In January 2009, our congregation launched a new ministry focused on the live-in caregivers in our area. This ministry, directed by Gloria Stafford, is intended to provide support and encouragement to these caregivers and allow them to make friendships with other caregivers.

The Caregivers Group meets every fourth Saturday of the month. In addition to providing opportunities for fellowship, these meetings often include workshops on topics such as burnout and stress, communication, employer/employee relations, and finances.

Gloria also offers counselling to those caregivers who are coping with the challenges of being separated from family members.
