Pastoral Care
Our Mission is Growing Disciples of Jesus Christ by Serving Christ in the World, especially through compassionate care.
These ministries include the pastoral ministry of our Clergy, support ministries such as Care Cards, Prayer Shawls, Transportation ministry, and Caregiver Support. Our Eucharistic Visitors also bring the sacrament to those who cannot attend worship. Stephen Ministers are trained lay people who provide a caring ministry to those facing a crisis. Read the summaries below and follow the links to see how you can get involved.

Prayer Requests
The Daughters of the King and Brotherhood of St. Andrew pray regularly for our extended prayer list, and we include many of these requests in our prayers during worship services. Contact us with your prayer request: [email protected]. Help us understand the purpose of our prayers and how long you would like us to continue to pray. Please be sure to receive permission from your loved one to include them in the public prayers of the church.
The Clergy are also available to support you. If you need to speak to a member of our clergy outside our normal office hours, please call the Parish at (770) 977-7473 and select option 8 to be forwarded to the clergy on call.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7
Father, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.
