Congregational Care

Our Congregational Care Team is the eyes and ears of a caring congregation.

On a day-to-day basis, the team works in coordination with the professional staff to respond in a timely manner to the needs of our members. Some of those responsibilities include visiting members in their homes, delivering food, organizing memorial service receptions, and celebrating the arrival of a new baby with a meal and baby blanket. The team also meets monthly to consider how they might respond compassionately, constructively and reasonably on a case-by-case basis to those needing support or assistance.

The Congregational Care Team could not do its work without the help of its many friends. If you would like to lend your support to this important ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Community of Charlotte, get in touch with the team through our contact form.

If you have a special need or know of the needs of another UUCC member, please let us know by notifying the UUCC office at 704-366-8623 or through our contact form.

Healing Threads: Prayer Shawl Ministry

Meet to knit or crochet together as a spiritual community to create and bless shawls for KinderMourn, a non-profit organization that supports bereaved parents and siblings. KinderMourn gives the shawls to parents. We gather monthly to offer and bless the shawls we complete. In addition, Healing Threads’ shawls are given to Unitarian Universalist Community of Charlotte members who experience loss of a child or partner or a significant physical hardship. Meets in the Bernstein Room on the 2nd Monday at 7 p.m. Contact Kathleen Moloney-Tarr at krmt1923(at)gmail.com.

Need a pattern? Here is a simple starter pattern. Shawls should be 18-20″ wide and 58-60″ long.

If you are unable to join the group on the 2nd Monday, we still welcome your shawls! The group will bless them at the next gathering and make sure they are shared with KinderMourn or a UUCC member in need. Please contact Kathleen to let her know you have one available.
