                  CHRISTIAN PASTORAL CARE

“I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you cared for me, I was in prison an you visited me…” Mat 25:35-36 

Welcome to our Pastoral Care Site. We hope you find resources here that help you to walk your Christian journey in the company of our congregation. At Grace-St. Andrew's United Church we see the Christian journey as both individual and a community experience. When we are able to walk with other Christians who have experienced similar things, we can find support, encouragement and hope. Jesus spoke of the importance of meeting one another with the heart of one who always seeks the holy (Jesus) in another (“I was sick and you cared for me…”).  

The journey of faith is a process, a time of discovery, a relationship with God and with the community of faith. We are encouraged and held up by Jesus who walked gently and respectfully with those whom society held in greatest disregard. He was crucified for his choices, but God's love and power shines forth in the resurrection.  God's power is stopped by nothing. In the darkest times in our lives, God walks with us, bringing us back to life again.
