The Patter September 25

COVID-19 Update
Good Samaritan Home is pleased to announce that all resident test results from the affected neighborhood, aside from the confirmed positive resident last week, have been returned as negative. The resident room quarantine has been lifted from the previously affected neighborhood, and all residents now continue to be quarantined to their individual neighborhoods. Staff will continue to be tested on a weekly basis, and we will keep you updated as we receive weekly results.
For any questions or concerns, please contact your loved one’s designated social service aide.
Thank you for your prayers, patience, and support during this time.

Weekly Inspiration

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill

Scripture & Prayer Request

Matthew 6:25-27, 34
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?…Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

THIS WEEK PRAY FOR:
Residents: Eastbrook Lane
Staff: Receptionists & Secretaries
