With the support of our Priests, Pastors and
Ministers within our area, Blue Water Rest Home
would like to invite members of our community, to a
'Community Forum', on Sun., Nov. 13 at St. Peter's
Lutheran Church in Zurich. The purpose of the
evening is to encourage volunteers to assist us in cre-
ating a 'Pastoral Team'. Because community resources
have improved so much over the past few years, resi-
dents who are admitted to a Long Term Care Facility
such as Blue Water Rest Home are likely to be more
acutely ill. Unfortunately, some residents do not expe-
rience the 'spiritual support' they deserve in their final
stages of life. Please join us in creating something very
special for the residents of Blue Water Rest Home.
Zurich stores are having an open house on Sun., Nov.
13 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Come out and do some
Christmas shopping.
