Disciples who really care (Wednesday Afternoon)

Everyday disciples are not immune to illness, and struggle. But is pastoral care just for the minister and elders? Or for trained professionals? What does it look like to restore care which not only loves, but equips and builds disciples in your local church? The purpose of this afternoon seminar is to: • Apply, through small group discussion and Q&A, what has been covered in the morning ‘Disciples who care’ seminar. • Broaden our understanding of pastoral care to include all relationships. • Consider how your church can become a ministering/discipling community where everyone plays a part. • To see the importance of both public and private ministry of the Word in pastoral care.
