A note from Gina

We have been back to the Caregivers class ( 11'o'clock/ 315 first floor back) and it’s been good to come together with fellow believers who are going through similar situations.

A few books that Deborah Armstrong has recommended over the last few weeks are:

“Overcoming Hurts and Anger” by Dwight Carlson;

“Make Anger Your Outcome” by Neil Clark Warren and

“In the Likeness of God” by Philip Yancey and Dr. Brand.

This last book speaks about the wonder of our human bodies as God has made them.

Also, if you or anyone you know suffers from seasonal disorders and in need of more sun than the winter months often give, a good resource is “The Sun Box Company”. http://www.sunbox.com/

Topic and speaker for Oct 18 and 25

Today and next Sunday Rev. Joe Trombetta, who has ministered in a hospice program for 25

years and to a relative with Alzheimer’s, will teach the Caring for Caregivers class at 11:00 am at 315

S. 17th Street, 1Rear.

Upcoming speakers...

Dear friends,

I want to invite you to visit our Caring for Caregivers class that meets at 11:00 a.m on Sunday morning. This week Dr. Deborah Armstrong and a pastor friend from Allentown will teach about building spiritual and psychological resiliance while cargiving.

Then, for the next two weeks, Rev.Joe Trombetta, who has been in hospice ministry for 25 years, and who had a relative with Alzheimer's living in his home in recent years, will talk about ministering to elderly parents.

I'm also working on scheduling a doctor to talk about medical issues with elderly patients, and Bruce Gunther has promised to do class on the legal aspects of caregiving: power of attorney, wills, advance directives, estates, etc.

I understand that 11:00 a.m. is not the most convenient meeting time for many of you. Since we ran out of space at the 9:00 a.m. hour I really needed to schedule this class for the 11:00 am. hour.

Sincerely in Christ,

Cora
