Monday Evening, December 14
The Christmas caroling committee at church assigned Landis Homes to our Sunday school class. Because one of the ladies from our church lives in the same area as Cerwin’s mother, I called the nurses station and asked if some of the residents could be brought to a large area of the Personal Care unit. They willingly brought several of them.
Our class has some great singers, so we sounded good. Cerwin’s mother is second from the left (next to Inge – from TFC’s Inernational Office). Inge asked me a few days earlier if our church goes Christmas caroling. She had never gone caroling, and it was on her bucket list.
The four residents closest to the camera were the ones that I specifically asked the nurses to bring to this room. Harold & Lois Nissley, Myrtle Bomberger, and Myrtle White, as well as Cerwin’s mother – who is to the left of this picture. (Harold lives in a cottage and came on his own.)
Our last assignment was Brethren Village – another retirement community not far from Landis Homes. This was the entrance to Clara Rohrer’s apartment. I did not take any pictures there because the room was quite full.
Our last stop was Don Rohrer’s cottage.
He is on the far left.
Our song sheets.
Then we went back to the church to enjoy a snack – provided by the committee.
Brooke was along with her Grandpa Shenks and chose to eat under a table. Maybe she thought we were too old for her. 🙂
It was a great evening.
That is such a blessed thing to do and others in need are blessed.
I did need photos of cookies. Lol
Blessings

We were blessed for doing it.
My mother so appreciated all the groups of carolers that came through her assisted living home ~
We loved watching some of the ladies singing every word to the songs – but they no longer recognize their children.
