Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church
This week’s Old Testa-
ment lesson was about Samuel
being called while sleeping by
God. He had bad news about
the future of Samuel’s family.
When Samuel tells Eli the
news, he believes it and tells
Eli to relate it. The point is for
us to open our hearts to hear
what God is trying to tell us.
We must not hesitate.

You Want To Know About This...
Q: Is it true that Hospice is a place where you
go to die?
A: In some geographic areas, there is a
Hospice House licensed as such by the state
and Medicare. At present there is not a
Hospice House in Southern Oregon. Hospices
deliver care in the place where the patient lives,
whether that is a private home or a facility.
Hospice provides nursing, spiritual, and social
work services and support, but around-the-clock care is not provided.
Your area has resources which include in-home caregivers as well as
care facilities. State of Oregon Senior and Disability Services,
Medicare, your private insurance company, or Veteran’s Administration
may help answer your questions about resources. Your Hospice Social
Worker will be a good person to ask about community resources.
