Shepherd's Care is a caring ministry of Holy Cross, designed to meet the practical and pastoral needs of members of the congregation. Through Shepherd's Care, members of the church offer help to other members in the following ways:

• New Parent Ministry – Volunteers write encouraging notes to new parents before a baby is born and deliver meals to the family after the baby arrives.
• Ministry to the Sick – When a member is hospitalized or homebound, volunteers visit and bring meals too, if they are desired.
• Freezer Ministry - Volunteers prepare meals in advance of a need and freeze them, allowing Shepherd's Care to respond quickly when unexpected needs arise.
• Notes of Encouragement – Volunteers write to those members of the congregation who may need encouragement or support.
• Support Partners – Partners are available to come alongside members of the church who may have longer-term needs for encouragement or support.
• Prayer Chain – Committed prayer partners pray for needs of the church that are brought to their attention by prayer cards submitted during church services, by e-mail, or by calling the church office.

If you know of any needs or if you would like to help with this very rewarding ministry, please contact Cheryl Klassa through the church office.
