Quote of the week:
This is our calling as Christian faithful: to recognise the Christ in everyone.
And to reach out a hand of hope, to speak a word of love, to sing a song of happiness,
to share a tear of joy or pain, to speak a word of praise, to murmur a prayer,
to stand together against those forces that would divide us, isolate us, and block our flow towards home.

A new initiative started by Sally Magnusson - Playlist for life is hoping to set up locally.
Several churches are involved in a pilot program, and with 1 or 2 volunteers, we could join in.
It uses music to engage and involve those with dementia.
Training is provided and the commitment is possibly one evening a month.
See Gillean for info information
