Senior Adults: Young at Heart
"Growing older
is just mind over matter;
if you don't mind,
it doesn't matter!"
The "Young at Heart" Senior Program at Western Branch Baptist Church exists for the purpose of maximizing the potential of older adults in faithfulness and service to Jesus Christ.
There is no established age at which time a person becomes a senior. We recognize in all older adults:
- Wisdom to be respected (Job 12:12)
- Productivity to be valued (Psalm 92:12-14)
- Learning to be continued (Titus 2:2-3)
- Motivation to be encouraged (Philippians 3:12-14)
- Renewal to be nurtured (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
- Faith to be passed along (Psalm 145:3-4)
"Young at Heart" offers new challenges, opportunities and various activities in order to promote:
- Fellowship - building the cohesiveness of the church family
- Encouragement - reinforcing one's value to God and the church
- Friendship - helping develop positive, fulfilling relationships
- Compassion - providing physical care and support
- Outreach - sharing the love of Christ with everyone
The Senior Adult Committee assumes a major responsibility for planning and coordinating this very active senior adult group.
