Karen Brewer is the Senior
Adult Ministries Director. She is employed 1/2 time.
We offer a variety of activities
and services for senior adults:
Fun
Fest
Fun Fest is held every 1st
Tuesday of the month and consists of three hours of fun, food and fellowship.
This is an opportunity for the seniors to gather and visit, play games,
have a short devotional and enjoy a covered dish meal with the church staff.
It is a wonderful time of sharing and allows the seniors and church staff
to spend time together.
SAM's
SAM's, a monthly Senior
Adult Ministry meeting, is held every 3rd Tuesday. We offer a variety
of informative and enjoyable activities such as book reviews, visits to
local attractions such as the new Art Museum, informational talks by special
speakers and occasional out of town trips. Each meeting concludes
with a Dutch Treat lunch at a local restaurant. We occasionally have
an overnight trip for this group.
Circuit
Singers
Usually on the second Tuesday of each month, we take the Cokesbury hymnal music
on the road to Nursing Homes and Retirement communities throughout the city and
ask the residents to sing along with us. Then we head to lunch to fellowship
together.
Bus
Ministry
Our Bus Ministry provides
transportation to any senior who is unable to drive. Transportation
is provided to all Senior Adult activities, as well as for Sunday School
and Worship.
Sunday
School
Sunday School classes are
available for men, women and couples.
Pumpkin
Patch
Our Pumpkin Patch is a favorite
activity of the Senior Adults. The youth and senior adults work together
to sell pumpkins to help with various church needs. The bus for the
Bus Ministry was purchased with a portion of these funds.
Piecemakers
The Vista Piecemakers meet
each Monday and Friday morning to quilt. Many seniors participate
in this endeavor. This group has quilted over 100 quilts and generally
has at least two quilts going at one time.
Home
Bound and Hospitalized
- Home bound and
hospitalized Seniors are visited at least once every two weeks, more if
necessary.
- They receive
communion in their homes monthly.
- The congregation is
invited to send cards to our homebound seniors during special times such as
Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter. Each person will receive 8-10 cards.
- Our audio tape
ministry provides a tape of the weekly worship services for each homebound
Senior who wishes to receive one.
Large Print Hymnals and
Hearing Devices
Large print hymnals and
hearing devices are available at all services.
Senior Adult Ministries
Council
The newly-formed Senior
Adult Ministries Council meets at least quarterly to determine how the
church can better meet the needs of our senior adult membership.
