The wonderful folks at Zion Lutheran Church invited me to speak at their July Fellowship Breakfast! We had a meaningful conversation about “Good neighboring is a health intervention.” Participants shared personal stories highlighting tangible health improvements that came from simply having someone listen during a crisis. We discussed the improvements in quality of life and better health that result from belonging to a community.
The Zion Lutheran Church council approved hosting an event during our upcoming ‘Good Neighbor Weekend’, scheduled for September 26-28. On Sunday, September 28, at noon, Zion will open its doors to the entire neighborhood for a ‘Good Neighbor’ brunch. Food will be served, kids’ activities will be available, music will be played, and I will be there with books and resources for anyone interested in learning more about the benefits of good neighbors.
