PASTORAL CARE COMMITTEE
Thanks to all of the volunteers that help to make this ministry such a success at Manakin! If you are interested in assisting with our Pastoral Care needs, please contact the church.
Another important piece of Pastoral Care at Manakin is the Manakin Prayer Vine. The Prayer Vine was created to provide you with access to a group of people (“Prayer Angels”) committed to praying for you, your family or friends. Prayer requests can be as detailed or vague as you would like them to be.
If you have a prayer request or would like to become a “prayer angel” please send an email to manakinprayer@verizon.net.
An Easter Snow Storm
Parishioners of Manakin Episcopal Church unable to attend Worship Service as a result of a long-term illness will soon receive some small comfort from the Pastoral Care Committee. And despite that snow in April is somewhat uncommon, parishioners will receive some of that also. Snow Globes (you know, the kind you had when you were a kid) designed by Ann Markel with photography by Clovis Khoury reveal Manakin Episcopal Church and its altar. “We thought the idea would be a special reminder to those who cannot attend Church regularly because they are either in a long-term care facility, a hospital or recovering from an illness at home,” said Ann Markel. “It’s a simple gift to say, ‘we love you’.” The photographs taken during Easter highlight a most special occasion and create a beautiful contrast with a light dusting of snow inside the globe. Now that is heavenly!
