About our work with Seniors

We first sensed the call to get involved with un-churched older people during one of our leadership meetings as far back as Autumn 2002 and since that time, and with the church's support, have been trying out various ways of providing for the spiritual needs of those who are older. We have a monthly Silver Service with as many as 55 coming, some from our own fellowship. The oldest attender is 99. The Silver Seekers Group (Alpha type group - 5 week course - fortnightly) is provided when we have 6-8 people who are seeking to find out more about being a follower of Jesus.

A 'Songs of Praise' in June was part of the City wide Feast celebrations, and proved such a success that we had to have 2 days to fit in everyone who wanted to come.

Over the summer we have a Holiday at Home, this year 'The Good Old Days' when older folks from the community are invited as well as the various groups who meet on our premises. It is a fun packed day with armchair exercises, a quiz, a concert, some craft or painting and good food for body and soul. The older folks really enjoy being with others and having fun.

God has truly blessed our work with those who are older, and as a result, the church felt that there was a need for someone to champion the work with older people. Liz Stacey has taken on this role from June 2006.
