May’s Meeting of the Breast Cancer Support Group was Joyful

  • PublishedMay 15, 2025


Sulphur Springs, Texas – The Hopkins County Breast Cancer Support Group, sponsored by the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation, held their monthly meeting on Monday, May 12. Jalayne Minter presented the program with help from her friend, Stephanie Cohen.

 

Jalayne presented a devotional on joy. The presentation was followed by a fun and joyful activity, which was cookie decorating. Stephanie taught the women how to outline and flood cookies and how to do a wet-on-wet technique. Cookies were cut in summer-themed shapes of palm trees, ice cream cones, suns, and flowers.

 

The women enjoyed learning a new skill and were reminded to have some fun along the way.

 

Carolyn McKinney provided snacks and cold drinks for the meeting.

 

The Breast Cancer Support Group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm on the CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs campus. Anyone with breast cancer or a female-related cancer, or a survivor of breast cancer or a female-related cancer, is welcome to join the group.
