Grace and Peace Chaplaincy
A compassion ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church in DuPage County, Il



Focus Three: Individual Pastoral Care

One-on-One Ministry

A resident, family member, or staff can request an
individual, face-to-face room visit with a sick,
suffering, comatose, or dying person at bedside/wheelchair.

Individual Visitation

With a "non-anxious" ministry of presence, the pastoral call can include:

  • Appropriate touch
  • "Comfort" Music - vocal/autoharp
  • Reading - Scripture or other
  • Prayer for healing/reconciliation
  • Anointing of oil
  • Communion


"Becoming older with grace ... Deeper in peace with Christ"
