What a wonderfully busy and joy-filled Christmas week we’ve had at Ecumen St. Benedict's Community! 🎄✨

Our Mission Committee celebrated our incredible team for living out our mission, with a cozy hot chocolate bar and cookies. We were also blessed by beautiful seasonal performances from our very own resident-led chimes group and the Friends in Harmony—filling our community with the sights and sounds of the season.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our Giving Tree at Benedict Homes. Our residents had so much fun opening their gifts and were thrilled with items like puzzles, lotions, candies, slippers, pajama pants, and more. Your generosity truly brightened their day!

In the spirit of giving, our staff once again adopted families through Lutheran Social Services, reminding us all that giving to others is one of the greatest joys of the season.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this Christmas so special. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
