UUC Care Bears can be identified by the Care Bear stickers on their name tags

Cares & Concerns Team works to meet the needs of members going through a crisis, or celebrating a joy, or trying to make a significant transition. The team works with the minister in providing a caring and supportive ministry to UUC members. The minister is available for pastoral care and should be contacted in the event of any pastoral emergency. The Cares & Concerns Team follows up with Joys and Sorrows expressed during the Sunday Service, visits with members of the community and shares a caring ministry in many different ways such as - making home & hospital visits, delivering meals, sending notes of support, and helping support the pastoral work of the ministers. The Cares & Concerns Team will try to help out with transportation needs during health recovery periods. They may be able to help in transporting you home from a rehab center, or bringing you to Sunday services, or taking you to doctor appointments.
