March 28, 2006

Lubbock – The beautiful, new Brandes Chapel/Theatre at Wedgewood South Assisted Living in Lubbock was dedicated recently with more than 60 people attending the ceremony.

Spiritual care is important to the mission of Lutheran Social Services and its affiliated ministries. So, it was with great joy that the center opened the doors to a new place for spiritual care and community-building.

“I think the Brandes Chapel/Theatre will serve as a wonderful community resource,” said Christina Stephens, community manager of Wedgewood South. “It is a great, new and inviting facility to better serve our residents as well as the entire community.”

The chapel/theatre became possible with a lead gift of L. B. “Bud” and Georgia Brandes of Plainview. More than $50,000 was raised to make the Brandes Chapel/Theatre a reality for those served by Wedgewood.

The other major donors include the estate of Lloyd Billingsley, Larry and Mary Lee Franklin, Vida Hrbacek, Gene and Susan Lake, Spring Fling Donors, William and Nancy Benfer, Kevin and Olga Benz, Rev. Karl and Jeanette Heimer, Dr. Robert and Beverly Hildebrandt, Greg and Deb Hilton, David and Karen Kahle, Joyce Kuhl, Mark and Kim Minick, Jason and Allison Mull, William and Lois Rankin, Dr. Kurt and Laurie Senske, Rev. Leo and Rose Merle Symmank, the Rev. Mel and Gaile Swoyer and Werner Teggemann.
