Last Thursday evening I attended an annual banquet for the Parish Nursing program in the Quad Cities as a guest of our Parish Nurse, here at Church of Peace, Mary Oelschlaeger. It was an enjoyable dinner and presentation.
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the program here in our area. There was a lot of remembering and celebrating past and visionary leaders.
The keynote speaker for the evening was Deborah Peterson, Executive Director, Internationa Parish Nurse Resource Center/Deaconess Parish Nurse Ministries of St Louis. Her organization of Deaconnesses grows out of the same German Evangelical roots as does our local church. It was good to meet her and hear her message.
We are greatly benefitted here at the Church of Peace by our Parish Nurse, Mary O, and her ministry among us.
