This October we have been focussing on Pastoral Care - this week we look at the intergral part that Prayer holds for us.

Colossians 4:2 (NET) The Apostle Paul, urges his readers saying:

“Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it and with thanksgiving.”

Pastoral Care includes our spiritual care, i.e. maintaining our relationship with God.

A great way we can do this as a Church family is being connected into our life groups and other small groups that operate across the Church.

Taking time to reach out to one another - to pray together - continuing to grow in the life of this Church.

Our next Corporate Prayer night is this coming up tomorrow evening Wednesday 20 October 7.30pm to 8.30pm

Come onsite or connect online with ZOOM (email admin@marioncc.org.au for ZOOM details)

You'll find attached the November Prayer Points so that you can participate onsite/online or personally - see how the evening will unfold and how you can follow in prayer.

Peace be with you.

As we spend time in this month of October focussing on Pastoral Care, we see that the scriptures clearly teach that pastoral care is meant to be a corporate responsibility. The ministry of caring for each other in the church is a responsibility of the whole Body, not just to one person. (1Cor 12:24-25).

The scriptures also teach that ‘pastoral care’ is meant for every disciple of Christ, as part of everyday living, caring is part and parcel of the mutual fellowship of believers as we encourage one-another.

Pastoral Care comes in lots of forms – formal/informal.

· Catch up for a cuppa (before/after services on Sundays/during week)

· Phone calls/text/message

· Send a card/email

· Pop in/visit/meet at café

· Prayer

· Practical help – meal/transport/gardening

· Hospital visit

Pastoral Care at Marion Church of Christ

John 13:34 New Revised Standard Version

34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

Pastoral Care is so important for us all to understand as it involves everyone in our Church family

Pastoral Care is a term used for a way of caring and nurturing each other during our faith journey.

It can be informal and formal. In fact we as Christians we are all called to be pastoral carers for one another. Jesus has told us to love one another as I have loved you. This Christlike love is one that seeks the best for each other. When you hurt, we hurt; when you celebrate we celebrate and rejoice with you.

We also have a group of people identified as Pastoral Carers who seek to ensure that our church family and their spiritual needs are being met as best we can.

You will also see pastoral care shown in our small groups; be it a home/life group or a program of the church like craft.

Pastoral Care is also about, spiritual care, i.e. maintaining our relationship with God. A great way we can do this as a Church family is being connected into our life groups and other small groups that operate across the Church
