How can we help?
Our Caring Community is all about how we can be of service to each other. This ministry is shared by our professional staff, lay leaders and teams, and potentially everyone who is part of First Unitarian. Here’s how we break it down:
-
- Caring Ministry – meets short term, immediate needs
- Pastoral Care – provides listening and support over a period of time
- Minister – addresses acute issues
You can contact our Caring Ministry Coordinator at caring@ucdsm.org or 515-244-8603 ext. 108.
Another way that we support each other is through sharing of important milestones, joys and concerns with each other. Please see our Joys & Concerns page for more information.
