There is a OHWC resident named Ms. K who really appreciates that we come every week to hold Sunday service. She keeps all the handouts and hymn bulletins. Every week, she loudly sings along with the hymns and mulls and marvels over the lyrics afterward. Ms. K usually stays in the main room until we leave after the service. She recognizes that we are giving up our time to be there with the residents.
One week, Ms. K was not at our service. The next week, she explained that the nurses hadn’t been able to help her get ready to come into the main room for the service. So the following week, Ms. K asked the nurses to help her get ready early so that she could make it to Sunday service. When our team saw her, she said, “I was so early to the service. I’ve been waiting for almost an hour. But that’s okay because then I can wait with expectation for the service!”
