  • An Afternoon of respite

    Thu, Apr 3 @ 1-3pm

    We have scheduled a "help with your care receiver opportunity" on April 3, from 1-3pm at the church. On that day, Stephen Ministers will be on hand to spend time with those in our community with health/aging concerns who are not able to get out much. We hope to give those taking care of these loved ones some time away to run errands, see friends, have a bit of alone time or whatever is needed. We will provide several kinds of mild activities such as card games, puzzles, music, a listening ear for favorite stories, etc.
