Loving Her New Home

Judy moved into Mt. Lehman Home this past year and has very much enjoyed her new home where she fits right in with everyone. She  is very independent and enjoys puzzles, crafts, shopping and 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 "Parable of the Good Samaritan" is quite a familiar story, even with people who haven’t read the parable.

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!
