The changes are intended to make the church more welcoming to congregants with cognitive decline, according to the church's minister, the Rev. Timothy O. Coston Jr. 'We're looking at the entire service being dementia-friendly,'
Coston said he also wants the service to inform. A pile of informational brochures with facts about Alzheimer's disease sits on a table by the entrance, and the pews have been furnished with hand-held fans that contain the message, 'Black Americans are about 2 times as likely as White Americans to have Alzheimer's and other dementias.'
