Question: What would you say your number one passion in life is now?
Answer: “We’re very active in Christ and with the church. I’m very much into the Bible. I do Bible Study about three times per week here at the village. I’d say that’s my number one passion…always has been. Right now, we’re on the book of Acts, which I’m excited about. We’ve passed over Acts for a while so I’m excited to learn about it. But in addition to Bible Study, one of the seminary professors from Covenant Seminary has been doing a series at our church on Sundays about the Old Testament, too. He brings along artifacts that have been recovered and it’s been really interesting getting deeper into it.” – Carol Gillam, resident Friendship Village Chesterfield

The above photo and text are part of a year-long project we call We Are Friendship Village. We are posting these photos and brief interviews to our website’s blog section every day as we talk with residents at Friendship Village Chesterfield and Friendship Village Sunset Hills. The idea is to give a short introduction to the residents who make up our wonderful senior living communities and give you a peek at something you might not know about them!
At this year’s end, we will publish A BOOK featuring all the great residents who participated. AND PARTICIPANTS GET A COPY OF THE BOOK! During this year, we will also be sharing these photos and stories on Facebook and other social media such as Instagram, so look for them and please follow the hashtag #WeAreFriendshipVillage to stay current with the project!
We think it’s a great chance to share a bit about who we are! Residents’ participation takes less than ten minutes, so it won’t take much time to be a part of it and we think everyone will enjoy getting to know their neighbors and friends a little bit better!
If interested in participating (or know someone else who might be), feel free to give us a call at (314) 270-7837 or email at nagysteve@fvstl.com or drop by the marketing suites in Sunset Hills or Chesterfield. We have 365 of these to do over the course of the year, so everyone is welcome!
We look forward to seeing you as we get to share insights about the senior living residents who are making our Friendship Village retirement communities so great!
Thanks again!
