Welcome to the website of the Evangelical Lutheran Parish Nurse Association! We seek to be the light of Christ as we integrate faith and health in the ministry of parish nursing. Here you will find basic information about parish nursing as well as updates on our progress and activities. May God bless you with peace and joy for the day!
Grace and Peace.....
As a national group, we are making progress in becoming a visible presence at many different functions including the Youth Gathering in New Orleans. We have met and cared for many folks along the way.
Behind the scenes, the board continues the diligent work of by-laws, websites, and filtering through the many shifts and changes which come along. Several of our members attended the Westberg Symposium at the Church Health Center in Memphis. We will also be present at our CWA in Pittsburgh in August, where we staff a "comfort station"......a refuge for weary assembly participants.
Thanks be to God for the members of our board, the regional representatives, Tammy Devine Wellness Director, Portico Benefits and to so many Faith Community Nurses who serve tirelessly and continue to respond to God's call to this important ministry.
Be well.
May God abundantly bless you,
Lori Tormey, Chair,
June Sand, Vice Chair,
Carol Deschepper, Secretary,
Nancy Deetz, Treasurer
