PASTORAL CARE

Our Pastoral Care Team are here to come alongside people of all ages who are in need of a bit of support or TLC when life is tough. Our trained Pastoral Assistants can offer one-to-one help.

 

For more information on how we can support you, please contact our Pastoral Care and Seniors Minister Pippa Cramer.

Pastoral Support Team

Our team includes Pastoral Assistants who have all completed the Guildford Diocesan foundation training course, as well as appropriate DBS and Safeguarding training.

They offer support and care to those who are:

  • Experiencing mild mental health struggles – where appropriate linking them to professional support
  • Physically unwell and perhaps confined to home
  • Bereaved (one to one support available)
  • In a caring role for a loved one
  • In hospital
  • Wanting home communion

If you are in need of support please email us at: care@htclaygate.org  or leave a message at: 01372 463603.

 

 

Our Regular Activities

Being aware of pastoral needs and responding to them is at the heart of many of our existing activities. This includes our small groups, Connections ministry with seniors, Mums, Bumps and Babies, Walk and Talk for those early retired.

 

Meals Ministry

At times the support needed is essentially practical for those really struggling. In this respect, our Meals Ministry helps those who are:

  • Living alone, with no other support, and not able to cook for themselves
  • Unwell or recovering from illness or surgery
  • New parents during the first weeks after delivery where extra help is needed
