 Team Eden will be traveling to Trinity Lutheran Church in Fremont, Nebraska on July 26th and 27th to attend the North Central Regional Comfort Dog Conference. All teams from our tree state region will be in attendance, (Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska). The main emphasis for the meeting will be to give handlers a review of correct dog handling practices and improvement of their skills. In addition, all attendees will be taking a course on Spiritual First Aid training. The purpose of the training is to teach us how to better listen, interact and respond to an individuals needs that we may come in contact with during our visits. Nearly 90 attendees will be taking the course to improve their interaction skills.
Eden and her team have made fifteen facility visits along with one private home visit in the past month. It is truly amazing to see the smiles and relationships that have been established in our community with our team. In His Service, Warren and Mary Next meeting: Tuesday, August 13th, 7 pm  Eden and her team have continued to keep a very busy schedule offering comfort and being a presence for all of God’s people. On May 28th and 29th Comfort Dogs Eden, Joanna, and Michael were called to St. John’s Lutheran in Victory, Iowa for the funeral of a 13-year-old boy, Nolan Bayer, who died as a result of an ATV accident. His immediate family and friends were very appreciative of all our attendance.
Team Eden also attended the VBS, SCUBA, this past week held at Peace. Eden brought her calming character and demeanor for many of the younger children. Eden and three other Comfort Dogs were also present on June 13th at a day camp for foster children in central Nebraska. It is truly amazing to watch these canines interact with these youth on a one-on-one situation. Regular monthly visits were also completed at Prairie Village, Brookestone Acres, Heritage House, Real Life, Emerald Care, and the Columbus Community Hospital. As a result our team was able to share smiles and God’s peace with dozens of people in our community. In His Service, Warren and Mary Hellbusch |
