The Committee
on Aging is devoted to fostering ways to encourage older adults to live out their lives with purpose, support those who
care for elders, and inform churches of ways to assist in these goals.
Accordingly,
we conduct or sponsor workshops, recognize exemplar programs and activities, celebrate longevity, affirm the committments
in long-term marriages, and provide the opportunity for spiritual renewal and physical refreshment. For a summary of our activities
of the past year, see our report to Diocesan Council. In summary these include:
- Annual Celebration of Longevity honoring those over the age of 90
- Renewal of marriage vows for couples married 50 years or more
- Annual Fall Camp for seniors at Shrine Mont
- A workshop on aging issues
- Articles in the diocesan paper
- The Biggar-Power Award
- Prepare materials for use by congregations during Older American’s Month
Please
use the links we have provided to explore details of the activities and how you can participate in them.
