Caring Community
Compassion is at the heart of our community -- kindness to those who suffer and grieve, as well as joy with those who celebrate. Our Caring Community supports congregants as they face some of the most challenging moments of change in their lives. We have volunteers providing food, friendly visits, and offer help to members who are navigating illness, new babies, grief, and other crises.
Please contact us when you or someone you care about needs care from our community. Whether grieving a loss or welcoming a new child, whether facing an acute illness or living with chronic health challenges, whether it's you or someone you care about, we are here to help. Please contact Julie Fishkin, Life Cycle & Pastoral Care Manager, 919-489-7062, ext 227
