I’ve made minor updates to this week’s nondenominational worship service on creativity. Why are creativity and imagination important parts of our existence?

As always, the service is suitable for older adults with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Watch the 44-minute worship service on creativity here.

And here’s the written agenda for the church service on creativity.

I encourage you to plan time after the service for a dementia-friendly artistic activity, such as watercolors or collage. I’m inspired every day by these beautiful paintings on my office wall; they were created by past memory-care residents at Balfour Cherrywood several years ago, thanks to a Memories in the Making program.

Peace be with you,
