Northfield Methodist Church

After the loss of a loved one, caregivers visit the bereaved, offering care, a listening ear and assistance with practical needs and prayer. Caregivers maintain contact, either by home visits or by telephone, for as long as it is deemed necessary. Pastoral therapy, either at the home of the bereaved, or at Pastoral Care, may sometimes be necessary. Caregivers encourage and assist the bereaved family to have closer contact with the community of the Church. On the last Saturday of each month, a widow's 'bring and share' lunch is held.
