Altar Flowers Ministry
The Church Altar flowers are taken on Sunday to parishioners who are in the hospital or other locations in the in Fort Worth and surrounding areas. They are donated to the Church, Chapel and Children's Chapel by parishioners whishing to remember a loved one, celebrate a birthday or anniversary, etc.
Sanda Warren, the Parish Secretary, makes the decision as to whom the flowers will be delivered to based on hospital information, illness or certain parishioners, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, those grieving or new born babies.
Please volunteer to take the Sunday flowers by calling the Parish office and if you know of someone in need of flowers to brighten their day, please also notify the Parish office.
The cost of the flowers is as follows: $80.00 for the Church Altar, $50.00 for the Chapel Altar and $10.00 for the Children's Chapel Altar.

Counseling
The clergy of St. Andrew's are available for personal counseling in their offices as needed by parish members or others. This should be arranged by appointment. The clergy adhere to the confidential nature of counseling sessions. Referrals will be made where appropriate. The Episcopal Church requires the services of a master's level social worker or a licensed marriage and family therapist for long-term solutions.

Pastoral Care & Visitation
The Director of Pastoral Care, Fr. Richard Clark, is glad to minister to members who are experiencing a health crisis and are in the hospital or another care facility or at home. He may be reached by telephone at (817) 717-1030. He is available to take Holy Communion on a regular basis to members who are unable to come to the Service at church, either permanently or for some period of time. And he oversees the work of the Eucharistic Visitors whose ministry is described below, as well as the Stephen Ministry in the parish.

Eucharistic Visitors
Through this ministry Communion is taken directly from a Sunday morning Service to parishioners who are unable to join the community at worship. The person who leads in the visit will have received training through the Pastoral Care Office and a license from the bishop. Normally another parishioner accompanies the leader, and this person requires no special training or a license.
To enquire about training for this ministry or to indicate interest in accompanying a license Visitor on a visit, contact the Pastoral Care Office at (817) 717-1030.

Stephen Ministry
St. Andrew’s is registered as a Stephen Ministry congregation, which means that we are able to train and oversee parishioners in a ministry designed to support fellow parishioners during times of particular stress or distress. Rigorous training precedes functioning as a Stephen Minister, and monthly supervision meetings continue throughout the minister’s service. When assigned to a parishioner who requests this support the minister generally gives approximately one hour per week to the Care Receiver.
