Adult Ministry

Just a few Adult Ministry Ideas

Develop a buddy system – phone regularly and discuss current affairs, find out how the person is doing, etc. The buddy knows whom to contact in case of sickness or special needs.
Develop a support group for adults caring for their own parents.
Present a program on "Dealing With Stress" due to changes in our lives – death of a spouse, retirement, job loss, illness, move to a new community, etc.
Provide a bus tour during the holiday season to view lights and decorations. Eat supper together before or after the tour.
"Show and Tell" your hobbies or trips.
Set up a Senior Day Camp – include Bible study, crafts, fishing, golf, "how to" classes, hiking.
Begin a "walking club."
Set up a secret pal or pen pal program between senior adults and either high school youth or school age children.
Have a banquet at the end of the year.
Begin a kitchen band to perform on request.
Provide a health fair.
Establish a computer training class for senior citizens using donated or old computers.
Have senior citizens donate free car services to members who can’t afford to pay – oil changes, rotate tires, etc.
Pet walking while people are at work
Workshop on will and estate planning
Dealing with blindness.
AARP services
Have police speak on scams and safety issues specifically directed at senior adults.
