For those living with dementia, Sunday morning services may become too stressful, but here in the Memory Café, people can remain tied to the community of the church in a way that is safe, engaging, and fun!
Memory Café provides people an opportunity to socialize with others-engaging their minds and enjoying time in community within an environment that doesn’t condescend. Dementia is never mentioned at Memory Café. This is a place where all can be comfortable and be themselves without worrying about embarrassment or misunderstandings. Volunteers, guests, friends and family members, all participate equally with no one singled out.
Upcoming Events
Memory Café will resume in-person meetings!
Thursday, September 9 from 10:00 to 11:30 am
Bruce Plante, nationally syndicated, award-winning editorial cartoonist. will be joining us to talk about informing the public with cartooning and comedy.

We hope everyone is staying healthy and continuing to find ways to make a difference for others. If you have an immediate need, please email us!
