Young @ Heart Seniors Ministry
This past September, 2018, James Willcox and Donald Sebesta, both recently retired, came together with our rector to establish a St. David's senior's ministry called Young@Heart .
Our purpose is to provide a forum for seniors to come together for Christian fellowship, spiritual enrichment, entertainment and learning.
We meet monthly on the first Thursday of each month in McAllister Hall between 11:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m., for lunch and a program; and all members and friends of the parish, 60 and better, are invited to join us.
An appetizer/social is provided each month by our own pastry chef- in- residence, followed by a delicious luncheon meal is catered be Heavenly Gourmet Caterers.
We are happy to report that for our first fall/spring season (2018-19) we averaged between 40 and 45 attendees at each meeting, with a total of 81 individuals joining us at least once. This coming September, 2019, we will begin our second year with our first fall season meeting on Thursday, Sept..5.; and we invite all seniors to join us.
Our programs through December 2019 are as follows:
September: Jordan Smith, financial adviser/speaker. will help navigate us
through the complexities of the Medicare system.
October: Dr. Ben Carlisle will speak on his experience in living in
England with his family during his wife's sabbatical.
November: (retired) Bishop Joel Martinez and wife, Raquel, will lead us
in a celebration of worship and song in the Hispanic church;
assisted by the St. D singers and players.
December: Rev. Mary Margaret Mueller (retired) will speak on the
traditions and spiritual practices in preparation for the Advent
Season; plus a visit by St. Nicholas.
