Snowbound Week At Nursing Home Sparks Arts and Services
Snow halted volunteer church groups and drivers, causing staffing shortages in laundry, kitchen, and nursing areas. Residents watched two films, A Trip to Arkansas and Let's Lead the Parade, then church services were led by Pastor Otto Bassler and Pastor Thomas Laufer. An altar gifted by St. John’s Men’s Group was installed in the chapel, funded by local groups, with brass candlesticks and a cross, and Wagner Furniture supplied platform carpeting.
