In this week's worship we are thinking about the elderly members of our families and communities. Often they ahve spent much of their lives caring for their children and grandchildren or other members of their community. We will learn that it is so important that we do what we can to thank them for their service by being compassionate towards them and looking after them as they have looked after us.
It would be great to read in the comments of the different ways you already do or think you could show compassion for Grandparents or the elderly members of our community.

We had a chat about how we could help the elderly:
-Offering them company
- Help them to move around if needed

Above all, treat them with respect and kindness :)
