The elderly in our Churches are many time forgotten about or overlooked. Here are some great ways to include them and reach out.
1. Assign 2 teenagers to one elderly person. The teens can visit them, read to them, and help them with small things like cleaning or grocery shopping. This would be a huge blessing and teach teens servanthood and compassion.
2. Have a Small Group for the 60 and over crew.
3. Have the Church provide services that the 60 and over crew will find helpful.
-Grocery Shopping
-Cleaning
-Companions
-Drivers to take them to stores, pharmacies, doctor appointments, etc
4. Include them in ministry. Just because theyre older doesnt mean they cant minister.
-Worship
-Media
-Serving
-Cleaning
-Outreach to Poor
-Working with Children
