Rev. CJ and Claudia Jimenez will be rebuilding the pastoral care team over the next few months. Richard Palermo has been on the team since last year. Terry Last and Paul Ward have expressed their willingness to be on the team. We will look for one more person providing all listed here are willing to serve.
Richard Keelan, Claudia, and Rev. CJ will be offering training to the team:
February 28, 4pm Fuller Room
CJ and Claudia will offer a structure and process for the program. Richard will be offering training on identifying pathology versus acute issues and situations, identifying when it is time to call the minister and need for referral, and contracting for safety.
March 21, 4pm Fuller Room
CJ will review active listening and our process of making the congregation aware of needs, and volunteers. Claudia will review self care. We will all answer questions you may have and present and discuss scenarios you may discover as you minister.
April 18, 4pm Fuller Room
Claudia will review the religious component of pastoral care. CJ will discuss death and bereavement. Richard will discuss knowing your limits, confidentiality, and family systems.
Rev. CJ McGregor, Minister
