Active Adults

Pilgrim Church has always had meaningful ministries for its various age groups. Upon my arrival two years ago (can you believe it) much of what I heard sounded like this, “We need a Youth Minister!” That need has been addressed with the addition of Michelle Wilkey who leads our Youth among other responsibilities. We are now uncovering another much neglected group at Pilgrim. I am sensing a need for a new ministry at Pilgrim Church. Maybe I should call it a return to a former ministry. As the Church is “graying” with an ever older membership, it is time to focus our ministry on the group that gives the most (in many ways) and asks for the least. This group is our Senior Citizens (sometimes called Active Adults). Over the past couple of months we have developed a template for a monthly gathering of “Active Adults” to be encouraged and enriched in several ways: S Spirituality E Enrichment N Nutrition I Intergenerational O Outreach R Recreational Watch for exciting information to come in the next two months about this programming for Active Adults. The group will meet monthly for meals, bus trips, speakers and programs. If you have questions or input, please stop me in the hall or come in to see me and help this exciting ministry get off to a great start. There are no definitions of SENIOR or ADULT being used. You will decide if you want to participate without the help of birth certificates.
