This month, for Music & Ministry at Meadowbrook, we enjoyed some folk song favorites brought to us by “Flower Power” (Beth, Bart, Patricia, and Nancy)! Those who came from Liberty Vineyard had a wonderful time with the beautiful residents as we spent time together and shared some donuts on a sizzling summer afternoon.

After our church worship service and potluck lunch, we packed supplies, prayed blessings, and penned encouragements for 50 students and leaders from our host church who are flying out to a Church Camp (Camporee) in Wyoming (with 75,000 other campers)! These care packages are a small way to offer our thanks, support, and love to our wonderful hosts!

JR delivered another five Welcome Baskets to the local apartment community we’ve been visiting regularly. Each new resident who receives one of these welcome baskets will find household supplies, baked goods, community information, a QR code for our church’s ENCOURAGING WORSHIP SONGS playlist, and a personal welcome note. May each one who receives one of these feel welcomed and loved in our neighborhood.

This month, for Music & Ministry at Meadowbrook, we enjoyed some Musical Memories with Karen & Michael (who had a great time doing this together)! Thank you, JR, for making it all happen this time (gathering people, before / in -between / after talks & prayers, preparing refreshments). And thank you to each one who came and enjoyed the music and one another (including residents and staff of this aged care / rehab facility and our Liberty Vineyard church family).

This month, for Music & Ministry at Meadowbrook, we enjoyed Bart’s Autumn Album, songs of origins, originals (by Bart Parker!), and Americana. Those who came from Liberty Vineyard had a wonderful time with the beautiful residents as we spent time together and shared some blueberries and cake on the last day of summer. Jeanne stitched a beautiful quilt that we presented to one precious resident!

We arrived early on Sunday morning to prepare for our church worship service and were delighted to discover this wonderful surprise prepared by our wonderful SDA host church in gratitude for the Care Packages for Camporee we had prepared for their youth and leaders back in July. Festive balloons, delicious treats, and heartfelt expressions of thanks on a gorgeous card brought so much joy to each of us! “How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1) Yes, it is!
