Faith & Fellowship
This activity provides faith-based fellowship for individuals who are unable to attend community worship on a regular basis. It also provides socialization and emotional and spiritual stimulation. A familiarity with aspects of spirituality, spiritual health and religion, as well as knowledge of hymns and prayers, is helpful to facilitate this program.
