Our SAM ministry exists to provide opportunities for fellowship, growth in faith, and service to others who are 50 years and older.
We have a team of volunteers who meet once a month to plan events throughout the year.
Senior Adults
Fellowship
Luncheons
September through May on the second Monday of each month from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm, a potluck luncheon is offered in Fellowship Hall. Anyone is welcome to attend. A main dish is provided with guests bringing a dish to share. A speaker or entertainment is provided at each luncheon. Topics have included instrumental and vocal concerts, local businesses and organizations, special interest topics, travel series and more.
Outings
We offer 3-4 outings each year, sometimes more. They vary from a
performance at CMU to wine tours in Palisade, and always include a Christmas
Light tour each December. We try to find interesting and fun things to
do. Typically, we offer transportation through our bus or we carpool.
Hikes
The past several years we have hosted three hikes in early spring. These are
easy hikes which are a great way to get to know others and enjoy God’s creation.
Book Club
We have a Women’s Book Club that meets the second Monday of each month at 1:30
pm in the church. If you are interested in being a part of this group, please
call the church office to get connected with the facilitator.
