The Lay Pastoral Committee
UUFVB seeks to be a genuinely caring community. As a tangible
expression of our caring, we believe it is important that people
be able to count on their religious community to offer
appropriate support in times of illness, crisis or other
significant problems.
Our Lay Pastoral team works in partnership
with the minister to
respond to the full range of life experiences, including
providing support for those who are ill or have suffered a loss.
The team meets regularly to review the needs with which we are
familiar, and to ensure that, to the best of our ability, we are
connecting with all members who need our care.
The Lay Pastoral team relies on input and assistance from many
active and caring congregation members, who assist with visiting
shut-ins, providing rides for essential errands like doctors’
appointments, giving personal support, and sending many greeting
cards to mark important moments of celebration or need.
LIFE CRISIS FORMS – Members are encouraged to complete a Life
Crisis Form to help the minister and Lay Pastoral team honor
your needs and wishes in the event of major crisis.
