Older Adult Retreat
Older adults in the South Georgia Conference have an exciting opportunity for spiritual renewal, worship and education at the 2012 Older Adult Retreat.
Set for April 16-18 at Epworth By The Sea on St. Simons Island, the annual retreat has been a gathering place of older adults for many years. Worship and spiritual growth are the main focus of this retreat, and participants are able to totally immerse themselves in the atmosphere and become spiritually renewed.
With a theme of “Saints Alive,” the retreat will offer senior adults an opportunity to discover, develop, and fulfill their God-given purpose.
The retreat is not just designed for older adults, however. It is open to anyone who works with older adults, is interested in older adult ministries, is an older adult or plans on becoming an older adult. Included in the retreat are workshops designed for people who work with older adult ministries in the local church.
Highlights of the retreat include guest preacher Dr. Hal Brady, Bible study leader Rev. V.L. Daughtery, and song leaders Frank Lowery and Carl Tott. Bruce Goddard will provide special entertainment for the event.
This year participants will be helping with a missions project, Operation Gratitude, for troops.
