All Saints' Support: Shut-ins

There a program of active support for shut-ins - those who find it difficult or impossible to leave their homes to participate in the life of the parish. The parish reaches out to support these parishoners through the acute or chronic phases of any confinement.

CD of the weekly service
The audio of the weekly sung eucharist is recorded, and transferred to standard audio CDs, which are delivered that week to shut-ins and others who were unable to attend.

Prayers
Shut-ins for whom prayers are requested are explicitly included in the weekly prayers of the people when the congregation gathers in prayer.

Visiting
Shut-ins are visitied and brought holy communion by the All Saints' pastoral care team, to add this special support to the natural program of visits by friends.
