Recognition

Dear Church Members,

Wouldn’t you like to be part of a ministry that represents Jesus Christ to the people in nursing & assisted living homes? That is what we do as Golden Singers. We are not just somewhere to go on Tuesday mornings, we bring the message of Christ to those who probably are not able to go to their own churches anymore. We go visit 7 or 8 homes each fall & spring. You don’t have to have a good voice to be a part of Golden Singers - just be able to carry a tune. Also, you don’t have to be old! Recently, we were singing in a nursing home, & I noticed a lady sitting in her wheelchair with her head down, apparently asleep. We sang familiar hymns & well-known folk songs, but there was no response from her. However, the minute we started singing Jesus Loves Me, she lifted her head & sang along with us. When we finished she went back to sleep. That is why we do what we do - to re-connect these residents to Jesus Christ, even if for just one minute &/or maybe for the last time. Please pray about singing with us! We meet Tuesday mornings at 11:00am in the Social Hall. Our first practice will be on September the 6th! We hope you consider being part of our wonderful ministry by touching the lives of others through a joyful noise!

Because of Him,

Barbara Haigler
