Covenant Presbyterian Church: Rachel Jackson, Director of Christian EducationA Senior Adult Ministry, SAM, is relatively new to this congregation, but it has been very successful.They meet once a month for breakfast or lunch and fun.Not only do they have several members who come, but they have also been attracting non-members.Many of their aging adults are still very active in serving their church.For the home-centered members they offer a transcription of the sermon, have visitors come by, help arrange mobile meals, and sometimes deliver the flowers from the service to their home as a cheery surprise.Rachel believes that many aging adults just need to feel needed.Amen to that!
