"But those who hope in the Lord will renew
their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; the will run
and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31
The Senior Adult ministry exists to provide Christ-centered activity
addressing the spiritual, educational and social needs of mature
adults. We use the name "Young at Heart" to identify events
for mature adults, including luncheon programs, day trips, classes
and forums on relevant subjects, service projects and our annual
weeklong trip.
Young at Heart Luncheons
Held the second Tuesday of each month, are primarily designed as
an outreach ministry of Washington Heights. They include special
speakers, music groups, and entertaining programs topped off with
tasty lunch.
Young at Heart Day Trips
These once/month opportunities are planned for seniors to extend
their fellowship with our community. It's always a popular activity.
Young at Heart Fall Trip
A weeklong trip to see and enjoy new and exciting parts of the
country. These trips are usually 4-5 nights and have included journeys
to New England in Autumn, Branson, MO, Colorado Springs, Lancaster
County, PA, among others.
A monthly publication designed to to keep our mature adults informed
on events of the YAH and other items of interest to mature adults.
The Young at Heart Blog has been created to provide additional photos and information that is of timely interest to our people. This electronic medium is used to supplement the Newsletter and add Internet Links that may be useful to our YAHers.
Personal Caring Ministry
Part of Washington Heights' responsibility to the local church
is to reach out to those who are unable to attend regularly scheduled
church programs due to physical health or limitations. Volunteer
caregivers from within the congregation reach out to these dear
saints each month and provide a source of encouragement to each
one.
