Whispering Pines
Sunday, July 1, 1:30-2:00 pm
On the first Sunday of each month, a team from Living Hope leads a short worship service for the Alzheimer’s patients at Wispering Pines (3301 N. Calumet Ave). They sing some old hymns, share a short message from the Bible, pray, and visit. These men and women can’t get out to a church service, so we help bring the church service to them.
If you’d like to help, let Pastor Rich know (email / phone) and plan to be there a few minutes early so that you can find your way up to the Alzheimer’s ward (called TIMBRE). When you arrive, drive “around back” between Whispering Pines and the Pines Village retirement community and enter using the doors under the drive-up/drop-off overhang. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor, and when you exit, go through the doors in front of you and on the right. The room with the huge TV in it is the one we use for the service.
Spring Valley Shelter
Thursday, July 12, 6:00-8:00 pm
Once a month, a team from Living Hope helps staff the Child Enrichment program at Spring Valley Homeless Shelter (2001 N. Calumet Ave). While their parents are in classes of their own, this group engages kids in learning activities and games. If you’d like to help, let Pastor Rich know as soon as possible (email / phone), so you can get registered with their volunteer coordinator.
