Visitation
Keeping in touch with our church family is an on-going effort, through phone calls, visits, or simply cards to wish them well or know they are in our thoughts and prayers. These efforts compliment and support those of the minister. For immediate Pastoral care please contact Our Pastoral Care Committee Chair – Niki Nauta at 519-899-2144.
