If you are aware of someone in need of a pastoral call, please inform Pastor Derrick on his cell phone
712-344-2846. He would rather hear from multiple sources than from no one at all. In these times of
privacy rights, hospitals and nursing homes may not divulge information relating to a resident or pa-
tient, so it is very important that members and/or their families let the Pastor know of all needs for
pastoral care.
