Clara Barton District shares this seminar with us: Creating and Supporting Lay Pastoral Care Teams with Rev. John Gibb Millspaugh, Director of Congregational Development November 23, 2013 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM First Parish Church, Weston, MA This program will help your congregation create, update, or re-energize your network of lay parish and pastoral caregivers. Explore the differences between parish care (cards, casseroles, rides) and pastoral care (visiting and longer-term support) and the different training, support, and organizational infrastructure required for each. Reflect on the ministers role in pastoral care and the ministry of lay people to each other, and learn how to design or revitalize pastoral care programs that address your congregations needs. Special attention will be given to identifying, recruiting, training and supporting pastoral care teams. We will also spend time reflecting on the unique skills required of lay pastoral caregivers and explore the spiritual shifts necessary to become grounded pastoral caregivers. Teams of lay people and ministers are strongly urged to attend. Fee: $50 / $35 for seminarians (includes handouts and refreshments) REGISTER NOW! - Deadline: 11/18/13
