Several years ago, our Deacons at
St. Mark Presbyterian realized there were a lot of members who took care of aging parents, ill children or handicapped spouses. We decided to have luncheons to give them an opportunity to get out of the house, socialize, trade information with others who knew exactly what the issues were.
Dale is the chief cook, ladling his delicious potato soup. Members of the committee "wait on" the care givers although it's often hard keeping them seated---they are so used to doing for others, it's hard for them to let others do for them.
Jean, Marie, Nina and Nancy are four other members of the committee who assist Dale in the kitchen.
Mike Beale entertained us with his music. . .
We had an opportunity to "talk amongst ourselves". . .
And talk with one of the pastors like Sean who suggested we start these luncheons. Thank Sean---the luncheons were a great idea!
