Worshipping with Dementia
Whether in a church setting, at home, or in a care home, many of us often don’t know how to best support our family and friends living with dementia. “Worshipping with Dementia” by Louise Morse is an excellent and accessible resource with a short Bible reading, commentary, hymn and prayer.
Psalm 92 tells us that older Christians continue to be fruitful and flourish; and of course they will often have much wisdom, having held on to their faith for many years. It’s worth thinking about what Church and indeed wider society would look like if we engaged with and took more time listening to our older folk. #faithinlaterlife

“The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green”. - Psalm 92 v 12- 14
