Hi, I'm Ann Stuart Pearce. Here at All Saints, praying for one another is foundational. We pray together during church and we pray privately at home. In addition, we use E-Care, an email-based prayer ministry, to pray for parishioners and others who are ill, have died, have a new baby, or have experienced another significant life event.
First, our clergy determine if a parishioner would like to be prayed for. If the answer is yes, an email message is sent to about 230 parishioners and staff, requesting their prayers. If you subscribe to E-Care, your only role is to offer prayers of intercession or thanksgiving. On average, subscribers receive about two messages a week.
E-Care is a powerful way for us to support each other in the parish family. If you would like to be a part of the E-Care network, click on the link or call the church office.
I have found that regularly receiving E-Care emails helps me hold parishioners in my heart with intention. It's also comforting to know that when I have been in need, my parish family is lifting me up. I encourage you to join us on E-Care.
