Growth Group
When our life's purpose is based on our relationship with God, we can experience His wholeness and peace through self-care and interconnection to others. We meet at the church on Tuesdays at 1:30. The discussions are lively and revolve around strengthening our personal relationship with God. Each week we have new people join us and we would welcome you. Call Nurse Rose (the Church office) with any questions or if you need a ride.
WHAT IS THE MISSION OF THE HEALTH MINISTRY PROGRAM AT BELLEVUE HEIGHTS?
An innovative Heath Ministry program, with a “wholistic” approach to meeting needs, is a vital part of efforts by Bellevue Heights Church to reach out and touch the lives of members and friends.
Nurse Rose Coulter, head of Health Ministry, listens and discusses health concerns with persons in their homes, in hospitals and care facilities, and in her office at church. Many hours are spent helping individuals manage their own health care, while stressing the value of healthy lifestyles and the relationship of faith, health and healing.
While addressing the patient’s physical requirements, the program emphasizes ministry to the whole person, including his or her spiritual needs. The power of prayer to comfort and heal is an integral part of the hope delivered to all persons.
Acting as an advocate in the health care system and as a referral source for church and community resources are important parts of Nurse Rose’s efforts as well. Another vital part of her calling is counseling. On many occasions, the counseling includes family members involved in making major health care decisions.
A typical day in the life of Rose Coulter involves a myriad of activities, including checking on the homebound and making hospital visits.
Caring for the special needs of individuals in an aging community is the calling of Nurse Rose who has been commissioned as a member of the Ministry Team at Bellevue Heights Church. She can be reached at 623-977-8308, or via email at rcoulter@bellevueheightschurch.com.
Spiritual Director
What is spiritual direction? Spiritual direction is seeking where God is present in your journey. It involves three people, the directee (seeking God), the spiritual director, (who holds the sacred space and listens for the Holy Spirit), and the Holy Spirit. Rose has completed the Spiritual Direction program through Christo's Center located in Minnesota in May 2009. If you desire an appointment with Rose to engage in spiritual direction, please call the church office for an appointment. This is not counseling; it is actively seeking God and His call to you in your life. She will be delighted to discern with you if spiritual direction could be of value for you at this time.
