The Resurrection Health Ministry Program held a luncheon on Tuesday, June 15th, 2021 for about 25 of our seniors who are fully Covid-19 vaccinated. At the conclusion of the luncheon, the seniors were given a decorated flower pot with a succulent plant. A healthy recipe for Split Pea Soup was also offered to the attendees, along with bags of green and/or yellow split peas. The event was a lot of fun and the seniors were truly happy to be among their fellow parishioners and friends again.
Special thanks to:
Craig Hill, Manager of Prattville Lowe’s for the pots, saucers, plants, soil and sealant paint for the pots.
Clif Weatherly of Walmart for the art supplies needed to decorate the pots and some food items for the meal.

Sr. Gilda Bell, Michelle Coe and Wanda Twitty organized the event, and prepared the food in compliance with the Nutrition Policy of the Health Ministry Program.
