Dear Friends,
What a joy to witness and share in the wonderful things you all are about as people of faith at work in the larger community.
This past week I attended the ground-breaking ceremony for a new cancer treatment building to be constructed next to the OBX Hospital's Radiology Center. Tess Judge co-chairs this enterprise and was a major part of the ceremony. She also serves as the new Board Chair of the hospital! Deborah Beddingfield donated two rooms at the new cancer center in memory of two beloved family members. Moreover, the building's name will be The Carol S.and Edward D Cowell, Jr. Cancer Center! What a wonderful way to acknowledge the generosity and compassion of these two incredible Saints of God, Carole and "Eddie," who have quietly brought goodness and light across the Outer Banks and beyond. I hope Ed (now in heaven) was pleased. I know Carol continues writing the next chapter.
We have groups working on ways to address gun violence, plans for summer Vacation Bible School in August, outdoor worship options and our other ongoing wonderful ministries. It is rich to see the breadth and depth of what goes on in our Lord's name through each of you. May our journeys continue to flourish.
Every blessing,
Rev. Cindy

Memory Care Moment
By Kaye White
at (252) 256-1375
obxkaye@earthlink.net
“Enhancing someone’s dignity improves their function.” Quote from an article in the University of Massachusetts Spring Magazine 2022. In the article research done by Cynthia Jacelon, PhD., RN, FAAN, professor and Executive Associate Dean at the Elaine Marie College of Nursing, states that it’s important for aging adults who still live at home to feel that their dignity is intact. In her research she found an actual correlation between this concept of dignity and actual mental, physical, and social function. More dignity equaled more physical performance.
