Woodstock, IL – Grace Lutheran Church, located at 1300 Kishwaukee Valley Road, will host
the Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter for a special education program, Understanding
Alzheimer’s and Dementia, on Sunday, February 23, 2025, from 10:15 to 11:15 AM.
This event is open to the public and offers an opportunity to learn more about Alzheimer’s
disease, dementia, and free care and support resources available to families impacted by these
conditions.
In addition to attending the program, churches and faith-based organizations are encouraged to
support Alzheimer’s awareness through the “Go Purple for ALZ” initiative. Suggested activities
include hosting an Alzheimer’s education class, devoting a sermon or Bible study to topics of faith, aging, and dementia, providing informational materials for members, encouraging members to wear purple to show support, and organizing a prayer circle for those affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.
