WOMEN'S SPIRITUALITY GROUP ON ZOOM | |

Last Sunday, the Outreach Team gave two SpiritCare services at the Sequoias continuing care community in Portola Valley. The Memory Care service hymns were led by Ruth Ann Wrucke, accompanied by SpiritCare volunteer Dale Grace on the piano. Kathy Kennedy spoke about the Lord's Prayer.
The second service in Hanson Hall was broadcast throughout the Sequoias and Kathy spoke about Jesus at the Sea of Galilee, illustrating her talk with archaeological and scenic pictures. Ruth Ann sang, alongside SpiritCare volunteer Barbara Nelson, accompanied by Dale Grace. Carol Wentworth joined the team and Pam Kaufmann arranged the event. Thank you to all for bringing joy and spiritual support to residents of the Sequoias.
