Parish Nurse Mission
In Luke 9:2, Jesus sent His disciples to preach and heal the sick. According to Paul's letter in I Corinthians 12:27, God has appointed those in the church having gifts of healing. Working from this biblical perspective, the Pearce Parish Nursing Team offers a ministry by responding to the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of members
of the community.		  

Practical Support
The Pearce Parish Nurse team is available to provide support and care in the following
ways.

• Support people as they give care to loved ones
• Provide information on health and wellness
• Interpret what your doctor is telling you
• Answer questions about the health care system
• Answer questions about medications and other treatments
• Minister to individuals during life's circumstances
 
History of Parish Nurses
The parish nurse ministry role originated in the early 1970's through a hospital chaplain. Since then, parish nurses have become valuable members of church ministerial staffs,
visiting parishioners who have physical problems, enabling them to access appropriate community resources and ministering to the spiritual needs of the patient and family.
The Pearce Parish Nurse Team was commissioned by Pearce Memorial Church on October 17, 1993, to use their abilities to facilitate and promote health and healing.		   To Contact the Parish Nursing Team

Parish Nurse Role at Pearce
The Parish Nurse Team at Pearce serves in a valuable advisory role for the GriefShare Ministry, the Cancer Support Ministry and the Adult Connection Ministry. Each of these
ministry teams rely on the guidance and input from our Parish Nurses to ensure that each ministry is providing optimum care and support in their ministry area.

The Parish Nurse Team gives oversight to a Service of Hope which is held on the second Monday, of December each year. This service is designed to bring hope and healing for
individuals who have experienced grief during the past year. Usually, the grief issues are related to the death of a loved one, but could also relate to a divorce or other grief event.

The Parish Nurse Team under the guidance of Dr. Susanne Mohnkern provides blood pressure checks at Pearce Church on the second Sunday morning of each month in the church library. This is a valuable service to people who need to closely monitor their blood pressure on a regular basis.
