Care Companions:
Care Companions are involved in a listening ministry designed to partner the laity with clergy to provide support to members at times of loss, transition, illness or grief. Wayzata Community Church is blessed to have a long history of lay pastoral care leadership and training through Stephen Ministries and Called to Care. At any given time we have dozens of Wayzata Community Church care givers working one-to-one with persons in need within our community, and visiting members in hospitals and care centers. These care companions extend the ministry of pastoral care far beyond the limitations of the staff. The training itself is an opportunity to learn more about how to be disciples and neighbors to all who we encounter on our life’s journey. Training and educational opportunities are offered throughout the year. Contact the pastoral care office to be connected to a care companion, or to find our more about becoming a Care Companion.
Prayer Chain:
The Prayer Chain is a network of members devoted to prayer on behalf of others. Prayer requests may be submitted to the Pastoral Care department at any time. All requests are held in strict confidence.
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be know to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, 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 understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3: 4-7
Prayer Room:
Just west of the Sanctuary, in the short hall that connects Founder’s Hall to the main reception desk is the Prayer Room. This room is open and available to anyone whenever the church is open. This room provides a quite, contemplative space to pray and reflect. If you wish, you can write out and leave a prayer for yourself or for someone else who is on your heart.
Prayer Notes:
Just outside the Prayer Room is a rack with a variety of Prayer Notes that are offered for your personal use. On a table on the Northwest end of Founder’s Hall, and by the Prayer Room, is a rack of Care Notes that represent many topics of concern to our members and friends. Feel free to pick up one of these booklets to help you or someone you love through hard times.
