Everyone has moments of celebration and difficult times in this life, but they are best handled when we have a supportive community around us. Our Pastoral Care ministries exist to offer that Love and support to the members of our parish.
Pastoral Care Team
Working alongside our clergy, this team helps to communicate with and care for the ill or homebound in our church.
Lay Eucharistic Visitors
When you can’t get to church to receive communion, then the church will come to you!
Daughters of the King
The Order of the Daughters of the King® is an order for women who are communicants Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran (ELCA), and Roman Catholic churches. Reaffirming the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service and evangelism. She receives support in this commitment from a worldwide community of like-minded women.
Columbarium
Our church is blessed with a beautiful courtyard and columbarium, where the ashes of loved ones can be inurned. If you’re interested in purchasing a niche, please contact the church office.
Food Ministry
During both good times and bad, providing a meal can provide support and love to members of our parish family.
Guild of the Christ Child
This special ministry pairs older women in the church with expectant mothers, who offer care, prayer, and support to them and help to make sure they know their child is loved and welcomed here at ECR.
Lazarus Guild
We have a wonderful team of people who try to make funerals and visitations at our church go as well as possible.
Wedding Guild
If we have a guild for funerals, then we should also have one that helps with weddings! No need for an external wedding coordinator here, we have skilled individuals who know how to make the day go smoothly.
