Dementia Care Partner Support Group
3rd Wednesdays | 6:30-8:00 PM
This group now meets only via Zoom.
This support gathering is a way for individuals to maintain group connections while becoming more knowledgeable and skilled. A portion of each meeting will be devoted to a specific topic chosen in advance by the group, and a portion will be an open (yet guided) discussion.
Emotional + Spiritual Support During Illness and Hospitalization
Illness and hospitalization can be stressful life events. We would like to offer you both spiritual and emotional support during that time. If you will be going into the hospital, having surgery, coming home from the hospital, or are homebound, please contact Kimberly Rousseau, the Assistant to the Pastors, and we will plan for a Pastor or Visitation Care Team member to come and pray with you. For pre-surgery prayer, please let us know the check-in time, surgery time, and hospital name. Also, if you become aware of the death of someone who is part of Trinity, please let us know as soon as possible.
