Upcoming Events
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope that this new year will be joyous and prosperous for you, your families, and your ministry.

As we enter into this new year, we suggest that it is time to raise the bar in your ministry activities at the nursing homes. During the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, many friends, relatives, and volunteer groups make special visits and presentations. Now that the holiday activity has ceased, it is now more important than ever to come along side the residents and be their "Faithful Friends". We have selected some Special Resources on our site for your consideration.

Here are some web sites that may assist you in a New Years Presentation.

Valentines Day, February 14, 2010 is an ideal time to show the residents how much both you and God love them. Visit our Valentines Day Page. There you will find several examples of Devotionals and Cards that can be printed and handed out, as well as links to other useful websites.

Since this Month is Super Bowl XLIV, try this devotional on "God's Super Bowl" at your next meeting. Print some extra copies to hand out during your presentation.


New We have been given permission by Rev. Diana McMahan of Musical Medicine to make available for FREE on our web site her top selling CD "Heavenly Assurance". On this CD Diana sings reassuring hymns with a gentle harp background. She also includes scripture with embedded prayers. You may download this CD for FREE at our Download Web Page. We pray that it may be a blessing to both you and the residents you serve. You can purchase other products from Musical Medicine at the CD Baby Website.
Instructions on how to "Clown Around" at the Nursing Home. This is a must watch!
Recruiting of Volunteers is one of the most discussed areas of nursing home ministry. We have developed a Recuriting Web Page specifically for that need. Please let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions for adding to the page.
