Seniors Ministry


There is a relatively high proportion of senior people in our congregation. Some are active in the church and are regularly seen in church services or other church activities, but a silent majority may not even been known to many church members. Especially those of the Elderly who are living in homes are often very lonely and feel forgotten. In addition they may suffer physically. It is those people that we try to minister to and give them a feeling that they are not forgotten but remain part of the greater church family.

We must remember that those who are in that situation were often very active in the church in their earlier years and we have a responsibility to care for them. We must also remember that we will sooner or later be in a similar position and will need the care that we give today to our elderly folks.

The work among the Elderly can only be done effectively with the help of God and it is with a sense of gratitude that we can call on a group of people who do these visitations on a regular basis. If you feel called to join in this work we would be grateful if you get into touch with us.

We praise God for having the opportunity to show to those in need some of the love we have received so abundantly.

Coffee Pot +

"Coffee Pot " is a meeting held for Seniors on the first Thursday morning of every month during school terms.

It is open to all with a wonderful tea, eats and time for a chat - all free of charge! A variety of entertainment and a short devotion is also provided at each meeting.

Some of our activities in 2010 have included:

 

  • Shirley Meintjies and Peter Jordaan giving a wonderful presentation of Ballroom Dancing such as the Waltz, Tango, Jive and Rumba;
  • Jenny Ward (actress and singer) with Joan at the piano presenting songs from 'The King and I' and community singing. The devotion was by Pastor BRIAN.
     
  • On another occasion we were delighted to listen to Dave Arnold, flautist and entertainer who sang some songs with his guitar and then with audience participation;
     
  • The Bessie Williams ladies choir is another favourite on our menu and we soon hope to have some dancers again this term;
     
  • and also local school choirs and orchestras, so do join us if you are able
     

We are blessed to have a faithful group of woman on our committee who organise the tea and the entertainment and many other wonderful folk who join us as hosts and hostesses at the tables on the day. It is a time of fellowship, caring and sharing where Jesus is Lord.
