Fun & Fellowship AREA WOMEN BRING BELOVED CHURCH ACTIVITY TO VICTORIAN VILLAGE For decades, the women of Palos Heights Christian Reformed Church (CRC) have gathered at their church to enjoy time together at Fun & Fellowship, a weekly activity with games, refreshments, and plenty of laughs. Once a month, that get-together moves to Victorian Village, where the ladies there join in on this beloved tradition.
“We started coming here when some of our members moved here, and we wanted to continue that fellowship with them,” Ann Vis, Palos CRC member and one of the coordinators of Fun & Fellowship at Victorian Village. The group stays for two hours, playing a variety of games, and they always bring refreshments. Some of the Victorian Village ladies who come to the activity are
members of Palos CRC, but many are not—they’re simply looking for fun and fellowship! “It’s a nice outlet for us,” Ann says. “We enjoy getting together, playing cards, and this lets us meet even more people. This is something that is a blessing to us.” Ann adds that many women who have been widowed find purpose in the opportunity to visit residents at Victorian Village.
She says that she loves seeing the gratitude from residents each time they visit. “Everyone is so happy,” she says. “We get such a nice welcome for coming, you would think we were some big stars or something.” To the residents at Victorian Village, this group is full of big stars and bright lights who bring happiness to the community, and we thank them.
