Nurture & Care

Parish Nurse Ministry

The Parish Nurse Ministry, operated by Rose Goyke, RN, is a vital part of the health ministry of Peace Lutheran Church.

Churches have been promoting health and wholeness for centuries through worship, music, sharing and caring. Another dimension is the inclusion of a registered nurse. The nurse assists members of the congregation to become more aware of their health and move toward a fuller sense of wholeness. Healing and caring activities were a focal part of the ministry of Jesus and that ministry continues to belong in the church community. ...more information on this ministry

Care of Congregation
Connie, Rose
The Care of Congregation Team's ministry is to provide care and comfort to members of Peace Lutheran Church.

They oversee the 'Meals that Heal' subcommittee which prepares and delivers meals to members following surgery or illness when needed and also provide one meal a month to the Nexus House in Oshkosh.

By sending friendly notes and Christmas bags, they reach out to the homebound members of Peace.

The 'Prayer Shawl' ministry is actively engaged in providing care and comfort to those in need. Knitters are always welcome to pick-up yarn to knit prayer shawls. Just call Rose Goyke our Parish Nurse at the number above.
