The
Shepherd’s Center,
an interfaith volunteer corporation, held its annual Buttercup Tea on
May 24, 2006, at the Church of the Ascension on Rock Street. Seminarian
Denise Soares offered a reflection using the 23rd Psalm, the inspiration
for the name "Shepherd's Center." The purpose of the Center is to to
improve the image of aging and empower mid-life and older adults to use
their talents, skills and wisdom for the good of their peers, the
community and themselves.
Volunteers from the
Shepherd's Center provide friendly visiting to seniors as well as
accompanied trips to doctors offices, shopping and other trips. A
volunteer group provides instruction one day a week at Borden East in
making prayer shawls for Hospice patients. Other groups include Healthy
Bones, an exercise group, a low vision group, a fellowship group and
Lifetime Learning presentations during both fall and spring semesters.
For more information about the group, e-mail
Kathy Brennan or call the
Shepherd's Center office at 508-678-7575. |
