At UU Wellesley Hills, we remain deeply connected by caring for each other through the challenges presented by illness, disability, loss of loved ones, and other life crises. We strive to be present for one another so that no one in need feels isolated.
A committed team of Caring & Companioning volunteers extends the pastoral reach of our ministerial staff by offering to help congregants who might benefit from concrete assistance or emotional support. The Team can provide help with transportation, escort, and meals on an occasional basis. They also offer a listening ear to members and friends who are struggling: they provide ongoing emotional support through phone and in-person visits. Team members consult regularly with ministerial staff to identify unmet needs and agree to respect confidentiality.
The Caring & Companioning Team is often involved in with Memorial Services led by our minister, coordinating volunteers to help with ushering and receptions.
If you would like to be connected with our Caring & Companioning Team, please contact the UU Wellesley Hills office or reach out to our Senior Minister, Mark Robel.
