Trinity Services at 2 Personal Care Homes:
Trinity volunteers put on a half hour service once a month at both the St. Norbert Personal Care home, and the Waverley/Rosewood retirement residence.
This month, we had about 30 residents attend in St. Norbert – that is a record number! A full house of about 50 attended at the Waverley.
We enjoy doing it and residents at both locations are very appreciative.
Our upcoming service at St. Norbert is on May 1, and at the Waverley/Rosewood on May 8. Services are at 10:30am.
The May services will be the last ones until fall, as we take off the months of June, July, and August.
Services include hymn singing, scripture readings, short poems/readings, prayers, a short message, and end with a blessing.
Our team consists of Debbie Spindler, Maryann Koop, Barbara Tallman, Val McKay, Joann Sauve, Roberta Irvine, Marguerite Zaworonok, Terry DeLong, and Nancy DeLong. (not everyone is available every month).
If you would like to join us before we break for the summer, please contact Nancy or Terry at 204-254-3450. Car-pooling can be arranged. Thank you.
