Our theme is exploring the world and its people through food. Each month we'll feature food from a different place - potluck style. We'll share a meal together, enjoy some good company, maybe play some games, and decide together what else we might like to do as this community grows.

This month: China!

Nursing Home Ministry

Pathways in Compassion

Approximately half of all people living in nursing homes essentially have been abandoned. They have no visitors and no one to advocate for them.

Pathways in Compassion is a nursing home visitation ministry that matches volunteers with individuals living in nursing facilities who do not have regular visitors. For more information or to get a copy of our informational booklet, click here.
