MissionLawrence.org – Saint Andrew's Church

Recently I wrote on this topic: “Wanted – Radical Christians”

As the pastor of St. Andrew’s Church and overseer of our community outreach “Mission Lawrence”, I am trusting the Lord to assemble the team He wishes to serve this place in ways that bring Jesus Christ glory and provide the people of this county a blessing in His name.

As I’ve pondered our needs in this community for several years, repeatedly I have felt the need for a Parish Nurse as my friend Rev. George Popta writes about here.

Accordingly, I have updated the “Wanted” page since it is, in effect, a prayer list of the help we pray the Lord will send.

I pray the Lord will send a retiring LPN or RN who would be willing to be licensed in this state, live on their retirement income, become part of our church community, and serve part time as a Christian Parish Nurse – i.e. be a nurse unreservedly in Christ’s name. That’s much different than being a nurse in a secular setting. This type of nurse is in a very real way a diaconal assistant within the Body of Christ and as an extension of Christ’s Body.

Such a person would need to want to pray with people, encourage them, and be willing to function in a setting that’s rather different than many churches.  Our “feel” is more classically Protestant because we’re Evangelical and Reformed and strive to live out mere Christianity.

I pray the Lord has prepared and will send such a person. After all, humanly speaking, this is a nice place to retire. People moving here from high tax, high real estate price places, often find they can purchase a suitable home here and still have a “nest egg” left over to supplement their retirement savings.

You can check out the City of Lawrenceburg TN (check out “Things To Do”) to see some of the activities here.

But despite the outward niceties, we are here for ministry and seeking those whom the Lord will send to help create a witness to His glory here!

Is that you?
