Upcoming Events
The National Day of Prayer will be celebrated this year on May 1, 2008. All around this land, people of God will be praying for our country at noon time. We are suggesting that those involved with nursing home ministry make arrangements to participate in The National Day of Prayer at the facility where they make they regular visits but at the time indicated. It will be a blessing to the residents, staff, and visitors. Please visit our special web page for this event.You can make copies of this prayer to hand out in Microsoft Word Format by clicking here.


National Nursing Home Week will be celebrated this year on May 11-17, 2008. This is a great time to start planning some activities during this period. Please visit our Special Web Page that has a link to the official web site for this holiday. You will find many suggestions and links to help celebrate this special time both with the residents and in your community. This would be a great time to promote your ministry by sending a PSA (Public Service Announcement) to your local media. Please feel free to use the sample from our web page.
