Nursing Home Visit

Two Sundays ago the youth spend UMYF making Spring/Easter door hangers to take to the nursing home in Eupora.  We hope the residents living in the nursing home will see these and know that we care for and love them dearly.  We look forward to visiting with them again in the near future! 




The youth had a great visit at the nursing home last Sunday.  Each door is now decorated with a colorful, springy door hanger! 



One or two of our youth will be making monthly visits throughout this year to change out the calendars in each room at the nursing home.  We are excited about being able to visit them more often and show each person how much we care and desire to serve them as Christ's followers!
