New Opportunities
Bible Stories & Activities for Grandparents to Share
Generation to Generation is the first offering in a new Elder Care Ministries program.
This series provides a fun and meaningful way to engage in religious education in a home setting. The series is designed to help grandparents share Bible stories and activities with their grandchildren—or other adults engage with the children in their lives—either virtually (FaceTime, Skype, etc.) or in-person.
Each story focuses on a family in the Old Testament and includes related activities. The “lessons” are designed to be easy to prepare and share.
Congregations are welcome to use the series as part of their Christian education programs.

Elder Care Ministries Sponsors Red Cross Training
Is anyone in your congregation trained to respond to a first aid, breathing, or cardiac emergency when you are gathered for worship, meetings, or other purposes? Even if your congregation currently gathers virtually, preparing now to respond to emergencies in the future is important.
Elder Care Ministries is sponsoring Red Cross first aid, CPR, and AED training free of cost to members/friends of congregations in our region.
The blended course includes an online portion that features award-winning simulation learning and an instructor-led classroom skill session. Upon successful completion of both portions of the training, participants will receive Red Cross certification that will be valid for two years.
Amanda Ogilvie, the region’s director of camping and a Red Cross-certified first aid/CPR/AED instructor, will lead the skill sessions. Each skill session will be limited to four participants in order to ensure necessary physical distancing. Participants will be required to wear masks.
If a congregation has three to four people interested in the training, a skill session can be arranged at the church’s facility.
If you are interested in participating in this training and/or would like additional information, please contact eldercare@abcori.org or (401) 522-9731.
