On this episode of Following Jesus with Christ Church pastors Andrew & Addison talk with long time members Rick & Maggie Groggel. Rick came to Christ Church in 1978 and Maggie came in 1991. Both are involved in many different aspects of Christ Churches ministries and are beloved members and friends of our community.
The sandwich generation refers to middle-age adults who are caring for both elderly parents and their own children who are grown. While this is always a unique position to be in, add COVID-19 to the mixture and close geographic proximity and there are some unique challenges and joys that follow. Rick & Maggie have been navigating this life pre-COVID and are now working through the implications of what that is like.
UPDATE: On the show Maggie refereed to the blood drive having its "best month ever..." She intended to say "It was our best month of March ever, not our best month overall."
