Mission Statement:
The Health and Wellness Ministry recognizes life as a sacred gift. With the understanding that whole person unity requires the integration of body, mind, and spirit, we promote wellness for all persons. Our mission is to reveal Christ’s love to all people by caring with compassion, fostering healing, and nurturing one another with prayer and God’s Word.
St. Mark's Health & Wellness ministry began in 2019 with the retirement of former Parish Nurse, June Benedick. Through the years, HWM has been led by Kim Ott, Anita Robinson and current Parish Nurse, Becky Schnitzius.
The Companion Group of the HWM has provided care and support for many members of this congregation. They are not only willing, but they are ready on a moment’s notice to provide a meal, drive someone to a doctor’s appointment, make a phone call, send a card or email to someone, visit someone who is lonesome, or rally the troops to help someone when necessary.
