Pastoral Care
Our community provides support to one another as we walk together through life, especially in times of crisis, illness, or grief. There are many ways to receive and offer support in difficult times. We are here for you and for each other.
Hospital & Home Visits
St. Paul’s is committed to visiting parishioners daily in the hospital and at home. If you are a parishioner, please let us know if you go to the hospital or have a scheduled surgery. Email a member of the staff directly or call the office at (479) 442-7373. For after-hours emergencies, press “4” to be forwarded to our emergency line.
Prayer Requests
You may request prayers for yourself or for someone else through the form linked below. Names are added to the Sunday Prayers of the People, and are also included in the Daily Office of Morning and Evening Prayer.
Meet with Clergy
You may request to speak with a member of the clergy for pastoral care. Call the church office or reach out to a clergy member directly to set up an appointment.
Eucharistic Visitors
Eucharistic Visitors share consecrated bread and wine with sick or homebound members of our community. If you would like Holy Communion brought to you, please call the church office or reach out to a member of clergy or staff.
Prayer Shawls
Prayer Shawls, made by a team of St. Paul’s parishioners, are available for anyone needing comfort during illness, grief, or one of life’s trials. To request a prayer shawl for yourself or a loved one, call or stop by the church office.
Healing Touch
Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing energy therapy that helps to restore balance and promote wellbeing. Our ministry is staffed by parishioners who have been trained to practice Healing Touch in pairs as a simple form of prayerful intercession.
Walking The Mourner’s Path
Walking The Mourner’s Path offers comfort, healing, and community to individuals who are in grief through a series of eight weekly workshops.
