The Health Ministry Task Force utilizes both lay and professional health resources to nurture the congregation and surrounding community through the promotion and support of healing and wellness. The task force identifies, initiates and follows-up on parish health and wellness programs including Stephen Ministry, XYZ, Parish Nurses, Caring Visitors, and Wellness Education. The key focus is to support, assist and identify wellness programs. They are an active on-going committee that encourages the congregation in caring for each other as well as for the community surrounding Bethany. Anyone who is interested in the five areas of parish health and wellness is welcome to join the task force. They meet on the 2nd Tuesday in January, March, May, July, September and November at 7:00pm. The subgroups each have individual meeting times.
