On Friday, December 12, my Community Group had the honour of assisting Grace member, Terry McGuire, with a Christmas service for the residents of Leisureworld Care Centre (formerly Chelsea Park Nursing Home) in Streetsville. Terry is a regular visitor to the care centre and offers Bible studies and spiritual counsel to the people who call Leisureworld their home.
We had a wonderful time singing songs with the residents - aside from the silly antlers Terry made me wear ;0. Terry shared a short message on reconciliation with God (based on Hark, the Herald Angels Sing), and we even got the kids involved by having Jacob and Silas read portions of the Christmas story.
After the service was complete, we had a chance to mingle with the residents and wish them all a wonderful Christmas.
Here are some snapshots from the evening:
What’s funny is that after the first couple of songs, I forgot that I had them on. Now, looking at that last pic, it’s kind of humorous that I was singing “Glory In The Highest” with those dopey things on!

That sounds like so much fun. Love the antlers!
