HELPING OTHERS

CREEK 55†

Cottonwood Creek’s Caregiver Support Circle is designed to provide information, resources, and strategies for those caring for adults with Alzheimer’s / Dementia.  Some of the topics covered by the Wellness Center for Older Adults will be senior support, aging well, and caregiving needs.  

Meetings will occur on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.

Special Needs Ministry is a Cottonwood Creek 55+ ministry, whose mission is to share love and support with families who have special needs. It is often a child whose needs impact the family in so many ways but could be an older child or sibling as well.

Key Focus is to be available for coffee support groups, fun times out, respite and more to be determined by the group.

Cottonwood Creek Church via Creek 55+ is partnering with the First United Method Church Allen by promoting the Legal Aid Clinic, an organization offering life-changing legal solutions to critical civil legal problems.

The Widows/Widower ministry aims to support the spiritual, emotional, social and physical needs of Widows and Widowers through gatherings, activities, speakers and events. Creek 55+ Senior Ministries such as Handyman Neighbors, Education, Activities and Outreach will assist to meet these needs.

Our Core Mission is to help you find purpose in this season of life.  We are launching a new Outreach Initiative to provide opportunities for you to serve, witness and care for seniors living in Allen and McKinney. Our overall goal is to provide support for senior residents and help them engage and celebrate their purpose in life. These senior communities would include Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, and Memory Care facilities.

By having our members serve within these facilities, we wish to build relationships, host Bible Studies, and engage in a variety of invigorating activities with the senior population. This will look different for Independent/Assisted Living compared to Skilled Nursing/Memory Care.

 Independent/Assisted Living  – Residents will be invited to participate in the Cottonwood and Creek 55+ Ministry activities support, and serving opportunities with the guidance from our members. For those that can’t participate at our campus, our goal is for our members to volunteer to serve and utilize their gifts within these facilities to provide companionship, build relationships, host Bible Studies, and engage in a variety of invigorating activities with the senior population. Facilities involved may include city senior centers, senior apartments, retirement centers, 55+ condos and apartments and assisted living environments.

Skilled Living/Memory Care– Facilities will need volunteers in the first phase to: serve and utilize their gifts to engage in one- on-one visits to develop relationships and assist with scheduled parties and celebrations. The second phase of our service to these residents would be: to host Bible Studies, participate in Bingo, exercise, music, art and other organized activities. Facilities may include skilled living/nursing homes and memory care facilities.
