Judy
moved into Mt. Lehman Home this past year and has very much

working in the office shredding papers and organizing shelves.
Judy goes to work at MEI Elementary School Library every Tuesday
morning, attends a community day service twice a week and
participates in Special Olympics bowling every other Friday
evening. Judy is very social and loves to entertain family and
friends at her home.

The "Good Samaritan Rule"
The "Parable of the Good
Samaritan" is quite a familiar story, even with people
who haven’t read the parable. People generally understand
that the parable's central theme is to do good to their
neighbour, who is identified as someone in need. While this

Work, Work,
Work!
Oliver loves to work. In the 22 years that he has lived at
Bethesda’s Surrey Home he has been involved in many renovations
and maintenance projects. He also takes care of the gardens and
general yard work. In 2009, Oliver began volunteering at ELIM
Village, a retirement community in Surrey. Rain or shine, Oliver
sweeps up the entranceways of the buildings at ELIM. In the
spring of 2010, once the weather is nicer, Oliver plans to begin
other projects, such as helping clean up construction debris
around a new building that is being built on the grounds. After
Oliver is done with work, he likes to head to Tim Horton’s for a
coffee. Like most, Oliver’s favourite part of his job is a good
cup of coffee when he is done for the day!
"When we
do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in
our life, or in the life of another."
