SENIOR ADULTS

ABOUT

The Senior Adult Ministry at Highland is focused on encouraging mature people to continue fervently serving the Lord. They know that God is not finished with them, so they seek Him and share Him with others. Senior adults are a strategic part of the Body of Christ. Their wisdom and faithfulness inspire and motivate other generations of worshippers. Many seniors are intentionally making disciples, are involved in prayer groups, and serve in numerous capacities. Highland loves our Senior Adults and their love for Jesus!

Naomi Fellowship
Our Naomi Fellowship is a monthly dinner program for our widows and widowers. The meals are catered and free as a gift to the Naomis. We also use these evenings as fundraisers for missions. The programs are inspirational, fun, and usually musical. We meet together monthly from May through December. We meet in the Fellowship Hall from 5-6:30pm. Reservations can be made with Mary Ramos at (956) 206-3285 or by emailing Janet Ross.
Our upcoming Naomi Fellowship will meet on Sept. 15. The very accomplished Sheila Wilson will bless us with renditions of hymns and worship music on the piano.
On Oct. 20, we will pack Operation Christmas Child boxes.
Contact Janet Ross for more information.
We are always in need of people who would like to serve on our senior adult ministry team. Contact Janet Rossfor more information.
Nursing Home Ministries
We lead a monthly hymn-sing and devotions for Stoney Brook of Hewitt - Memory Care. Another ministry with music and Bible teaching takes place at Woodland Springs twice a month. We meet at Waco Healthcare twice a month on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, and we go once a month to visit residents. We provide a service for Asher Point the last Sunday each month at 10am. We lead Bible Studies at Stilwell Independent Living, Regent care, and The Highlands, also. Carol Haines leads a devotional service for Residences of Ridgewood twice a month. If you are interested in any of these areas of ministry, contact Janet Ross.
Highland currently has 20 people in Senior Care Homes. If you would like to visit and pray with residents, that would be a blessing to them! Contact Janet for a list of residents.
Meal Ministry Team
When one of our Senior Adults is ill, has had surgery, or transitioned to Heaven, the Adult Bible Fellowships (ABFs) and Community Groups (CGs) usually provide meals. If the person was not in an ABF or CG, the request for food goes to the Meal Ministry Team for a meal train or a meal following a funeral. If you would like to cook or bake for those in need, contact Janet Ross.
Helps Team
We have a Helps Team made up of people who are willing to drive others to the doctor, rehab, or stores. We also have people willing to do repairs or yard work. If you need help or are willing to offer your services to those in need, call Patti Blake at the church office or email Patti Blake.
Patti Blake keeps a list of who can do a variety of jobs for our seniors - odd jobs, repairs, household or yard chores. If you are willing to help, please give Patti your name and what you can do. Call her at the office at 254-754-0335.

WATCH & PRAY

Watch & Pray is an intercessory prayer gathering that meets on Wednesdays at 4-5pm. We pray for Highland concerns, Waco, the USA, Israel, missions, the persecuted church, and other nations. Our desire is to be part of what God is doing - and we do that best through prayer. Join us in the Wellness Center Den as we agree together for God's will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. All ages are welcome.
