On April 1, 2023, we are co-hosting with the future Grace United Lutheran Episcopal Church a luncheon for several people who are homeless and live at the Catholic Action Center. See me! Hear me! Know me! directs the mission of this luncheon. I am sure it will be an inspirational gathering with the elderly from A Caring Place supporting the elderly baby boomers from the Catholic Action Center.
On April 15th, 2023, we are hosting a commemorative gathering for all who knew the Rev Sandy A Stone (died on Feb 4, 2022). Sandy was instrumental in initiating A Caring Place in 2018, and paying the fees necessary for us to be incorporated, and tax exempt. She participated in all of our many programs, and her zeal for life and support for others, was our driving force. She is missed. If you knew Sandy and would like to participate in this time of remembrance, please let us know and we will include you on the RSVP list. (info@a-caring-place.com). It is from 1-3 pm at 1870 Armstrong Mill Rd, Lexington, in the fellowship hall.
On April 22nd, we will hold our 3rd Annual Volunteer Recognition and Dinner.

Telephone Comfort Care and Home Visits It is amazing how friendships can be built by a telephone call. If you feel isolated, or long for someone to chat with, then you may benefit from a call to chat two or three times a week. People have bonded, and relationships maintained for years. So be a phone pal, see if this works for you. 
Read On!
We provide reading enjoyment to third graders by reading a book with them over the phone or by zoom. This engagement between young and old brings meaning into both lives. Testimonials indicate both child and reading buddy find this a satisfying and enjoying activity. Training is provided, if you would like to be a reading buddy! Death Cafe
Death Cafes are an open space for conversations about dying. Discussions can cover the gamut, but the topics come from the participants. Some will talk about losing loved ones or fear of dying, others may reflect on the ethics of euthanasia, beliefs about life after death, their hoped-for legacy, or how they wish to be remembered. The Death Cafe is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief-support or counseling session. We invite you to join us and give it a try. You may leave the Zoom meeting at any time. Here is the link to a recent discussion with a guest speaker. To register and obtain a zoom link, please email Don Rapske. |
