WORTHY

Eight men, residing in Maranatha Village’s full-care facility, enjoyed a special recognition day. Having served in various units of the United States military, they are deserving, worthy to receive:

  • HONOR for defending the freedom of their country,
  • APPRECIATION for preserving a democratic society,
  • LOVING CARE by a Christian community.

Maranatha Village salutes these men of valor!

GOOD LEADERS

Good leaders—quality people with proven leadership skills—serve on the Maranatha Village Board of Directors. The Board meets on a regular basis with the Maranatha Village CEO to listen, give guidance, and participate in decisions regarding the ministry of Maranatha Village.

Prayer characterizes the Board’s discussions, and decisions related to the care of over 400 residents on the Maranatha Village campus. Residents moving toward an eternal transition are grateful for good leadership.

SUKKOT CELEBRATION

Jacob’s Hope—the Messianic Jewish ministry of the Assemblies of God World Missions—joined the Independent Living residents and staff of Maranatha Village on September 28 to celebrate the Sukkot holiday. The Bible presents Sukkot as the Feast of Booths or the Feast of Tabernacles.

Jacob’s Hope ministry, directed by Brent and Bonnie Johnson, led the group in a time of teaching, prayer, rejoicing, food, and fellowship. Prior to the event, staff and volunteers—with the help of Lodge residents who created some fine artwork—decorated a small room at the Community Center in the likeness of a Sukkah booth.
