Here’s Kerri’s service idea just as she submitted it:
Last year on a whim we took a jigsaw puzzle to a newly- widowed woman in our congregation. She was having some people stay with her for a few weeks due to her own medical issues, and we set the puzzle out and started it on a table in her side room. As ladies came to visit and stay with her, they would each put in a few pieces while they talked. Several of them commented how much they enjoyed the time working together on the puzzles and how easy it made for them to have quality conversations together. When the puzzle was completed, the new widow had so many great memories of her friends working together on the puzzle.
(I read this and thought it would also be fun to frame the puzzle when finished and let the sisters who worked on it sign the back and gift the framed puzzle back to the recuperating sister.)
So many great ideas. So little time!
