Reclaiming Our Calling: Deacons and Ruling Elders and the Care of Souls
Are you seeking a more vibrant ministry of pastoral care that does not solely rely on the pastor? Have you ever wondered what to say when visiting someone who is navigating cancer or a chronic illness? Do you find yourself struggling between how to validate people’s emotions and how to assure them of the promises of God? Join us as we explore the care of souls in a congregational context and the role that ruling elders and deacons play in that important work.
This webinar was led by the Revs. Rachel Achtemeier Rhodes and Matt Rhodes. Rachel serves as Senior Pastor of Morrisville Presbyterian Church, outside of Philadelphia, and Matt has taught chaplains in Princeton as a Clinical Pastoral Educator with Penn Medicine Princeton Health. Together, Rachel and Matt Rhodes will lead a conversation about both the theoretical and practical realities of caring for one another in the church.
