Embrace Ottawa: Caring for Seniors in Long-Term Care 🏥 After seeing the effects of COVID-19 on seniors, churches in Ottawa have been adopting nursing homes to provide consistent support, chapel services, and companionship for residents. With over 70 long-term care facilities in the city, the vision is for every church to take part in ensuring no senior is left isolated. Collaboration: The Key to Greater Impact Many smaller churches feel they lack resources, but when one or two members from each church come together, they can achieve far greater impact. This networked approach allows congregations to be part of something bigger than themselves. ➡️ Take the First Step: ✔️ Start by building relationships with pastors and leaders in your city. ✔️ Identify common goals and pray together. ✔️ Work together on practical outreach initiatives.
