Dementia, Who Are You and What Have You done with My Mother? by Sarah Jones In a professional sphere, I’ve spent time with hundreds of clients living with dementia. I’ve seen grief and uncertainty on the faces of their loved ones; I’ve seen gentle patience and agonising impatience; I’ve used all my desperate skills to peek through the layers of clients’ minds to find them, even briefly. I have held hands and sung songs. I have stage-acted my way through strange scenarios.

It starts and ends with hearty applause; it’s everyone’s favourite hour of Synod. Mission Hour never fails to lift everyone’s eyes above the issues of our own city and focus on the goodness of God on display around the world. It’s a space dedicated to hearing from gospel partners and praying and praising together for all that God is doing.
