While COVID has been a thorn in the side for awhile now, it HAS led to some innovations that are helping folks that are too busy to pop over to campus during the day or maybe live far away to have a meeting with Chaplain Dale 'face-to-face.'
Just choose a time on his calendar and set your appointment. Chaplain Dale encourages residents, family, staff, and the community to reach out on campus, or by phone, by email, or virtually. Select to choose time/date.
Dale is always available and welcomes your conversation.
If you'd like to become a spiritual volunteer, please email Chaplain Dale to talk about different options on campus.
There are opportunities to help with small groups and Bible studies, helping to lead a service project, volunteering to participate in a worship service, or just giving the gift of time and spending it with the residents.
They have so much to share and there are some that don't get visitors. God calls on us to care for 'the least of these.' Do you have a heart for older adults? Reach out!
While God's Word remains the same in the Bible, the delivery of the message to an older adult is different.
Their shared experiences and wisdom allow them to nod their heads with conviction when Chaplain Dale asks the congregation "if they've known troubles in their day."
If you know an older adult that would like to hear a message that is geared to them and their current life experiences, please share this link with them.

What Friends & Family Say
A very close friend of ours lives here now and we're so grateful this place exists. He's very well taken care of and loves being there. The staff is excellent and it's a good community. Clean and well kept. The surrounding campus is nice too, and it's in a decent neighborhood. We're very happy with it.
