Mike Strong
Pastoral Carer for Seniors
Some of the things I do are:
-
1. Visit people
-
a. At home when invited in
-
b. At home at the door when people are more comfortable with this sort of personal interaction
-
c. In retirement facilities
-
d. in hospitals and/or rehab centres when this is possible
-
e. By phone, particularly during times of Covid lockdowns
-
2. When visiting I endeavour to engage people in their journey through life. This can be events in the recent or distant past. We even try to glimpse into the future.
-
3. Link with families in the event of a death. This may also involve participation in the funeral (thanksgiving) service. I also follow up with families after the funeral for a while.
-
4. Following Communion Services at St Matthews’ I take communion to interested people who are not able to attend physically at St Matthews’ Church. Sometimes this is 1:1 and sometimes I have a number of people gather together for the opportunity.
-
5. I participate occasionally in combined worship held in Retirement Villages. This is by invitation from an organizer at the village.
