Spiritual Dimension of Care (5.5 hrs)

If you're interested in healing, this workshop is for you. Learn how to think like a Christian Science nurse. Do you have to be a Christian Science nurse, or interested in becoming a Christian Science nurse to attend this (or any) workshop? No. It's the metaphysical foundation, the spiritual perspective of care, based on the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings. Come prepared for a day of deep thinking and prayerful uplift. During this workshop, we'll explore the spiritual foundation of Christian Science nursing based on Mrs. Eddy's writings including The Manual Bylaw and passages from the Bible. We'll dive deep into the ethics of Christian Science nursing as well as the qualities that are expressed. You might just find that you already express the qualities of a Christian Science nurse! 

Those who attended this workshop last year reported in their feedback that they felt this workshop was deeply inspiring and vitally important to their own practice, as well as how they view their role in church and as one who can meet the need of those in need of care.

Care Committee (2 hrs)

Be the Good Samaritan. The Care Committee workshop is a great way to learn basic, practical skills to assist church friends. This is for anyone who wants to learn the basic skills of how to help others, and help grow a culture of caring at your church. Usher, care committees, reading room attendants, board members, etc. would all benefit from this workshop. It builds upon the Spiritual Dimension of Care workshop, so that the metaphysical foundation has been established. This is important so that these care ideas do not become merely physical activities, but instead are undergirded by spiritual truths that facilitate healing. Looking for extra resources?
