Focusing on reaching out to older adults
By John Ferguson
 On Saturday, senior adult leaders were given the opportunity to learn more about the Upward Bound Seniors ministry, an interdenominational community senior adult ministry founded in April 1999 that provides a balanced program of fellowship, evangelism, spiritual development, and service in Greater Kansas City. Each month, more than two hundred seniors gather on the first Wednesday to worship through a program designed to edify and exhort seniors from all faith walks.
The workshop on Saturday morning, led by John and Nancy Ferguson, senior adult ministers at Woods Chapel Church of God, Lee’s Summit, Missouri, gave attendees ideas on how to initiate a religious senior adult program to reach older adults in their own communities. The workshop will be repeated on Tuesday morning at 10:30 in Decker 231.
Last evening, seniors and senior adult leaders experienced a presentation of an Upward Bound Seniors program in the Church of God Ministries banquet hall from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. Rev. Ann Brandon gave the devotion, Scott Matthews accompanied the group singing, and the Renner Family provided a program of special musical. The service project for the evening was an offering taken for Children of Promise. Skits provided the lighter moments for the group. A delicious catered meal ended the program.
