"When Swing Was King" Swings into Spring!

The latest edition of "When Swing Was King" made its debut at Heritage Point
this afternoon and we're delighted to report it was another smash hit. Great music. Great photos. An interesting and fun commentary as we go along. And terrific residents and guests who love taking this "sentimental journey" back to the days of their youth.

Claire and I still do programs at 11 senior care facilities every month and we would love having friends join us for this uplifting, quality outreach. The schedule, by the way, can be found right here. We would also encourage friends of Vital Signs Ministries to pray for us and for the residents we serve in this way. Pray that all the equipment works, that residents come in good spirits and health, that we find opportunities for meaningful conversations, and, because we provide this ministry free of charge, that Vital Signs continues to receive enough financial assistance to keep the outreach going strong.

And speaking of needing prayers, "When Swing Was King" will be making an exciting road trip soon...all the way to San Antonio, Texas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! More details to come.
