Giving Tree 2023
You Are Invited to Connect with Residents at Madison Villa
Did you know that….
- Church of Redeemer (CoR) members are invited to spend time with the elder residents of Madison Villa (MV) for a variety of shared activities.
- Madison Villa is part of Episcopal Retirement Services and an affordable senior living option for independent seniors.
- Throughout the year MV residents and CoR volunteers plan events like Taco Talks, End of Summer BBQ, Christmas Caroling and more.
- My name is Lynne Zajac the CoR liaison between MV and Redeemer since May of this year. I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the MV residents to plan events, activities, and share time. I am thankful to our CoR Associate Rector for Mission, the Rev. Melanie Slane for making this connection for me.
- On September 15th of this year, 25 Madison Villa residents and several CoR members shared a BBQ lunch, yard games, and music. I was unable to attend due to an unexpected surgery; however, the MV residents signed a get-well card for me! I missed being with them for the BBQ but was so touched that by their thoughtfulness. This exemplifies the good things that happen when people spend time together in fellowship and take the opportunity to get acquainted.
- The next opportunity to get to know MV residents is the ERS Christmas Caroling event on December 13 Please see the newsletter for details.
- As in years past Church of the Redeemer will provide the Madison Villa Christmas Giving Tree. On or after December 3, look for the MV Christmas tree with 100 paper ornaments in the Narthex. Each paper ornament lists a gift item/s; in addition, empty paper gift bags will be located near the tree.
