The Parish Nurse ministry at Prince of Peace helps to care for one another by attaining, maintaining and regaining the best possible whole person's wellness of body, mind and spirit.  The role of the Parish Nurse is a health counselor, referral source, and an advocate for an individual.  The Parish Nurse is a blend of professional nursing and spiritual caregiving.  The Parish Nurse visits members at the church and in their homes or care facilities.

Mary Hume was commissioned as the first Parish Nurse of Prince of Peace in July, 1999.

National Picnic Month is a wonderful time to enjoy the outdoors, share food, and spend meaningful time with family and friends. Picnics offer a simple way to slow down, appreciate nature, and build stronger relationships within our communities.

Gathering together and sharing meals reflects the importance of fellowship. Throughout the Bible, people often gathered around meals to celebrate, give thanks, and strengthen relationships. Spending time together outdoors reminds us of the beauty of God’s creation and the blessings He provides.

A picnic can be as simple as a sandwich in the park, a church potluck outside, or a family meal under the shade of a tree. These moments allow us to laugh, connect, and encourage one another.

During National Picnic Month, consider inviting a friend, neighbor, or fellow church member to share a meal outdoors. Fellowship, gratitude, and community are gifts that bring joy and reflect God’s love in our lives. 🧺
