Hymn Stories – September 2024
Cecil Frances Alexander wrote the hymn, “All Things Bright and Beautiful” as a song for children to explain the phrases and truths of the Christian faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed. This series of hymns was published in 1848 in “Hymns for Little Children.” It became one of the most successful hymn-publishing projects in history, going through over one hundred editions.

Mother’s Day & Father’s Day Portraits
In May and June the apartments residents were invited to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day with special breakfasts. During the event we were able to capture portraits of many of the residents who attended. We’re delighted to make these portraits available to the residents and their families and friends. You can download the images and save them on your computer and/or have them printed.
Please note: there is a shop attached to the gallery site. You DO NOT have to order prints through this shop. If you chose to order this way please be aware the shipping prices are very high. We recommend you download the image and then send it to London Drugs or Walmart to have it printed. Unfortunately if we remove the shop it takes away the ability to download the images. We apologize for any confusion this causes.
