Cards for seniors in Goderich

GODERICH, Ont. – Berea-by-the-Water Lutheran Church is putting a focus on ministry to seniors in their community. The Ladies Group at Berea started making greeting cards to give to residents in local seniors’ homes. Last spring they contributed 100 cards to one home—enough for one per resident. There’s a welcoming spring/summer visual on the front of each card, and inside a caring Bible verse and a warm hello greeting from the ladies of Berea-by-the-Water Lutheran. The plan is to distribute one card per resident late each spring to each of the seniors’ homes in Goderich, as there are a few in town. The group is happy to report that the first distribution was welcomed.

The ladies at Berea-by-the-Water were pleased to host the LWMLC (Lutheran Women’s Missionary League – Canada) society gathering at the end of April. The roads were perfectly clean for those driving from the Dashwood area and they were able to create more handmade cards for future distribution to a seniors’ home in town. They also spent part of the time planning for upcoming events.
