Pastoral Care

The UUCF Care Team provides a compassionate presence and confidential support for members and friends of the congregation, who are facing illness, medical procedures, life transitions, or crisis. When possible we offer hospital, home, and/or phone visits, provide and/or coordinate meals and transportation to medical appointments, and help connect those in need to resources to the community. The Care Team is not able to provide medical, nursing or therapy services; however, appropriate referrals to agencies are offered as needed.

To be connected with a member of the Care Team or to schedule an appointment for pastoral care or spiritual direction with Rev. Carl, please send an email to .
