PASTORAL MINISTRIES Parish Nurse
Parish Nursing balances
the theme of wellness (health promotion, disease prevention) with healing
(disease, recovery, death). The
Parish Nurse focuses on enhancing the well being of parishioners and the parish
as a whole. The Parish Nurse is
involved in the continuum of health. Parish Nursing is a
well-established ministry at Trinity. It
is not uncommon for personal health and community resource information to be
given to members in the congregation each month. A health article with a spiritual background appears
monthly in the “Tidings.”. Homebound
or hospitalized members of the congregation are regularly visited and assessed,
often linking them to outside community resources. Parish Nursing has reached beyond Trinity to encompass
homebound members in our community, generally the elderly, who are not members
of Trinity. Medication assistance,
visual assessments, and assistance in accessing community resources have been
provided. Lay Eucharistic ministry is an integral part of Parish
Nursing. Communion is taken to many
people on a weekly basis, also reaching into the community to those not
belonging to Trinity, but of the Episcopal faith. The goal for the coming year is to continue to journey
with the members of Trinity and those in the community, encouraging them to be
stewards of their own health, assisting them to experience spiritual, mental,
emotional and physical wellness.
Prayer and Healing Fellowship The
Prayer and Healing Fellowship meets each Wednesday at 10:00 am in the Library.
We invite anyone who wishes to join us.
We offer prayers regularly for each member of the parish, for those who
are ill, and for those asking for our prayers in the parish and in the
community. We use a short Service
of Healing and a reading from the Forward Day by Day pamphlet.
New members and visitors are always welcome.
Stephen Ministry When
we become overwhelmed by grief or crisis we often ask “Where are you God?”
Later as we look back, we realize that God was with us every step of the
way. God
uses ordinary people as we struggle with our faith and the crises we endure.
God’s people embody God’s love and make our lives bearable until the
pain is lessened and joy can come again. Here
at Trinity we have trained Stephen
Ministers who can walk with you in times of crisis by listening in a
confidential setting. |
