Grand Matters:
Caring Well, Living Well

Sunday, October 25, after the service

 

Psalm 71:9
“Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength is spent.”

 

After the service on Sunday, October 25, Grand Matters welcomes Sylvie Nofiele for a practical conversation about the support available to older adults who wish to remain at home. Sylvie will explore a range of options, including companionship, respite care, personalized support, palliative care, and hospice care, helping us understand how different kinds of care can meet changing needs over time. There will be plenty of opportunity to listen, learn, and ask questions in a relaxed setting. Whether you are considering what the future may hold for yourself or supporting a family member or friend, come and learn more about the resources that can help people continue living at home with dignity, confidence, independence, and appropriate care.

JohnCON:

A Weekend of Table-Top Role-Playing

November 13-15

 

 

Ecclesiastes 9:7

“Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart.”

 

JohnCON runs November 13–15, bringing three days of tabletop gaming, and fellowship. Many attending will be experienced gamers, but there is one part of the weekend that may tempt even those who have never rolled a twenty-sided die. On Friday, November 13, JohnCON will include a medieval-style Tavern Feast, with hearty food, good company, and Craig from our choir appearing as a minstrel, complete with dulcimer. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the whole event, but if feasting in a medieval tavern sounds more your style than battling dragons, Friday evening may be just the place to start.
