There
may be a time in our lives when we need some help. It can take a lot
of courage to reach out and ask. But if and when something happens to
you, the Care Council wants to set the gears in motion to provide
what assistance we can. In order to do that, we need your help.
Have
you ever had a medical procedure that required a driver to take you
home? These can be simple things like dental work requiring an
anesthetic, or a colonoscopy, glaucoma surgery or a number of other
common surgeries. I’m wondering if you ever returned home after a
crisis, or the death of a loved one, to stand alone in the kitchen
late at night with a bowl of cold cereal. What if you’re exhausted
from caregiving, or feeling frightened and alone after losing a job,
or perhaps the loss of a beloved pet who may be your best friend? How
about those times of joy, a marriage, a birth or adoption, or a
special birthday?
We
on the Care Council are asking for your help in providing
transportation once in a while, or to make a supportive a phone call;
perhaps a casserole, or a hearty bowl of soup for someone who could
use a comforting meal. The heartwarming joy of receiving a card or an
email that simply says, “I’m thinking about you because I care,”
is boundless and enduring.
Please
join us in our mission of caring for each other by contacting one of
the Congregational Care Council members, Anne Laukaitis, Nancy DeLux,
or Michelle Murphy. Sign-up sheets are also available on the back
counter.
Thank
you for being a part of our caring community!
