Caregivers and the Faith Community: Make the Connection
While caring for her aging parents, Nancy's faith was tested in many ways. In her book, "Dancing With Lewy," Nancy talks about how God provided for them financially, emotionally and spiritually. Nancy has developed a series of classes for faith communities that both encourages caregivers to trust God, and to identify ways to support the caregivers in their congregations. Optional topics include:
Trusting God as a caregiver.
How to prepare to be an effective caregiver.
As a congregation, develop sensitivity to struggling caregivers, and to fulfill Christ’s commandment of bearing each other’s burdens.
Identify practical ways a congregation can minister to those who need love and support as caregivers.
