Christian Compassion for Care Communities

Support Our Pastors
COVID-19 Support, Worship Services & Activities for Older Adults in the San Francisco Bay Area ​

COVID-19 Response

We are dealing with a crisis. We are very grateful to the many volunteers who have come forward to create cards, donate craft supplies, make wheelchair blankets and contact lonely older adults. Some of the care communities we visit monthly in normal times have weathered the COVID-19 pandemic and, having been infected, are now COVID-free. Others are still caring for those with SARS-CoV-2, and fending off the virus. This has stressed carers. Our pastors have had to minister to the bereaved, the sick and the worried.

Focus

SpiritCare Ministry to Seniors provides programs for the frail elderly in three ways:
  • pastors and volunteers visit care homes monthly, providing worship services and spiritual support to people of all faiths
  • individuals or families visit seniors, making hand-made quilts, taking a friendly pet or chatting one-on-one
  • groups visit seniors in residential care facilities, offering entertainment and activities

Testimonials

"Thank you so much for the weekly meditations. Our residents look forward to them every week." Activity Director, Sunrise Belmont, thanking Rev Sue Ann Yarbrough.

" Rev. Sue Ann has been wonderful, sending her weekly prayers and our Residents are enjoying them." Kathleen Sullivan, Activities Director, San Carlos Elms.

“I enjoyed saying my poem in front of the group of seniors, and playing the piano for them. The residential community was so beautifully decorated and a nice place to visit.” An 8-year-old volunteer.

“Interacting with the Seniors gives me so much joy. I can see the glow of happiness in their eyes as they start talking to me. I see they need somebody to talk with and to listen to their stories. Being here today is very fulfilling.”

“I met some amazing women! This experience is such a blessing! It really is more blessed to give than to receive!”

“Just loving the elders I visited today was a special experience. They shared their concerns and they were so appreciative of hearing about happy family and community activities than the negative news on the TV.”
