Senior Adult Ministry
Senior Adult Mission Statement
To Establish and maintain ministry opportunities for and with Senior adults to involve them in fellowship, ministry, and missions through First Baptist Church of Pelham – a lifelong ministry.
EVENTS
Monthly Lunch
Second Tuesday of Each Month
We share ministry needs and develop strategies to involve our members in meeting those needs that we are able to do. We enjoy a covered dish meal, brought by our Seniors, and on special occasions, we have a prepared meal at a nominal cost. It is a special time of fellowship for our Seniors.
Cheergivers
Cheergivers, are separate but united in ministering to the homebound and shut-in. Most of the participants are out of our Senior Adults who give great care to those who cannot attend the regular services of FBCP. We want to make sure that no one is neglected in ministry.
Trips
Mission Trip
Each year we take a Mission Trip involving Seniors and others. This trip always needs and is open to all ages! For the past 20 plus years the trip has been to New Orleans working with Mission Lab at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. This partnership allows Seniors to have comfortable housing, meals in the seminary cafeteria among other mission groups and seminary students. New Orleans has multiple ongoing and urgent ministry needs. Each year is different but there is always plenty of essential work to do. Ministry on this trip includes working with local recovery/rehab ministries, a thrift store, nursing homes, senior adult living and care facilities, seminary facilities, and normally one or two physical construction type projects for individuals, families or ministries in the New Orleans vicinity. This trip has become an accepted staple among our activities and always provides real ministry and witnessing opportunities plus, sightseeing, rich fellowship, time to make lasting friendships plus exposure to and enjoyment of the New Orleans atmosphere, foods, and culture (global in scope).
