Challenge

Step 3 of the lesson “Live in Respect” is based on 2 Samuel 19:31-36. David demonstrated care for his 80-year-old friend. Read and discuss the verses, but also read and discuss the following article: Many 'reluctant to care for old'.

One way we can demonstrate care for the elderly is participate as a class in the Adopt a Nursing Home program. Read about participation of the Pilot Club of Longview, or the Dogwood Ladies of Jacksonville.

If your class does not want to accept the challenge of Adoption, how about simply setting a goal to visit a local nursing home as a class. My guess is that the visitors will be the ones most blessed! Brainstorm with members what activities to engage in with the elderly. What to talk about, or not?
