Whether one participates in bible study, seekers classes, Daughters of The King, contemplative Christian meditation or contemporary prayer groups, these small communities within our wider church have the powerful effect of becoming one's most immediate and life-giving source of pastoral support.
Through prayer, study, sharing one's life experiences, and getting involved in ministry together over time, small groups naturally personify Paul's exhortation to the Galatians to "bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."
In addition to this ongoing life of healthful mutual care in community, there are times when particular needs arise which call for a sacramental or another particular response. Some of these occasions are addressed through the following ministries.
