Dear Community –

In difficult times like this, your Pelham religious leaders want you to know that we are here for you.  Our religious communities are active in trying to lend a hand to the caring that is going on all over Pelham.  We applaud all the good work being done through the Pelham Cares:  Neighbor to Neighbor fund raising and organizing to help those in need.  We send up “a shout out” for our Pelham first responders and health care personnel who are working doubly hard in a high risk time. We are busy sharing hope and encouragement with our congregations.

But we don’t want anyone to be left out.

Sometimes we just want to know God cares. If you would like to talk to a clergyperson in our town, below you can find our contacts.  We can’t always respond immediately to your call or email, but we promise to get back to you soon.  We’ll set up a time to chat, answer a question, or say a prayer.  God loves each and everyone of us.  We want to help make the comfort and strength of our Creator available to everyone.

Yours in solidarity,

The Pelham Interfaith Council and its clergy:
