Workshop Description:
Join us for a practical and engaging 90-minute webinar designed to equip lay leaders for one of the church’s most meaningful ministries of care: visiting those in institutions and homes and extending the sacrament of Holy Communion to those who are unable to attend worship. Together, we will explore the pastoral foundations and practical skills needed for compassionate institutional and home visitation, including how to prepare for a visit, listen with care, offer prayer and spiritual encouragement, and navigate sensitive situations with confidence. Special attention will be given to the sacred responsibility of home communion—helping lay leaders approach this ministry with reverence, faithfulness, and a deeper understanding of its connection to the gathered worshiping community. Whether you are new to this ministry or seeking to strengthen your skills, this webinar will provide encouragement, practical guidance, and meaningful resources for serving others with Christ-centered care.
