Valentines from Gol

My two ladies' groups from Gol met together last week and did their Bible studies jointly at Gunderson Gardens, the assisted living facility in Kenyon. It was great to have a few ladies who live there join us for study and fellowship.





The ladies had ordered Valentine flowers for the members of Gol who can no longer make it to worship or other church activities. So when we finished our study, I got to help deliver flowers and cookies to the folks who live at Gunderson Gardens and the adjacent long-term care facility.





There were wedding pictures hanging on the walls all over, depicting both the residents' weddings and their children's weddings, from what I could tell. I got to speak with a man who will celebrate his 60th anniversary with his wife this year.





It's a good time of year to do something like this. January and February can be long and dreary. The folks of Dale and Holden recently mentioned that they're thinking of shifting their Advent Festival to this time of year, when folks don't have as much going on and may be lonely after the holidays. Anyway, it was a delight to spread some cheer and good will!
