When my father, Vernon, was more ambulatory, I would pick him up at his digs in the Westover Retirement Community (just a few miles from my doorstep) and take him to church with me. However, these days that is nearly impossible, so he worships at home, in services conducted on site at Westover.
One afternoon a week, the activity room at Westover transforms into a warm and welcoming chapel, complete with stained glass and other accoutrements. The service is well planned and well attended, and Pops rarely misses.
I'm grateful for the thought and care given to this space and to the schedule by the good folks at Westover. It is not only my father's home these days, but his church as well.
