PARISH NURSE MINISTRY

The Parish Nurse is one who facilitates the wholistic health of a congregation and in so doing reclaims the healing ministry of the church.  The nurse focuses on the spiritual, emotional and physical dimensions of persons as they strive to achieve wellness and to manage their illness.  The parish nurse functions as an educator, a counselor, a referral agent and an advocate.  It is not necessary to be a nurse to participate in the Parish Nurse Ministry.

 

Blood Pressures are taken the first and third Sundays of the month in the Parish House after the 10 a.m. service.  Anyone can participate in this free program.  Stop by the Parish Nurse Ministry table in the Parish House and you will be given a card to keep track of your visits.
