Listen Later

There are so many ways that churches serve the needs of its congregation. Why is it so important that every church serve the older generation? In today's episode, I'll delve into that and give you some thoughts that you may never have considered. 

Highlights: 

  • What message it sends when you have (or don't have) a ministry serving the older generation
  • Valuing older adults is not just something the church should do because it’s the right or good thing to do. Valuing older adults is something the church should do because God wants us to and in the Bible even tells us to do.
  • Serving the older generation sends a message to everyone else
  • Invite the ministry/church leaders in your church to a virtual focus group with me on Jan 24th and 26th. Go to valueofwrinkles.com/faith2023 for more info or to register.
