Pastoral Care Coordinator
Anne Hawes
Anne was welcomed on staff as Pastoral Care Worker in February, 2020. She soon realized that the job of pastoral care is a responsibility of our entire congregation and so her title changed to Pastoral Care Coordinator. St. Andrew’s is a church that cares and Anne appreciates the way in which so many lovingly reach out to other members of our church family. She sees her role as listener, encourager, and pray-er. She often comments that “Pastoral care is all about soul care.” After working in Community Health, Anne served as the Canadian Director of Nurses Christian Fellowship for 14 years and was on the board of NCF international. To this day, she enjoys her friendships with nurses from around the world. Her husband, Howard, is a retired minister who loves to share stories of his 7 years as a missionary in Africa. Anne is a member of Session and works closely with Pastor Timothy and the Pastoral Care Life group.
