July 2020 – Door-to-Door Ice Cream Social

Life’s Garden Residents,

We look forward to the day when social distancing is only a memory and we can join together again in person. We continue to pray for your good health and patience during this challenging time in our world.

Every summer for the past 40 years, Friends for Life has hosted an Ice Cream Social at Life’s Garden. The coronavirus has required that we change our plans, but know you are not forgotten in our hearts and minds. Although we cannot gather as a group, we still want to brighten your day with some ice cream. We hope you enjoy every yummy bite!

Julie McAfee, Leadership Team President

April 2020 – Friends for Life Cheer Bag

Oh, how I wish we could host our spring Friends for Life event! The day will come again when we can gather together — and what a joyous time that will be. In the meantime, please know your Friends for Life family is thinking of you and praying for your wellbeing.

In lieu of the social event we had planned for you in May, we have put together this care package. We hope it will bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart, giving you encouragement during this period of social distancing.

I am praying for each of you. Praying for your health, both physical and mental. Praying for your patience during “shelter in place.” And praying you will hold fast to God’s love and peace in spite of the scary news and disruption to your normal routines. Be kind to yourself and be kind to your neighbor. We are all in this together.

With love, Julie McAfee
President of Friends for Life
