An Ecumenical Ministry in Partnership

with Interfaith CarePartners

 "The Lord is gracious and righteous, our God is full of compassion. 

The Lord protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need,
he saved me."        Psalm 116:5-6
 

 

The Gathering Place seeks to help both the caregiver and the care partner, providing respite for caregivers of those with Alzheimer's.  Twice monthly The Gathering Place provides the care partner a time of fun and fellowship through music, games, exercises, performances, and a luncheon. 
 
The Gathering Place is held from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. 
For information about volunteering or bringing your loved one, call Dayna Savage @ 936-449-4136.
