Celebrate Caregiver Sunday

November 13, 2011

Caregiver Sunday materials were developed by members of PHEWA’s Presbyterian Health Network (PHN) to assist congregations in recognizing and celebrating care givers and the ministry of offering care.  While Caregiver Sunday was designated on the Presbyterian Planning Calendar for November 13, 2010, we would encourage you to use these materials on whatever dates work in the life of your congregation. PHN’s 2011 Caregiver Sunday materials address the "Journey in the Desert: For Caregivers of Those Living With Mental Illness."

PC(USA) Wellness Connection

The PC(USA) Wellness Connection helps to identify Presbyterian congregations who are working to live out, sustain and promote whole health and wellness within their own life and within the wider community. Through this directory PHN can identify and lift up outstanding models of ministry. It also enables congregations to contact each other directly to learn about health ministries. Individual members of congregations can use the directory to learn about health ministries that may be able to assist with such issues as long-distance caregiving. The directory is all about being Presbyterian — a connectional church, living out our call to be a community of health, healing and wholeness.

Participants representing every aspect and area of criminal justice are coming together to share their experience and best practices in order to create a Criminal Justice Network with the capacity to educate, organize, and mobilize faith communities and persons of faith to do the work of justice and mercy.
