PASTORAL CARE

The Pastoral Care Committee works with and supports the pastoral ministry of the clergy in reaching out to parishioners at Church of the Epiphany. We support those facing illness, loss, or life transitions. We share in moments of celebration and joy. We reach out to those who need extra support. We depend on the congregation to keep us in touch with the pastoral needs of our community.
