Pastoral Care Requests
Caring for one another
As a community of faith, Saint Luke's strives to care for its fellow parishioners in times of need. While clergy are, of course, instrumental in providing pastoral care to parishioners, lay pastoral care teams are made up of parishioners who comfort parishioners in need with cards, food, flowers, fellowship, and Eucharistic visits.
If you or someone you know is in need, please contact the church office at 731-424-0556, or fill out this form to request a driveway visit.
Some of our pastoral care efforts at Saint Luke's include:
Prayer Lists
Parishioners and loved ones are prayed for during weekly services and
are listed in the Sunday bulletin for the parish community to hold up
in prayer during the week. An email prayer list is available to those
who wish to receive immediate news of a prayer request.
Eucharistic Visitors
Eucharistic visitors are lay persons who take Holy Communion following
Sunday services to parishioners who are ill or otherwise unable to
attend services. The Communion shared at the Sunday service is one way
to connect parishioners with their parish family as well as their God.
Eucharistic visitors receive training to better equip them to exercise
this ministry.
Clergy Visitation
The clergy are available to visit persons in the hospital, home or nursing home as requested. Prior to surgery or in an emergency, please contact the church office so that the clergy will know and may pray with and for you. A clergyperson is available at all times when you are in need.
