$44.00 inc. GST

This prayer service DVD supports spiritual care for residents in residential aged care
An easter activity manual for seniors covers seasonal faith observance, but spiritual care runs year-round. This DVD was produced in response to requests from care facilities seeking a way to provide spiritual comfort for residents who can no longer attend church regularly. Each service runs for approximately half a hour, with hymn words, prayers, and responses displayed on screen so residents can follow along without needing a printed order of service.
What’s included
The disc contains two separate versions of the Book of Common Prayer services used by the Anglican Church, with adaptations recognised by Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian traditions.
