Parish Nurses from the diocese and across the country began a nationally certified program yesterday at Christ the King. Special thanks to Carol Drummond and Susan Olszewski for getting this going.
The Deacons were on Retreat last weekend. A marvelous, committed cadre of disciple leaders. I heard some outstanding sermons from several deacons. A follow up prayer request: Pray for Deacon Lynne Curtis who left for South Africa to lead a retreat for AIDS/HIV heath-caregivers this week.
