The Pastoral Care Core Ministry led the service today.

Their theme was on “What Pastoral Care Means To Me?”

A wonderful children’s book was read called “God’s Dream”, written by Archibishop Desmond Tutu and Douglas Carlton Abrahms and illustrated by LeUyen Pham.  (Used with permission.)

All of us were encouraged to offer pastoral care to others.
