Gathering
Enroll your loved one with early- or mid-stage stage memory loss in a safe and enjoyable environment.
The Gathering takes place on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Cost: $45 for each Gathering which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Participants enjoy a morning of activities with a nutritious lunch following. Later, they are involved in another series of stimulating activities and socializing.
The Gathering is staffed by dedicated volunteers who have been specially trained to understand the distinctive needs of persons experiencing memory loss.
Each Gathering accommodates 8-10 participants. Bethlehem and TRUST churches members receive priority. To include your loved one or get involved volunteering, contact Julie McChesney at 612.312.3366.
