Choirs Tackling Loneliness in Care Homes 🎶

A Church takes on loneliness and wins.

We talk of the epidemic of care homes but not often about what we can actually do about it.

This choir from Bolton's Ephrata Community Church has decided to take matters into their own hands and prescribed a monthly dose of hymns is exactly what the residents needed.

“When the choir started dancing, we saw residents standing up and joining in, the staff were amazed – these were residents who usually just sat in their bedrooms. The sense of joy was amazing.”

Dr. Kayonda Hubert Ngamaba, a psychologist, pastor, and refugee

The pastor had experienced this loneliness daily but trying to do anything about it is full of budget problems and red tape. A resident of the care home said she was missing the choir…

So the pastor took the choir to her.

In times of loneliness, it's heartwarming to see the power of music and fellowship bringing joy to those who need it most. The Ephrata Community Church choir is a shining example of how we, as believers, can spread God's love and comfort through simple acts of kindness and outreach.

Let us continue to support and uplift one another in times of need, remembering that our faith and connection to God can help overcome life's challenges.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!

Psalm 100:1-2

Pope Francis Involved in Secret Peace Mission ✌️

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Matthew 5:9

While the specific details are not yet public, the Pope recently announced his involvement in a peace mission to end the ongoing conflict

In a recent visit to Hungary, he discussed the situation in Ukraine with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Metropolitan Hilarion, a representative of the Russian Orthodox Church in Budapest.

The Pope has consistently expressed his desire for peace and willingness to mediate between Kyiv and Moscow since the invasion of Ukraine in February.

Unfortunately, nothing had happened so far.

But the Pope remained committed to his mission of peace. Wanting to visit Kyiv and Moscow in pursuit of peace but has declined to give further details at the moment.

"I think that peace is always made by opening channels. You can never achieve peace through closure. ... This is not easy."

Pope Francis

Let us continue to pray for Pope Francis and his tireless efforts to bring peace and healing to our world. May God guide and strengthen him on this mission.
