Get to know the Pastoral Care Team at CUUB

​

Pastoral care is an ancient model of emotional, social and spiritual support that can be found in all cultures and traditions.   Wikipedia

​

At CUUB the Pastoral Care Team (PCT)* is a group of people who work with the minister and the congregation to identify members of CUUB who might suddenly find life’s challenges overwhelming or who would welcome a simple contact.

​

Our efforts center on:​

• Mailing cards on behalf of CUUB -- with personalized messages reflecting care and concern as well as good wishes and congratulations.

• Lending empathic ears to someone who might “just need to talk.”

• Coordinating meal deliveries or transportation during an illness or family emergency, upon request.

• Helping identify options for community and professional resources.

• Assisting with planning memorials and funerals, upon request.

• Encouraging members to complete a CUUB Cares Card – contact information to be used in the event of a medical emergency.

 

As indicated above, PCT relies on our Community to let us know about the potential needs/concerns of our members.  We want to respect an individual’s privacy, but sometimes just letting people know they are not alone is important.

 

*Members of PCT have pledged confidentiality in all matters brought to their attention with the understanding that Federal Law requires us to report suspected child or elder abuse/neglect and suicidal or homicidal intentions.
