James 1:27 says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

It is a great tragedy when those who have served the body of Christ throughout their lives find themselves alone, forgotten or in distress in their golden years. One way Shawnee Alliance can serve our widows and widowers is to provide a worship service at Springview Manor in Lima. This is a chance to talk to and pray with those who have served God for years, but are no longer able to travel to a church worship service. A wide variety of gifts will be useful in this ministry. If God gifts you to be out in front leading others, or if you prefer to work behind scenes or just to sit and pray with others, there is a place for you! We meet at Springview Manor at 2:00pm on the first Thursday of each month.
