The O in the SENIORS+ model of ministry is for Outreach. Outreach by individuals and churches to Older Adults and outreach by Older Adults to others is central to making the second half of life vibrant for Older Adults. There is so much wisdom and experience and so many skills and talents that Older Adults have. To share all of this with others can be extremely fulfilling for the Older Adults receiving the love, but also for those sharing these skills and talents.
Whether you have spent your professional or hobby life in areas ranging from financial planning to gardening to model railroading or you are a foodie or are a skilled handyman (or woman) or have any of an endless list of talents you are equipped to join in outreach. If you can make phone calls, write letters, read, or pray, your time and talents can be transformed into gifts to others.
What talents are you ready to share? How can you join in Outreach to Older Adults in your community? Please comment here. Connect with Winter Grace Senior Ministries. We would like to be connected with you.
