Nativity
Senior Adults

If you watch the "Antiques Roadshow" on TV, you soon learn that the older something is the more valuable it becomes. Don't we love it?  There is no exact age when a person becomes a "senior." Some say 55 or 60 and others, 62. We say if you visit our group and are blessed by your experience, you are welcome!  We plan all of our activities with five very important directives in mind. Here’s what we’re about:
  1. Fellowship - there are many ways to have fellowship, but our main purpose for fellowship is found in 1 John 1:7.
  2. Encouragement - All of us need to be encouraged. Seniors face many challenges as age creeps up on us (see Hebrews 10:25).
  3. Friendship - We are all about building relationships (see Proverbs 17:17).
  4. Compassion - We want to be people of compassion!
  5. Outreach - we believe our best days of making a difference are still ahead! Senior Adult Ministry offers opportunities to touch lives and make an impact for Christ.

Where do I begin?

Link
Come join us on Fridays at 1:00 PM. We meet in the Nativity Lounge for a time of board games and afternoon tea. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to fit in, because there are no strangers here, only friends we have not met.  Transport to and from Link can be arranged if you need it.
Mid-Week Prayer Book Service
At 10am on Thursday mornings in St Barnabas chapel (aka Barnies) we hold the mid-week prayer book service. This service is about 45 -50 minutes in duration and includes morning tea on the first Thursday of the month.
Senior Adult Luncheons
Nativity church runs two senior adult luncheons per year; one in mid-winter and a Christmas luncheon held in late November.
