October was our church's month to serve through the Wrangell Ministerial Association's long-term care ministry. The Wrangell Ministerial Association's rotating ministry ensures our long-term care community receives consistent care and attention throughout the year, with each church taking a month to serve.
After worship each sabbath, we gathered for a wonderful potluck featuring warm, comforting soups and an array of delicious baked goods. The fellowship around the table was a gift, the simple joy of sharing a meal together. This time of connection strengthened us for the ministry ahead.
Our Adventurers group spent time creating heartfelt cards, at one of meetings we had this month. These weren't just cards—they were tangible expressions of love and reminders that our long-term care residents are valued members of our community. Church members had the privilege of distributing these cards during one of our visits.
The highlight of our outreach was singing together for the residents. Music has a remarkable way of lifting spirits and bridging generations, and we witnessed smiles and even sing-alongs as we shared familiar hymns and songs.
Yes, it was a long day. But as we reflected afterward, we kept returning to one simple question: How do we want others to treat us? This golden rule isn't just words—it's a call to action. When we invest time in visiting those who may feel isolated, we're living out the love we hope to receive, and our church family showed up with willing hearts to do just that.
