The Presbyterian Older Adult Ministries Network (POAMN), in collaboration with the Adult Lutherans Organized for Action (ALOA), are offering a package of two workshops. The first presentation will provide an overview of aging ministry and the role it plays in providing a congregational culture legacy of belonging and hope. Participants will come away from the workshop with an understanding of how best to cultivate generous listening and legacy planning by using storytelling and intergenerational relationship building for congregational members. The second presentation will incorporate specific models of older adult ministry from all over the United States as possibilities to be replicated in your own congregations. Participants will be working in groups and brainstorming on the models presented to develop ideas to take home and hopefully initiate.
For more information, contact Pat Baker.
