The Pastoral Care Group within Newhaven Church offers care to members of the congregation who need assistance, inspired by Jesus’ instruction to Peter in John 21:16 to “feed my sheep”.

This care can take many forms but, in the main, it comprises home visits, offered in addition to visits by elders.

The Pastoral Care Group have a team of visitors who carry out this work on behalf of the church. The members of the group, and the visitors, are always mindful of the confidential nature of their work.

The group’s other duties include prayer support, the distribution of flowers and gifts from the church, and befriending new members to the church.

The Pastoral Care Group comprises the following members:

Convener:

• Peter Bluett, Minister
