Local church members visit nursing homes

Bethel Church of the Brethren in Milford is one of the area churches which cooperates with other churches to make sure residents of local nursing homes have weekly church services. In addition to being scheduled to take Sunday afternoon services to Lakeland Loving Care in Milford, Bethel Church has a calling program to Timbercrest Nursing Home in North Manchester. Oscar Schhmucker, chairman of the Bethel Witness Commission, said the nursing home calling procedures are now being evaluated by the committee now that Rev. Verne Leininger is here as permanent pastor. “We are moving rapidly in this area,” said Schmucker, “because the quicker we can for'mulate a standard approach the more effective it will become. ’ ’ He added that his hope is that those who volunteer to call at Lakeland Loving Care will feel that they have the latitude to use their own special talents in presenting worship to the residents, whether it be music, dramatic presentation, scripture reading or leading in a time of meditation. In times past, the pastor would assign adult classes to a schedule for Sunday visitation. This has changed recently to involve volunteers, a method Schmucker feels is more well-received because motivation is improved. Duane Cook, activities director at the local nursing home, said he appreciates greatly the coopera, tion the area churches show in bringing worship to Lakeland’s residents. “We have 12 area churches calling regularly,” he stated. “Nine from around Milford and three from Syracuse. Father Hammond of St. Martin deporres in Syracuse comes every week to visit our Catholic residents and brings communion to them. Calvary United Methodist also comes often from Syracuse. They bring a Bible study program weekly and the ladies have organized a rhythm band, which our folks enjoy very much.” Cook said another dedicated person is Elsie Free of Milford Christian Church who conducts Sunday School every Sunday morning. Elders from her church bring communion after her class sessions.

GOD’S LOVE HAS IGNITED THE FLAMING BRILLIANCE OF AUTUMN

S' he Pleiades adorn the night When chilling winds prevail, and soon Bring frost descending from the height, Beneath the golden harvest moon. The leaves will turn from green to gold, With some arrayed in blazing red; A sign the year is growing old, For soon the trees begin tc> shed. They strip the branches dark and bare, And lay a carpet on the ground; Then pungent smoke will fill the air From bonfires burning all around. Your House of Worship teaches you God’s wondrous love is always here; It paints the scene a brilliant hue, This flaming autumn time of year. — Gloria Nowak

INSANITY OR ENLIGHTENMENT, WHICH? "The Jews arrested me in the Temple for preaching (the Gospel), and tried to kill me (Paul continued), but God protected me so that I am still alive today to tell these facts toeveryone, both great and small. I teach nothingexrept what the prophets and Moses saidthat the Messiah would suffer, and be the First to rise from the dead, to bring light to Jews and Gentiles alike." Suddenly Festus shouted, "Paul, you are insane. Your long studying has broken your mind!" But Paul replied, "I am not insane, Most Excellent Festus. I Speak Words of Sober truth And King Agrippa knows Ihpqp things. I speak frankly for I am sure these events are all familiar to him, for they were not done in a corner! King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? But I know you do—" Agrippa interrupted him. "With trivial proofs like these, you expect me to become a Christian?" And Paul replied, "Would to God that whether my arguments are trivial or strong, both you and everyone here in this audience might become the same as 1 am, except for these chains." Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others stood and left. As they talked it over afterwards they agreed, "This man hasn't done anything worthy of death or imprisonment." And Agrippa said to Festus, "He could be set free if he hadn't appealed to Caesar!" Acts 26:21-32
