Letters from Assisted Senior Care Facilities

Recommendations from other Pastors

Both Senior Church services were started from the ground up. Our heart was since the residents could not get to the church,we brought a church to the residents.

The first one was Lexington Elderly Care in CHicago Ridge Illinois. My family and I started the service every Sunday afternoon. We sang songs and gave a short message for the people. Within one month attendance grew from 20 to 80-90 residents along with their families.  I turned the ministry over to a young man to take over because of my calling to be a Senior Pastor.This includes all faiths.

Harvester Place in Burr Ridge,Illinois is a memory care community. We hold services once a month to this day. The same format is to have the residents and their loved ones interact in a thirty minute church service for all . Our  mission is as the first one was that  the residents cannot get to the church ,so the church comes to the residents. 

My mother and father taught me to serve in the church and the public also.
