From Exeter to Skyline

(Thanks to Jen Wroblewski for composing this post.)

For over three years, we have used our fourth Sunday ministry time to visit and sing old familiar hymns with the Health Care Unit residents of Exeter House. Hymns like Amazing Grace, In the Garden, and Old Rugged Cross break through to these older adults, often flooding them with memories of younger years and rekindling their faith. Visits afterwards usually include a parade of our kids, hugs or shoulder pats, and talking some about our lives.

Recently, the Generation to Generation Community Group followed these precious folks to their brand new space at Skyline at 9th and Cherry, just a few blocks away but miles higher in elegance and light. The common area is light filled with action packed views of birds flying in and out of the downtown buildings and people walking on sidewalks below.

If you've been wondering whether to join us the last Sunday of the month to minister and be ministered to, get the lead out and meet us in the lobby of Skyline at 9th and Cherry. You can't beat the view of the city or the faces of residents and Union folks singing hymns to our Creator.
