Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group (Tuesday evenings)
2024-10-01 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Memorial Road Church of Christ, 2221 E. Memorial Rd., Edmond, OK, 73013, United States
One in ten people over age 65 live with Alzheimer’s disease today and this number is on the rise. Of course, this includes members of our church family and our community. Most of us know multiple people affected by Alzheimer’s.

We offer two monthly in-person support group times for caregivers of a loved one with Alzheimer’s meeting in person at MRCC. Caregivers are welcome to attend both or either of these times:
The first Tuesday evening of the month, 6:30-8:00 in A119 (led by Dawn Hemphill and Mary Jo Jones)
The third Thursday of the month at 3:00-4:30 in A119 (led by Denise Hawkins).
Our groups are led by trained facilitators who each have been shaped by how this disease has impacted their families. As we meet in person, masks are welcome but not required.

HOPE - Hope Over Pain Everyday
2024-10-08 10:00 - 11:30
HOPE (Hope Over Pain Everyday) is a support group for women who struggle with chronic pain due to arthritis, auto-immune conditions, severe back pain, or other health issues. Its purpose is to provide encouragement, education, and hope for MRCC and community women facing daily pain challenges.
HOPE meets monthly on the second Tuesday from 10:00-11:30 AM in room A106.
This group is led by Gail Brookman, a trained facilitator who experiences chronic pain from multiple health conditions. We will use guided studies as well as host occasional guest speakers about resources that may be helpful.
While we will be sharing our pain struggles, our goal is for everyone to leave our support group meetings with a sense of HOPE. HOPE because we know God will take care of us and HOPE because we can connect with others who also experience chronic pain.
