Who We Are?

The “Seasoned Saints Senior Adult Ministry has something for everyone…from exercise to fellowship to learning.

Purpose Statement of Seasoned Saints Senior Adult Ministry...

The Seasoned Saints Senior Adult Ministry of The Chapel has as its purpose to communicate and share God's love to those in the church family, and to those outside the church. The assumption behind The Seasoned Saints, it's groups, and the events sponsored by this ministry is that they exist for the purpose of serving, not being served; of giving not receiving.

In pursuit of this purpose the Seasoned Saints Senior Adult ministry emphasizes four ministry areas:

“Seasoned Saints” Senior Connection
The Senior Connection is a dynamic offering of the Seasoned Saints Senior Adult Ministry that meets monthly offering activities designed to help senior adults become acquainted with one another and enjoy a time of fellowship and fun with other believers. These fellowship opportunities include a variety of dinners, entertainment, trips, as well as other special events.

On Friday, August 13th the group will meet at 7:00pm at Parkview Field for a Tincaps Game!! Tickets are $9 and Ray & Betty Treen are your contact couple for this event. They can be reached by calling 486-7856.

Mount Rushmore Bus Trip – Senior Connection still has room for 10 more people of any age for their trip to MOUNT RUSHMORE, September 11–19. For more information, please call Ron Stoller at 422-8527 or 486-2524.

"Faithfully Fit" Seniors' Exercise Program
Julie Braun leads this active group on Wednesdays and Fridays in a no-impact exercise program that provides some aerobic activity, encourages flexibility, improves balance, strength, and range of motion. All workouts are set to Christian music. Class brochures can be found at the Information stations. Contact Julie Braun for details at #672-8278.

"Maintain Your Brain"
Our "Maintain Your Brain" group meets the first and fourth Wednesday of each month at 11:00am in room 90 where we gather to engage for a time of social interaction while playing various challenging board and card games. Research has proven that the brain needs exercise as well as the body. Please feel free to join us as your schedule allows for this time of fun and fellowship while we exercise our brains together!

“Maintain Your Brain” will meet Wednesday, August 4th and 25th, from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. in Room 90. No registration is required.
