Our UU principles call on us to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and to practice compassion in human relations. One way we do this is through our Pastoral Care.
Our pastoral care consists of:
~Providing a caring presence through visits, calls, and other contacts that allow us to listen, accept, comfort, and support one another.
~Receiving requests for care, from the person themselves, or from concerned others.
~Talking with members of our beloved community to learn about members and friends who may have concerns.
Who do I contact if I need Pastoral Care services?
If you need pastoral care services, please contact our minister by email at uusrfon65@gmail.com or by phone at 715-410-8737. If you phone after hours, please leave a message.
Our Caring Circle – Care and Support for Those in Need
The Caring Circle is a group of UUSRF members, who offer care and support to other congregation members and friends at times of major life changes such as illness, loss of a loved one, isolation, or other personal life changes.
Caring Circle members are volunteers. They receive an orientation to pastoral care upon joining the Caring Circle and maintain confidentiality in their discussions and activities. They coordinate with external groups such as local pastoral care networks, from which they gain knowledge, reference information, and points of contact.
Members of the Caring Circle provide support in a number of ways, including:
- Support by phone
- Meet with members in their homes or the hospital
- Provide meals
- Visit with members
- Provide transportation to services or appointments
- More
For additional information or to request support, please contact the Caring Circle through email at uusrfon65@gmail.com or phone 715-410-8737.
