One of the most important commissions we have from Christ is to love and care for our neighbor as ourselves. Showing love to one another through prayer and compassion is a cornerstone of our Christian faith.
St. Bart’s offers a variety of ways to both give and receive pastoral care. We have a strong pastoral care team, comprised of both lay and ordained members.
To request pastoral care, either from lay people or clergy, please call the office.
As long as we live in a world where the reality of our experience does not yet match God’s vision of justice and love, it is our call to work to realize God’s kingdom on earth. We do this many ways, but an important part of bringing God’s kingdom here is to care for one another—physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The volunteers in this group offer their love and support by providing coffee, punch and cookies for memorial receptions following funerals. The group also assists the family in setting up the Parish Hall.

St. Bartholomew’s Prayer Chain has been active since 1973 and is made up of men and women who have committed to pray for the needs of others, in strict confidence.
We welcome to all who feel called to pray for others. For more information, contact the parish office.
