Pastoral Care at West Shore
The Pastoral Care Team
West Shore’s Pastoral Care Team doesn’t have a motto, but
if it did, it might be semper paratus, always ready. The team has
a commitment to be prepared to meet the pastoral care needs of our
members 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
For Members of West Shore--What We Can Do:
- We can visit you when you're ill;
- We can sit with you or a family member through surgery or the surgery of a loved one;
- We can bring you food;
- We can try to connect you with community resources that may be able to assist you;
- We can provide spiritual support, comfort and prayer;
- We can offer occasional and modest assistance with tangible needs such as food, shelter or clothing;
- We can listen and be a supportive caring presence during times of crisis or distress.
For emergencies, contact one of the ministers or a member of the West Shore staff. In their absence, or for ongoing pastoral care, contact Doris Matthey, Commissioned Lay Leader, Pastoral Care. The minister connected with Pastoral Care is Rev. Kathleen Rolenz
