningfully in the name of the congregation and Jesus Christ.

Care Ministry Team Invitation
The Lutheran Church of The Good Shepherd is a very caring community, yet some of our members are silently suffering from isolation, illness (physical or mental), the challenges of aging or parenting, or family issues. The Care Ministry Team would like to encourage you to reach out to one person this week with a phone call, email/text, card or visit.
