EVERYTHING LISTED UNDER: Holidays

The leadership and activities teams go above and beyond to make the Christmas season special for residents at Rolla Presbyterian Manor. This year, the leadership team is taking the community “around the world” to celebrate the holidays. We’re also looking forward to a tree-decorating contest and holiday lights tours.

Most Rolla Presbyterian Manor residents consider thanksgiving a year-round practice rather than an activity reserved for a single day of the year. Daily prayer is a consistent reminder to praise God for his blessings, including loving families, good health, and the excellent care they receive at Presbyterian Manor.

In the more than 20 years Bernadette Royal and Theresa Wood have worked for Rolla Presbyterian Manor, they have both found a great deal to be thankful for, including their family and friends. They are particularly grateful for the way their coworkers pulled together to take care of residents — and each other — despite the challenges presented by COVID-19.

The year 2020 has been trying for us all, but Chaplain Allen Teal writes that we redirect our focus from the bad to the good as Christmas approaches.

Traditionally, May is the month to remember mom. Cards, notes, gifts, flowers and special meals are some of the ways that we honor our mothers. The Bible gives insight into why our moms are so special.
