Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Care Ministry Volunteer Potluck and for the delicious food you generously brought to share. It was a lively and joyful time together as volunteers visited, laughed, and enjoyed getting to know one another.
Following lunch, Nancy B. led a short interactive discussion around our theme, “Connecting with Others.” Around our tables we reflected on questions such as what helps us connect with someone, what can unintentionally send a message of not caring, and how we naturally bring faith into conversation. It was a meaningful reminder that simple connection is at the heart of every care ministry; whether sharing a meal, offering companionship, or giving someone a ride to an appointment.
Thank you to Nancy B. for leading this time, and to Louise V. and Lydia B. for helping organize and plan the gathering. And thank you to Margie W., who I can always count on to capture wonderful photos of the day!
