Some congregations are exemplary in this regard, the elders ensuring that regular shepherding visits are made to aged and frail ones, even those who are being well looked after by their families.
Mõned kogudused on selles suhtes eeskujulikud, kuna sealsed vanemad hoolitsevad selle eest, et eakate ja nõrkade juurde — ka nende juurde, kelle eest perekond hästi hoolitseb — tehtaks regulaarseid karjasekülastusi.
