Seniors In Action
Seniors in action is a pastoral support ministry geared toward meeting pastoral needs of parishioners who are at least 60 years of age.
Our specific goals are:
- To provide activities and local events that are of interest to seniors.
- To assist pastoral callers by keeping in touch with other seniors.
- To provide transportation as needed for worship and ministry related activities.
How you can participate:
- Let it be known what kinds of activities you are interested in and what you can are able to do to make them happen.
- Call a friend and invite them to participate.
- Agree to share your ride.
- Come join us and share your wisdom and love (and have fun doing it)!
- Participate in event planning meetings.
Meeting are held as needed. Most will be held immediately after the 10:30 Eucharist. Anyone with suggestions and ideas for activities and how these can be carried out are welcome to attend.
Upcoming Events
The fall season for the Seniors in Action began Sept. 20, with an interesting trip to the Atlanta History Center. The monthly events for the rest of 2007 are:
- Thursday, Oct. 18 - Oakland Cemetery. Founded in 1850, and called City Cemetery, the property now covers 88 acres and contains the graves of many notable locals. There are sections containing the graves of Confederate soldiers, Jews (local and from Eastern Europe), and a "potters field". Oakland was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1976. The name Oakland comes from the many oak trees on the property. Meet at Holy Trinity at 12:30 on the 18th for carpooling. If we take a guided walking tour, it costs $3.00 per person for seniors. (In the unlikely event of rain, we will meet in the parish hall for a film.) If you need a ride from home, call Johnnie McPhail at 404-378-2801.
- Thursday, Nov. 15 - MLK Center
- Saturday, Dec. 8 - "Christmas with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra" concert, including three choruses (2:00 performance). Tickets for this must be purchased in advance (in November), so tell Johnnie if you are interested in attending.
The Seniors meet at 12:30 in the Holy Trinity parking lot for most activities. Look for monthly announcements in the Sunday bulletin (and posters) to learn details and cost, if applicable. If you need a ride from home or have questions, contact Johnnie McPhail, 404-378-2801 or mcphail@htparish.com. We like to have fun, but also want to keep the mind active! Come join us.
