Download or read book Lay Pastoral Care written by Joretta L. Marshall and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care companions in congregations support others at multiple levels. They walk with people during challenging life situations, including death and grief; become prayer partners in moments of need; and are present in everyday moments of life. Sometimes care relationships arise through informal networks such as Sunday school classes or fellowship groups. Other times people are recruited and trained to become part of the caring ministry of a church. Lay Pastoral Care: A Narrative Approach offers guidance for people across a spectrum of care. Using a model grounded in narrative and collaborative theories, Joretta L. Marshall and Christie Cozad Neuger describe key ideas and practices that inform lay care companioning. They also provide comprehensive curricular suggestions for training lay companions. Marshall and Neuger build on a commitment to mutual learning, deepening spiritual growth, and collaborative support for people who wish to become care companions. Congregational leaders and members alike will discover that the recommended practices enhance the relational and spiritual lives of participating individuals and the congregation as a whole.

Download or read book Lay Pastoral Care Giving written by Timothy M. Farabaugh and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguished historian, academic and occasional evangelist I know was hushed by his stunned wife after he said to a friend he was visiting in the hospital, "I hope you don't die." A sentiment delivered sincerely but oh-so-awkwardly. Expressing care to someone in need--whether within the community of faith or beyond--may seem the most natural thing in the world. For some, it is; for others, it's less so. All can improve. Learn to reach out with God's love and care for others as outlined in this practical book. Farabaugh offers a systemic path for pastoral care using the gifts of the laity in the church. "At a district Council on Ministries' meeting, our conversation focused on the realization that most of the clergy had no assistance in the area of pastoral care and felt overwhelmed by their many, sometimes conflicting, responsibilities," writes Farabaugh. "Most of the churches did not train anyone in caring ministries. Today it is time for clergy and laity to partner in caring for one another." Unique to this course is the ongoing training and accountability meetings outlined for those in this invaluable ministry. During the monthly meetings, participants report on what they have learned and also study aspects of caring for situations and conditions of life, such as illness, suffering, grief and loss.

Book excerpt: A survey of Wesleyan churches and a review of current literature reveals that most pastors are bearing the burden of pastoral care alone. Only a few churches are effectively equipping and empowering lay persons to help provide this needed and meaningful ministry within the body of Christ. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate biblically and historically that the laity are gifted for ministry and that they are called to the task of shepherding God's flock. Further, this project seeks to present a model for implementing a lay shepherding ministry in the small to mid-sized church.

Book excerpt: Training lay-servants from St. Paul/Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church in Pastoral care provided a ministry opportunity to lay-servants. I trained lay servants for this task of providing pastoral care to homebound church members. Lay-Servants were trained in the following courses: Understanding the History of the Methodist Movement (how clergy served along with laity,) Listening and Caring Skills, the Role of Sacraments, and Prayer and Anointing. Lay-servants provided feedback at the beginning of the training and at the conclusion of it. In addition, lay-servants evaluated me regarding my effectiveness in training them. Clergy and lay-servants did both joint and individual visits to homebound. During the visits to homebound, clergy and lay-servants delivered Holy Communion, prayed, and anointed homebound. The goal of training lay-servants and educating homebound was preparing lay-servants to visit homebound with pastor or when the pastor would not be able to do pastoral visits. Homebound completed three evaluations and we video recorded interviews with them at the end of visitations.
