Religious Services Offered at Rolling Hills
Helping Our Residents Stay Active in Their Faith
Rolling Hills is fortunate to have a large group of clergy and lay people to minister to our residents through personal visits, church services, and Bible studies. Church services are offered both on-site at Rolling Hills and at off-site churches.
Worship Services and Bible Study Opportunities
Every second Friday of the month at 9:45, staff assist the residents to and from Sparta’s St. Patrick’s Church’s Catholic Mass and Communion services.
On the third Tuesday of each month, St. John’s Lutheran Church in Sparta offers a 10:30am service with Communion.
On the first Wednesday of each month at 1:45, Trinity Lutheran ELCA, offers a communion service.
All services are offed in the multipurpose room that is complete with an altar, pulpit, electric piano, and a sound system that aids in hearing for our residents along with large print songbooks.
Volunteers conduct Bible Study on Monday afternoons at 3:45. This Bible Study is an Ecumenical Bible study and is open to all of the residents to attend.
Remembering Loved Ones
Every quarter, during Bible study, staff recognize loved ones who have passed away. During the service, the names of the departed are read and staff share special memories. In addition to scripture and music during the service, the service leader shares words of comfort and inspiration for our residents.
“I enjoy seeing people get excited when they see me and my dog Keota. I enjoy brightening everyone’s day and the bonds and friendships we’ve grown. We are treated with the upmost kindness and respect, and are always greeted with cheerful staff. I am thanked each and every time I come to do pet therapy by all staff and many residents also say thanks. I always feel appreciated.”
