RESOURCE GUIDES

POAMN’s annual resource guide contains a wealth of program ideas and resources to support your older adult ministry. The 2025 guide is in production and will be available in early February.

Electronic versions of current and past guides are linked here for anyone to use. A complementary print copy of the latest guide is mailed to POAMN members each spring.
