The Parish Nurses’ mission is to promote the spiritual, mental and physical health of our congregation members. We do this through prayer, education, evaluation, referral and various other support modalities dependent on the situation and needs of the person’s family or group. The parish nurses meet on a monthly basis to update each other on events and progress of the ongoing program activities, goals and projects. We also discuss and plan future activities for the group.

Our typical activities include:

• Providing support to church members during their times of illness, both personal and for their family members.

• Providing and organizing presentations on health related topics throughout the year. Topics are suggested by individuals, groups within the church and needs observed by the parish nurses.

• Maintaining first aid kits and an AED in the church. The first aid kits are located over the sink in the church kitchen. The AED is located on the exterior wall across from the church office.

• Blood pressure screenings on the first or second Sunday of each month.

• Providing health-related articles each month for the Tidings publication.

• Sponsoring the annual blood drive.
