Newport Patrolman Cody Foster and Communications Specialist Kiara Knight are here with Tucker Lee. Tucker's son Wyatt is 6 years old and battling leukemia. Cody and Kiara talk about how a Facebook post by Tucker asking for first responder badges sparked a conversation between the two at Newport PD and evolved into a statewide effort to organize a touch-a-truck event for (and in honor of) Wyatt. Tucker talks about the struggles their family have faced, how Wyatt loves first responders, how this event is a secret to Wyatt, the love and support DHMC, CHaD, David's House, Willie Para Christmas Program, and the local community have given, how awe inspiring it is for his family to have all the support, and how without the generosity of the local community, he doesn't know how his family would make it. The Touch A Truck event is Saturday April 12 from 2 - 4 PM behind Sugar River Bank, North Main Street in Newport, rain or shine.
Healthcare professionals across the United States, including at Dartmouth Health, experience incidents of bias regarding personal characteristics including race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. At times these comments may be well-meaning or not recognized as potentially hurtful or demeaning, but at other times they may be outright discriminatory. Addressing macroaggressions in healthcare requires a commitment to cultural humility, anti-racism, and anti-discrimination, as well as policies and practices that promote health equity and inclusivity for all. Dr. Kelly Kieffer, a general internist at DHMC and Vice-Chair for Education in the Department of Medicine, joins us today to talk about how to recognize and respond to bias.

Transcript: Hello, this is Pastor Don Willeman of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to a special-edition series of The Kingdom Perspective. Over the past several months of the COVID crisis you, the people of CRC, have rallied to serve those in need in the Upper Valley and beyond. Together, you have given record amounts to our benevolence fund and served to provide meals and supplies to front line workers. In today's Kingdom Perspective I'd like to share two more of the many thank you notes we've received for your generous sacrifice and service to our community. From a DHMC employee: “Just wanted to send a quick and personal thank you to the congregation for the very generous food gifts that were made to some of DHMC's departments. It was a very nice gesture and was appreciated by all who noticed it, not just those who partook of it. Thank you very much for your continued prayers during this trying time. We are seeing that God is still in charge of all, as a microscopic invisible thing shows that money, power, status, and ego are of no consequence to this evil thing. Only his mercy… Thank you again and may you all be safe!” ~DHMC employee Here's one from one of our local schools: “We at Hanover Street School are so appreciative of your very generous donation to our Friday Food Program. It has certainly been an interesting and uncertain time for everyone. In light of the COVID19 crisis and all the financial strain that has come with it, we are especially thankful for the thoughtful Upper Valley community. When we started this project last spring, we had no idea what a vital lifeline it would become for our 50-60 families who participate. We feel so blessed to be a part of such a caring community. Thank you again! Be well.” ~[Two Teachers at the Hanover Street School] Now, I will share more on the next Kingdom Perspective. In the meantime, keep up the good work! “When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.” ~ Titus 3:4-8 (NLT)

Transcript: Hello, this is Pastor Don Willeman of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to a special-edition series of The Kingdom Perspective. The past few weeks have presented our community with unprecedented challenges. Yet, in times of darkness the light shines all the more brightly. Therefore, I'd like to take today's program to express thanks and to celebrate the many ways that all of you are serving our community at this critical hour. So many of you have stepped up to volunteer by bringing a bit of relief to those whose life and work has been significantly disrupted and especially burdened. Here is a sampling of the things Christ Redeemer volunteers have been doing over the past two weeks: • Daily calls to read scripture and pray with many that are isolated. • Coffee and donuts taken to all our area schools for teachers that were mandated back to the classrooms in order to prepare for remote learning. • Notes of encouragement and prayers for our many medical professionals that are battling this outbreak on the frontlines. • Meals taken to two DHMC units that are working directly to respond to the COVID outbreak, including a 6:00am breakfast delivery for the night shift. • Many donations of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requested by DHMC. • Etc. Special thanks to Lauren Groves for helping to organize many of these service opportunities. If you would like to help or have some skill to offer, please contact Lauren at the email posted on this podcast transcript. Finally, I want to thank our many medical professionals and health care leaders that have been working around the clock. Thanks to and to your families for your selfless service to our community! Together, by the grace of God, we will come through this trial strengthened in our ability to serve God and our neighbor. Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. NOTE: If you wish to volunteer or know of needs in the community, please email lauren.groves@christredeemerchurch.org to be directed to a CRC point person. We also encourage you to continue to give regularly to support the work of the church. All the more in the face of growing needs in our community, we encourage you to give above and beyond your regular giving, by contributing to the church's Benevolence Fund. The Benevolence Fund is used in two main ways – 1) to help those with material needs within our church, and 2) to help those with need in the broader Upper Valley Community. For your convenience here are the links to giving online: Regular Giving to CRC The Benevolence Fund at CRC You may also give by mailing your gifts to Christ Redeemer Church, PO Box 5523, Hanover, NH 03755.
