Residents from Lake View enjoyed their annual visit to St Paul’s Church on Wednesday for Holy Communion, with the day offering spiritual comfort, friendship and a strong sense of community.
The outing began with a short bus journey to the church, where excitement was already building. Photos show residents smiling and settled together on the minibus, ready for the visit. As always, there was a warm welcome waiting at St Paul’s, where residents were pleased to see Pastor Kim.
During the service, residents joined in with hymns, readings and prayers, before taking part in Holy Communion. Images from the day capture residents seated together in church, standing to sing, and sharing meaningful moments with Pastor Kim. One photo also shows a resident enjoying a cheerful selfie with a carer, reflecting the warmth and enjoyment of the day.
After the service, everyone spent time socialising and connecting with members of the wider community over a delicious selection of homemade soups and sweet crumbles. Photos show residents chatting around the table, enjoying their refreshments and making the most of the opportunity to spend time together.
The day clearly meant a great deal to those who attended. Ruth summed it up beautifully, saying, “I’ve had the best day, thank you my love.” On the journey, Gemma reminded everyone to keep an eye out of the window, to which Jack replied, “I’m watching don’t you worry.”
A huge thank you to St Paul’s Church for such a lovely visit, which residents thoroughly enjoyed.
