PRAYER FOR THE CAREGIVER
-
Unknown and often unnoticed, you are a hero nonetheless.
For your love, sacrificial, is God at his best.
You walk by faith in the darkness of the great unknown,
And your courage, even in weakness, gives life to your beloved.
You hold shaking hands and provide the ultimate care:
Your presence, the knowing, that you are simply there.
You rise to face the giants of disease and despair,
It is your finest hour, though you may be unaware.
You are resilient, amazing, and beauty unexcelled.
You are the caregiver and you have done well!-Bruce McIntyre

"When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, 'Woman, here is your son.' Then he said to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' And from that hour, this disciple took her into his own home." -John 19: 26-27
Jesus entrusted his mother’s care and well-being to another disciple, similarly, He entrusts us to care for our loved ones in need and provide compassionate care in life’s health transitions and decision-making in light of God’s merciful love.
Taking care of a loved one is rewarding, but also hard work; there are many joys and sacrifices made along the journey. The stress on caregivers can be enormous and it is important to find healthy ways to care and surround oneself with love and support from the community.

NOURISH for Caregivers
The Mission is to support and empower caregivers through the Gift of Faith. It's no secret that when someone takes on the role of caregiver they take on stress, exhaustion, and frustrations. As a result, caregivers often report declining health, emotional fatigue, depression, and even spiritual depletion. The program is designed to provide the tools and resources such as support groups, retreats, and spiritually nourishing Caregiving Wisdom Series to build a caregiver's resilience by supporting their practical, emotional and spiritual needs so that they can experience the many blessings that come with caregiving.
