On this episode of Aging Angst & Alleluias with Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly, we’re celebrating a landmark moment for Veranda Ministries—the official signing of new legislation by Bill Lee that expands their reach! This victory means more clients served and an additional day of respite care each week—real help, real hope, and real impact for families navigating dementia care. It’s a joyful, hard-earned win you won’t want to miss.

And the celebration keeps going! Join us Thursday, April 30, 2026, for a one-of-a-kind Derby Day fundraiser—complete with six spirited horse-walker “racers,” laughter, and community fun—all to support the life-changing work of The Veranda. It’s more than an event… It’s a “Standing Promotion” kind of day!

“Join us for Veranda Ministries Derby Day on Thursday, April 30th—where the “horses” may be walkers, but the fun is full speed ahead!

This one-of-a-kind event features decorated “racehorses” (yes, walkers!) and their spirited riders as they make their way around the track in a joyful, laughter-filled race you won’t want to miss. It’s creative, it’s heartwarming, and just the right amount of hilarious.

But more than anything, it’s meaningful. Every sponsorship directly supports The Veranda Ministries, an active day-care respite program that provides care, connection, and dignity for those living with dementia—while offering much-needed support for their caregivers.

You can be part of the excitement by sponsoring a horse and rider, cheering from the sidelines, and celebrating a community that truly makes a difference.

Come for the fun if you’re local.. Stay for the purpose. Because at Derby Day… every step counts.“

Here’s how to sponsor your favorite horse-walker 👉🏻 https://verandaministries.square.site/product/2026-veranda-derby-day/XEMCXZ2T3ROAMUFF4QRZROEK?cs=true&cst=custom

“Honoring the Project

In this powerful and joy-filled episode, we celebrate a significant milestone for respite care in Tennessee—new legislation that allows The Veranda to expand its reach, welcoming five additional clients into the day program and increasing care availability to 12 hours per week. This long-awaited breakthrough represents more than policy change—it’s answered prayer, faithful perseverance, and a tangible step forward for caregivers and families who so deeply need support.

We also share the moving story of Julia, a devoted benefactor whose belief in Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and her unwavering commitment to “honoring the project” helped carry the vision through seasons of uncertainty. Her generosity and faith remind us that behind every victory are people who quietly say “yes” to God’s prompting—and mean it.

Plus, a heartfelt glimpse into a recent "Dementia-Friendly"Good Friday service, where sacred moments met real-life ministry. Mary Anne recounts the honor of singing “The Goodness of God” alongside her dear friend Louise, who lives with Frontal Temporal Dementia—a moment filled with tenderness, memory, and the unmistakable presence of God.
