Congregational Care Team

The Chelsea First’s Congregational Care teams support our congregation in many ways

Care Team Vision: that each of us experiences Chelsea First as a community of help and support, no matter what we are facing, with respect for privacy and confidentiality.

 

  • Prayer Team members commit to praying privately and confidentially, on their own time, over a set of concerns that are distributed via a weekly email.
  • Cards Team members sign up (via the on-line Signup Genius tool) to send cards and notes to people on the Care list according to a defined schedule.
  • Meals Team members volunteer (via Signup Genius) to prepare and deliver meals to those who need a break from shopping and meal prep.
  • The Rides and Errands Team provides light shopping and transportation assistance.
  • Calling Teams are in personal contact via phone with people who are isolated or experiencing particularly difficult times. Special training and selection are required.
  • Communion Team brings consecrated Communion elements to those who are not attending in-person.
