CARE-GIVERS
"Respite & Renewal"


"Respite & Renewal" is a wonderful program designed to offer CareGivers support.

We all become a CareGiver at some time during our lives.    When we become a parent of an emotionally and/or physically disabled child; or we have elderly parents or relatives to care for; or we are involved in many bereavement or detention or other ministries that drain us even as we serve.   From time to time we need a "Respite" and we need to be "Renewed".

This group meets every other Sunday afternoon in Rooms 3 & 4 of the Parish Hall from 1:15 to 3:00 p.m.     Next gathering is January 16.     No dues!     No fees!     Just sharing and support and love.     

For more information, please contact Margaret Pontius Evenings Only at 818 - 706 - 1842.
