New Facebook Group
Are you on facebook?
 
Alabama BNF has a new Facebook Group for Baptist Nursing Fellowship and Parish Nurses.
This group is a great place to share your best BNF ministry ideas or ask questions of BNF members who may have just the answer you're looking for. 
You do have to be a member of Facebook in order to join the group. It's easy to join and it's free. Once you're a Facebook member e-mail Lucretia to join the Alabama BNF and Parish Nurse Group.
Congratulations to the new Parish Nurse graduates!
Thirteenth Parish Nurse class graduates sixteen...

Alabama WMU, the Ida Moffit School of Nursing, and the Baptist Health System partners to provide an annual training for Parish Nurses. In addition to earning nursing CEU's, graduates are equipped to begin and lead  a health and wellness ministry in their church. 
 
The Parish Nurse class equips nurses for ministry but also is a time of spiritual refreshing and retreat for participants. You are trained to see a holistic approach to health and wellness in body, mind, and spirit for yourself as well as your congregation. 
    
The class is held on two weekends in February and March, at Shocco Springs Conference Center in Talladega, Alabama. Both sessions are necessary to complete the training and class sizes are limited to twenty-five participants. The cost for the class, workbook materials, meals, and accommodations is $550.
