Rev. Linda focuses on the power of being intentional about offering pastoral care in all we do together, living out the care and compassion we have for others. We will thank the people in our congregation who put this into action day after day, and will honor Shirley Paul, thanking her for her 18 years as leader of the congregation’s Pastoral Visitors.
