Would you like to be a member of a small group of Care Ministry Leaders?

The group I started this year meets once a month for about 90 minutes, via Zoom. We check in to see how each other are doing and discuss our greatest successes and hardest needs. 

I take notes because there are a lot of good ideas that we need to remember and share.

There are needs too, that we don't want to forget.

We practice with each other what we do when we care for people in our ministries.

• For 90 minutes each member is present in another Care Pastor's life.
• We listen and learn the stories of each other--their story that brought them to care ministry and the current story of their ministry.
• Everyone is validated in their experiences and pain.
• Between meetings we pray for each other.
• Refreshment, healing and strength comes, sometimes instantly other times gradually.

Would you like to be in a group like this in 2022, Let's discuss it. Just reply or call me.

It is encouraging to see the outpouring of resources for the displaced families in Boulder County. Probably you and your ministry are giving, hosting, helping, feeding or praying or all of that, or even more.

The needs in our world for care are overwhelming and compassion fatigue is real but everybody wins when we support each other. 

Please support one of our colleagues. Richard Powell, the Care Pastor at Colorado Community Church in Aurora, has entered hospice care. The church, his family and he need your prayers and expressions of care.

Let's build groups so we can give care for our colleagues and receive their care, so that we can thrive in our caring and build a culture that cares.

When you care it matters.

Your life matters,
