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.

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.

Download or read book The Care Revolution written by John W. Bosman and published by Outreach, Incorporated (DBA Equip Press). This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a missing link in our ministry efforts Somewhere along the line, we have erroneously made pastoral care the sole responsibility of the pastor. We assumed the clergy are the ones that do ministry, while the laity watches ministry being done. We need a new paradigm For the most part, we provide crisis care instead of pastoral care in our churches. The ensued problem is that when the crisis is over, so is the care. This makes people feel unattached, insecure and neglected, which often results in them falling through the cracks or slipping through the proverbial back door. The Care Revolution provides the answer. It presents a proven, efficient and workable system that enables believers to care for one another, making sure everyone experiences a sense of belonging and acceptance. When church members are trained and developed to connect and care for each other it meets a crucial need that is entirely biblical and should be part of the ongoing ministry of every congregation. Pastoral Care is a Collaborative Effort The Pastor cannot do it alone! Effective pastoral care just happens when pastors and members collaborate in their ministry-efforts. It is only when a congregation is cared for and nurtured that it becomes healthy and consequently has the ability to evangelize more effectively. A hurting and or dysfunctional church simply cannot do it. Evangelism and pastoral care are not contrary to each other--the one depends on the other. Dr. John Bosman has been a pastor for most of his adult life. Immediately before entering into his present international ministry, he served as the lead pastor of Glad Tidings Church in Lake Charles, Louisiana, for 15 years. Under his leadership, the church grew from fewer than five hundred to a thriving congregation that now occupies a 3,000-seat, state-of-the-art worship center. John has served in both regional and national leadership roles within his denomination. He was a member of the Board of Regents of a stateside university as well as a Bible College in Russia. He is also the founder of both the JWB Institute for Leadership and Laity Development and Hamilton Christian Academy. John and his wife, Anne (who is also an ordained minister), live in Frisco, Texas. Together, they minister nationally and internationally. They have three children and five grandsons.
