Who Tells You "No?"
May 10, 2012

President Obama has announced that he is now in favor of gay marriage. His views have changed through the years as have the American public's views on the subject. More folks, according to some polls, are in favor of same sex marriage. I don't know if that is why President Obama changed his mind, evolved as he called it, or not but it is curious timing in an election year. In an interview with ABC, the president did say that his daughters, Malia and Sasha had an influence on his decision. With many of his daughter's friends having gay parents and their thinking that this was normal their acceptance influenced his acceptance.

Providence Hospice of Whitney needs YOU!

Have you been asking yourself how you might more fully serve your community? Providence Hospice of Whitney, which has recently replaced Hospice of the Heart, invites you to become a volunteer visitor for hospice patient(s) in their system, and Aggie Gladbach of W.B. Chapel is your contact with them, and she can facilitate getting you enrolled for volunteer training.

Hospice is designed to enhance life for the patient when the time remaining is limited. Providence Hospice offers its patients a collaborative system of palliative care for making the quality of life as comfortable and pain-free as possible. This collaborative care consists of several essential input roles. While the primary roles are those of the full-time caregiver (with whom the patient lives), nurses to take care of the medical needs, nursing assistants to perform personal care, and a chaplain to minister to the patient spiritually, it is the addition of a visiting friend that makes the picture of palliative care whole.

Visiting the patient gives the caregiver time to go out for lunch, keep doctor appointments, do the shopping, or even do other duties around the house while the volunteer visitor is there. To serve as a volunteer visitor, you do not need to have nursing skills. In fact, a volunteer cannot perform anything that requires a nurse.

As a new volunteer, you will receive training in which you will learn what can and cannot be done by the volunteer. On your first visit to a patient, Aggie will go with you and introduce you to the caregiver as well as the patient. As a volunteer, you will also be needed to help out in the Hospice office occasionally. Hospice cannot exist without its volunteers.

Providence Hospice of Whitney will offer training on the four Thursdays in June, June 7, 14, 21, & 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please call Aggie Gladbach at Providence 254-694-6009. She will sit down and visit with you to provide more detail on what being a volunteer for Hospice can do for you. Call today to learn what you can give to Hospice and to discover how your life will be enhanced as a volunteer.

Luncheon Honors Mothers
Posted May 17, 2012

On Saturday, May 12, the WBC Hospitality Committee honored mothers of the congregation and the White Bluff community with an event befitting the special nature of the occasion. The keynote address was presented by author and Chapel member Fran McGraw and her daughter Kathy. Their entertaining program was embelllished by Lynn Louthan at the keyboard, who presented a song both before and after Fran's presentation.

Spring decorations adorned the tables. A menu of tossed salad, a special chicken dish prepared with peaches, dark cherries and sweet and sour sauce, green beans almondine, rolls, and a dessert of crustless pie was topped with whipped cream and a fruit mixture.


Ginger Seurkamp, chair of the Hospitality Committee, was assisted in hosting the event by committee members Mary Parish, Tonia Chapman, Patty Turner, Linda Turner, Sharron Lively and Kay German.
