3 Ways to Honor Seniors

1. Partner with organizations already serving the older adults in your community.

  • United Way
  • Health Department
  • County Social Services or Community Services Department
  • Council on Aging
  • American Red Cross

 

2. Offer classes of interest, depending on your location and culture, inviting them to your church.

  • Computer skills (how to use Internet, Facebook, Skype, etc.)
  • Dance (ballroom dancing, line dancing, etc.)
  • Exercise
  • Cooking

 

3. Adopt a local nursing home or assisted living facility and bring Christ’s joy to them.

  • Volunteers can lead regular church services in a large meeting room.
  • Sunday school children can perform regular concerts or skits.
  • Youth groups can play board or card games with residents.
  • Maintain the grounds and landscaping.
  • Help decorate the facility for the holidays.

The Moment of Exposure

On Judgment Day, I won’t hide. I won’t run. Not because I’m innocent, but because I’m forgiven. Jesus paid it all.
