PASTORAL CARE MINISTRIES
As the Cathedral family continues to grow-both numerically and spiritually-we find ourselves called to re-imagine and re-design some of our core ministries. We do this in order to meet changing needs and to adapt to changing ways of living, but most importantly we do this to continue to grow into our baptismal promises to "proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ" and to 'seek and serve Christ in all persons," as well as, to "respect the dignity of every human being."
We began a process of re-imagining pastoral care with an adult forum in January in which ideas for ministries were shared. These ideas were organized and presented in the February adult forum. What follows is a listing of the specific ministries emerging from this process, all part of pastoral care at Christ Church Cathedral.
Pastoral care is intended to be shared by every member of the Cathedral family. Each of us should consider being involved in at least one of these ministries, as that is the way that we will truly love and care for each other. Each ministry will need a coordinator, who will be the contact person with the Cathedral Office as pastoral needs arise and who will be responsible for contacting members of each ministry to accomplish whatever needs to be done.
Communication concerning pastoral care needs should be directed to the Cathedral Office. From there, the appropriate coordinator(s) will be contacted. Coordinators will arrange with ministry volunteers for "hands on" care and will follow-up with the Cathedral Office about each situation.
1. NEW BABY MINISTRY
* support, love, care, information for parishioners having or adopting a baby
* contact and inquiry about immediate needs
* visit with gift, food, baptism information
2. NEEDLEWORK MINISTRY
* knitters: prayer shawls, new baby gifts, scarves for outreach, throws for nursing care residents and homebound
* needlepoint: create and care for kneelers and cushions, etc. in worship spaces
* embroidery: create and care for linens used in worship
3. PRAYER CARD MINISTRY
* cards and/or handwritten notes to parishioners in pastoral need (life transitions, illness, hospitalization, nursing facility care, bereavement)
* personalized and signed on behalf of the Cathedral family, assuring them of our prayers for their well-being and our love
4. BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY
* hospitality and support to grieving families gathered at the church for visitation and funeral
* support to family and friends through meals, assistance, etc.
5. CARING FRIENDS MINISTRY
* loving care for those who due to age or illness cannot always be with us in the Body, to remind them of their importance to our community
* visits, cards, flowers, etc.
* special gestures during Advent and Lent, as reminders of our love and prayers
* "shepherds" assigned to individuals to check in with them regularly
6. FLOWER MINISTRY
* arranges and delivers flowers each week to those with pastoral care needs--to those in hospitals or nursing care facilities, or who are ill, homebound, or bereaved
* card enclosed with flowers letting them know of the prayers and love of the Cathedral family
7. LAY EUCHARISTIC VISITORS
* visits each week to those who are unable to attend our worship together, taking them the Eucharist, as well as the prayers and love of the Cathedral family
* this ministry requires licensing through the Diocese and works directly with the clergy
This week's bulletin insert includes a form for you to check the ministries you are interested in becoming a part of and if you would like to be a coordinator. Download it here.

CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL MISSION
The Cathedral is the spiritual center of the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast. The Cathedral is a dynamic and evolving church that serves as a liturgical, educational, and pastoral center for Diocesan life. It serves as a visible symbol of unity and promotes growth, hope, and a deepening trust in the Lord. The Cathedral is a place where the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be faithfully preached and responded to, and it will model new concepts and ideas for education, evangelism, and outreach to which the Gospel calls us.
