The pastoral care team is comprised of our clergy and two staff members. We want to make sure we can connect to support our parishioners in any time of need. A Pastoral Care Line is active for parishioners experiencing a pastoral emergency when the church office is closed. The on-call number is available through the weekly Parish News. If you would like to email with the clergy, please use pastoralcare@ghtc.org.

At 2:00 p.m. on the third Monday afternoon of each month the members of the Spirited Readers Book Club arrives at the appointed home with copies of a novel – or a biography, perhaps a mystery, or maybe a current volume of non-fiction.
