CDS
*Get My People GOING!! (CD)
IPNRC: St. Louis, MO, April 2008
$25.00 (includes shipping)
A new wellness program, based on the Exodus story, is for children and adults of all ages and health conditions. The eight-week program encourages participants to choose three lifestyle areas they would like to improve: such as exercise, diet, sleep, prayer, time with friends, or drinking water. Each person is asked to choose a "buddy" with whom they check in weekly. Not everyone can run a marathon, even walk a mile, or get out of a chair, yet everyone can be part of this congregational wellness initiative. CDs are available from the IPNRC which include a participant booklet, an implementation manual, and a bulletin board, which may be printed from the CD and personalized for your own congregational setting.

Parish Nurse Cross
Jeweler Lori Catlin Garcia of Fine Art Cross has created the first-ever Parish Nursing Cross!
The Parish Nurse Cross takes the beloved stained glass logo of the International Parish Nurse Resource Center and translates it into a cross with delicate beauty and detail. Cast in pure sterling silver, the cross weighs 3.6 grams and comes on an Italian-made, 1.5mm Venetian box chain in your choice of three lengths:. 20” (standard) 18” (shorter) 24” (long/sweater). The cross measures approximately 1 and 3/8 inches (34mm) long by 13/16” (20mm) wide. The back of each piece is engraved with “Parish Nurse” along with Lori Catlin Garcia’s distinctive maker’s mark.
The cross comes beautifully packaged in our custom silver and black logo box protective fabric interior flaps. Each piece also comes with a story about Parish Nursing written by Lori’s sister, Cheryl Larson.
10% of the purchase price of the Parish Nurse Cross goes to the Westberg Institute, which supports the growth and development of parish nursing here and abroad through the Westberg Parish Nurse Symposium.
