Kathy Muth is bishop's new administrator

Kathy Muth (Mew-th) became Bishop Bolick’s part-time administrator on April 2. Connie Young, who previously held this position, plus was coordinator of the call process is now, by personal choice, part-time call process coordinator. For the past two months Jill Nelson has been temporarily assisting the bishop with administrative tasks.

Helping seniors age in place

Helping seniors find the support they need is Barbara Garwood’s mission. A professional geriatric care manager and the new Director of Community Services for Lutheran Services Carolinas, Garwood serves as an invaluable resource for those trying to figure out the senior care system for themselves or family members.

“It’s part of Lutheran Services’ efforts to work with people who want to remain at home, or age in place,” says Garwood, who was previously director of Trinity Living Center. “We want to help them stay at home for as long as they can.”

Never Too Old to Grow

May has been designated as Lutheran Services Carolinas senior services month of emphasis by the synod. This is a time to honor those who live and those who serve in LSC’s ministries, as well as to pay tribute to the older adults in your congregations.

A workout regimen that consists of bicycling for four miles, push-ups, and squats with 8-pound weights would be a challenge for most, but considering this is routine for 97-year-old Trinity Oaks resident Catherine Hall, it becomes astonishing.
