Pastoral Care

During Covid, we organised Pastoral Groups with 5  or 6 households in each in order to maintain contact with one another, and so that we could pray and care for one annother. If you would like to be part of one of these groups please email the Rectors.

Our Pastoral Care Team

There is a team of people who provide pastoral care to support people in their pain, loss and anxiety for people within our village community and help with personal needs and problems as well as offering friendship and celebration.

The Pastoral Care team is made up of 4 people with other individuals in the community helping others in their own way. Please feel free to contact our pastoral team on the following email: churchofficestmargarets@gmail.com

Horsmonden Pastoral Care offers: Confidentiality, Listening in a Christian context, Friendship and Prayer and Spiritual support.
