On May 9th, members of CLR rode to Dinsdale PCH to begin the 2015
Senior Home Ministry visits. What a blessing to enter a facility and see a
painting of our Lord Jesus Christ on the wall of the activity room where we
would minister. The Dinsdale Staff on hand were amazing and tended to all our
requests and busied themselves with set up and escorting Residents to the
gathering. CLR Vice President Helen Janzen had prepared song books for 2015 so
that Residents could join the CLR Worship Group not only in spirit but in voice
as well. President Bruce led the assembly in worship accompanied by the CLR
Singers with the Residents doing their part as back up singers.
A message entitled "So you want to go back to Egypt" was shared by
President Bruce referencing Numbers 14 as the main text. The message for 2015
is one of a loving challenge to Seniors to engage the 3C's - their Calling,
Commitment, and Courage, all of which come from the Lord and flow through the
Holy Spirit. The message also included a short story from Dr. Seuss which had
all the Residents smiling and laughing.
Although it was too chilly to venture outside, the Residents enjoyed viewing
our motorcycles through the large windows in the activity room. This made for
another hour of fellowship and sharing the company of the beautiful men
and women who make Dinsdale PCH their home. Thanks again to the Staff and the
Residents for making this a memorable experience for the Christian Light
Riders.
