Spiritual Gifts Workshop

Have you ever completed a spiritual gifts inventory to assess what your Spiritual Gifts and Passions are? Perhaps you have but it's been a while - have your gifts changed?

A Spiritual Gifts Workshop will be presented by Linnea Nilsen Capshaw. Ms. Capshaw, a coach, facilitator, consultant and trainer from the EQUIPPING THE CHURCH MOVEMENT works with faith-based organizations and congregations nationally. We will not only discover our own spiritual gifts and passions, but will learn how to assess and implement a system of involvement for our volunterrs, to empower them rather than burn them out, transforming them into wise and bold ministers for Christ.

When: Saturday, 26 August 2006
Where: Trinity United Methodist Church, 228 29th Street Newport News, VA 23607
Cost: $5.00 (includes lunch and material)

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Our Faith Community Nurse, Kelly Good, has recommended this seminar that is coming to Norfolk on August 26th. It is about the surprisingly large role of halogens in both our wellness and dysfunction (Iodine -Bromine, Chlorine - Fluorine). Kelly said you need to register right away if you would like to attend. For more information or to register go to their website at http://www.xymogen.com

Good Morning - It's August

It seems that August is already here. We have been on vacation and time really goes quickly when you are having great fun. I hope you have been able to "get away" this summer. Well, it's time for me to get in gear again.

This week I will be loading a lot of new information to www.FaithCommunityNurses.com and
this blog.....please try to read it at least once each week. We are having great comments from those who are using it.

If you have anything you want to add, please email me at SusanSaundersRN@cox.net I will get it right on!

Have a great day and stay blessed! Susan
