share her pictures, stories, and memories of that

there: the blue footed booby, the frigate bird, the

marine iguanas and much more.

A retired kindergarten teacher, Bobbie currently

Goodie Bags for

Foster Parent Appreciation

Wednesday, May 21st

1:30 pm in the Cascade Room

The Department of Human Services depends on foster

parents to do the day-to-day parenting for these chil-

dren until they can either return safely to their own

homes or until an alternate permanent plan is found.

In Oregon alone, there are over 8000 children in fos-

ter care, so you can imagine how important foster par-

ents are in these children’s lives. The Department of

Human Services in Washington County is hosting a

Foster Parent Appreciation Event and has asked for

our help!

On Wednesday, May 21st, Cornell Estates will be

putting together goodie bags for the parents that at-

tend the Foster Parent Appreciation Event hosted by

the Washington County DHS. When the parents re-

ceive these goodie bags, they will find a personalized

note from one of our residents.

If you are interested in helping assemble the goodie

bags, meet in the Cascade Room at 1:30 p.m. on

Wednesday, May 21st.

National Day of Prayer

Thursday, May 1st

1:30 pm in the Party Room

The 63rd annual National Day of Prayer, May 1,

2014, will have profound significance for our

country.

The theme for 2014 is One Voice, United in

Prayer, emphasizing the need for individuals,

corporately and individually, to place their faith in

the unfailing character of their Creator, who is

sovereign over all governments, authorities, and

men.

The Scripture, Romans 15:6 “So that with one mind

and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ” will serve as a representation

of this year’s theme.

Cornell Estates’ residents are invited to join millions

of Americans on Thursday, May 1st, at 1:30 pm in

the Party Room to take part in the

intercession of prayer for America and its leadership.

Helvetia Church Pastor Bryan Austring and pianist

Dorthy Eby will join several of our residents to lead

us in prayer and worship.

If you would like to read a scripture during our Na-

tional Day of Prayer Service, please see Amanda

Bigus in Community Programs.
