Building a Meaningful Relationship through Dementia
Caring for a person who has dementia is a labor of devotion and patience. Because of the dementia, the person involved and your relationship will take on a new direction. Join us as we learn together and gain more insight into the intriguing world where the person with dementia exists and ways to successfully navigate this new journey. We will gain new perspectives on obstacles. We learn ways to enjoy loved ones on a deeper level. We will learn more about the affirmative response method of communication. We will also explore the power in words for personal worth and assurance that God still cares and they are loved. We will be working through the book by Laura Wayman, A Loving Approach to Dementia Care

Grief Share
After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues, and you might feel alone. We invite you to join a friendly caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life's most difficult experiences. In this 12-week class, we listen to others; we listen to each other; and we listen to God. Let us walk together through grief toward healing and hope for the future.
