It was a privilege last week to work with talented artist Meryl Custers at Baptistcare's 40th anniversary celebration and commissioning service. Meryl drew as I spoke, providing a multi-sensory approach to communicating one of the stories of Jesus.
The Baptistcare press release about the event stated:
The evening honoured the commitment and the transformation that has occurred over the years in the lives of thousands of people and their families who have benefitted from Baptistcare’s services.
Baptistcare CEO Dr Lucy Morris said “the people who were in the Baptist Church 40 years ago displayed great wisdom and foresight as they planned and created an organisation that was designed initially to provide residential aged care for the people of WA. We have also seen the growth of services for elderly Australians in the community and more recently, Baptistcare has been providing services for people struggling with mental health illnesses and people living with disabilities and their families.
“The last 40 years are a reflection of the warm relationship that we hold with the Baptist Churches of WA which gave birth to this organisation, and a reflection of the commitment that we have to the partnership that is held with honour by Baptistcare and we wanted to give thanks for that relationship. We look forward to working with the Baptist Churches of WA into the future.”
