The best is yet to come . . .
If you have ever worried about ending your final years in a home for the elderly – reserve a room now in a Church
Army Home. John Worsfold shows us the potential to be realised in later years if people are treated with the respect
they deserve.
The theme for the September 1998 edition is ‘Issues with the Elderly’ and the remaining articles
are written by older people. Their contributions show the wisdom and insight to be gained from many years of living
God-centred lives.
