An Introduction to Senior Adult Ministry
Many would say that our country is aging rapidly -- actually we all age one day a time.  Persons today enjoy longevity, with increasing life expectancy.  How does the church engage seniors as part of the overall ministry.  God still has a mission before each senior.  Senior adults are a blessing to the church and to the world.  Explore how seniors can be actively engaged as part of the overall ministry.

Resources for Older Adult Mnistry
You are encouraged to explore the links to see what fits the needs in your ministry setting:
 
Great Expectations (A monthly electronic newsletter on expanding ministry to, with, and for senior adults.)
 
The Association of Lutheran Older Adults is an inter-Lutheran national movement affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and recognized as a social ministry organization of the Lutheran Church— Missouri Synod.
 
Engaging the Aging is a newsletter targeted toward pastors and older adult ministry in their congregations -- published quarterly by Lutheran Senior Services.
 
Church Resources serves the church by helping congregations and individuals understand the implications for Mass Aging. For the last decade we have offered a Case Study research tool called the Senior Ministry Inventory that helps congregations understand the unique needs and gifts of people over the age of 50.
