The Senior Adult Ministry is designed to enhance fellowship and spiritual growth among our senior adults. Activities include trips, caring for those in need, helping the church staff, the Senior Adult Choir (Practice is held on Wednesdays at 4 PM.), and special programs. Every year the Senior Adult Ministry presents the Par-Bar Service Award to one or more Seniors who epitomize the spirit of service and ministry the entire program represents.
Young at Heart luncheons are held on the third Tuesday of each month (except August). Programs are planned by the Senior Adult Council.
The Senior Adult Council is made up of representatives of the older adult Sunday School classes and organizations, the minister to senior adults, and the senior adult coordinator. They serve several important functions:
* Coordinating activities of senior adult groups.
* Planning outings and recreation opportunities
for senior adults.
* Arranging for transportation to meetings.
* Publishing a newsletter, "Keepin' In Touch."
* Sharing information about meetings of interest.
* Sponsoring an annual Senior Adult Day.
*Being aware of the needs of our homebound
members.
*Fostering relationships with younger members
of UBC.
The Homebound Ministry focuses on persons confined to their private dwellings, retirement communities or nursing centers. This is a ministry of contact by personal visitation, phone call or writing.
