The UUCF Care Team provides a compassionate presence and support for members and friends of the congregation, who are facing illness, medical procedures, life transitions, bereavement, or crisis. When possible we offer visits in-person (home or hospital), connect through calls/texts/Zooms/emails, and/or coordinate meals and transportation to medical appointments. We strive to assist with short-term needs as a supplement to individual care plan. The Care Team is unable to provide medical, psychological, long-term, or acute-care support, but we are glad to offer referrals to agencies and resources in the wider community as needed.
To be connected with a member of the Care Team or to schedule an appointment for pastoral care or spiritual direction with Rev. Carl, please send an email to Minister@FrederickUU.org.
