During this month the Health and Wellness Ministry will strive to shed
a little light on this disease and recognize caregivers who provide
compassionate care for persons living with Alzheimer’s and other
forms of dementia. Each Sunday a question/answer will be in your bulletin, and literature distribution is coming soon.
How does Alzheimer’s affect the brain?
The brain has 100 billion nerve cells (neurons). Each nerve cell connects to many others to form communication networks, and each
nerve cell grouping is involved in special jobs such as thinking, learning
and memory. Others help you to see, hear, smell, and tell your muscles when to move. Brain cells act like tiny factories. Keeping everything running requires lots of coordination. Scientists believe Alzheimer’s disease prevents parts of a cell’s factory from running well. They
aren’t sure where the trouble starts. But like a real factory, backups
and breakdowns in one system causes problems in other areas. As
damage spreads, cells lose their ability to do their jobs. To learn more
about Alzheimer’s affect on the brain, go to www.alz.org/brain. Next
week learn what emerging research says about brain health and reducing risks for Alzheimer’s disease.
If you are providing care for someone living with Alzheimer’s, you may
get information and support from your local Alzheimer’s Association at
804-967-2580 or go to http://www.alz.org/care/overview.asp.
Remember the work you do is important, but you also need to take
care of you. Your physical and emotional health matters too!

The Call to Worship
Leader: Do not be afraid for God is near.
People: Whom shall we fear?
Leader: Do not be afraid, salvation is at hand.
People: What is there to dread?
Leader: Come and be sanctified in the Lord.
All: In Christ, we find comfort and hope.
The Invocation (In Unison)
Holy God, Caretaker of your people, we come to you with
questions for which there seem to be no answers. We come to you
with doubts that will not go away. Ease our troubled minds, that
we may proclaim your truth with confidence. Unburden our
hearts, that we may offer our love freely to all those
we meet. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
