At the Fellowship, we deeply value compassionate connection, recognizing that in challenging times our greatest strength lies in how we care for each other. With this intention, we are forming a Pastoral Care Team—a dedicated group offering gentle listening, emotional support, and loving presence to members of our community when they most need to be heard, held, and comforted.

To nurture and equip this team, we will offer a series of enriching classes, exploring essential skills for compassionate caregiving.  (See schedule below.)

Understanding that compassionate care is not limited to formal roles, we warmly invite all HUUF members & friends to join us in any or all of these classes, regardless of whether you plan to join the Pastoral Care Team. In times like these, cultivating our ability to support and uplift each other is an empowering and essential act. Together, we build the resilience and connection needed to navigate the days and years ahead, nurturing a community grounded in care, compassion, and mutual support.
