Today's post is from Concordia Chaplain Rev. Roger Nuerge and is part three of the "Call to Care" series. Concordia's Chaplaincy Department actively contributes to our residents' well being.

Across the United States, it's National Nursing Home Week a time to honor the lives and milestones of the people we serve and the staff who serve them, as stated by the American Health Care Association. At Concordia, May 14-18 also serves as our Staff Appreciation Week.

It was a busy weekend at Concordia Lutheran Ministries - we had a Concordia Haven Apartments open house and, of course, our annual Fashion Show fundraiser on back-to-back days! A huge thank you to all those involved and the many smiling faces who attended one or both events.

Below is a story about the Concordia Chaplaincy Department, published in our February 2011 issue of Faith in Caring magazine. To be added to the mailing list or e-mail distribution list, e-mail us here or call the Concordia Public Relations Department at 724.352.1571, ext. 8266. Enjoy!

All month long on the Concordia Blog, we've been talking about the importance of volunteers and highlighting a few of the many people who freely give their time to enrich the lives of others. As a faith-based organization, we believe in the importance of showing others the love of God, and our volunteers embody that idea every single day.

One of the beautiful things about volunteering is that one doesn't need to fit into a specific mold to help another human being. Young or old; black or white; short or tall there is very little criteria for lending a hand in some way.

April 15-21 is National Volunteer Week. In recognition, each post this month will feature "blurbs" from some of the MANY volunteers who help us carry out our mission of caring every day. Each person who lends a hand at Concordia Lutheran Ministries deserves our highest praise, and we are so thankful for what they do.
