Worship with Us this Sunday

November 13, 2022 | 10:00am In-person and Facebook Live or replay on Facebook later


Our scripture passages are 2Thessalonians 3:6-13 and Isaiah 65:17-25. The prophet Isaiah tells us about God’s intentions of helping us to be fruitful, peaceful, joyful. The early church at Thessalonica is receiving reminders to stay focused on how they live out their faith. They are encouraged to respect tradition and be disciplined. They are invited to work hard and not get discouraged.

 

We will dedicate our financial pledges for 2023 and learn more about our Thanksgiving Offering for ECH – Every Child’s Hope

Our scripture passages will help us honor the past and chart a course for today and tomorrow – Ephesians 1:11-23 and Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Alzheimer’s News November 2022

Alzheimer’s and Dementia and Driving Safety


Safety First: Good drivers are alert, think clearly, and make good decisions. When a person with dementia is not able to do these things, he or she should stop driving. But, he or she may not want to stop driving or even think there is a problem.


As a caregiver, you may need to talk with the person about the need to stop driving. Do this in a caring way. Understand how unhappy the person may be to admit that he or she has reached this new stage. A person with some memory loss may be able to drive safely sometimes. But, her or she may not be able to react quickly when faced with a surprise on the road. Someone could get hurt or killed.


Signs that the person should stop driving include new dents and scratches on the car. You may also notice that the person takes l long time to do a simple errand and cannot explain why, which may indicate that her or she got lost. Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable letting the person drive a grandchild or other family member by themselves. If the answer is “no,” it may be time to talk with him or her about the need to stop driving.

Here are some ways to stop people with dementia from driving:


Try talking about your concerns with the person.


Take the person for cognitive testing, and let the doctor know about your concerns.


Take him or her to get a driving test.


Hide the car keys, move the car, or disconnect the battery.


If the person with dementia still won’t stop driving, ask your Sate Department of Motor Vehicles about a medical review.
