Even to our old age, I shall be the same, And even to your graying years, I shall bear you! I have done it, and I shall carry you; And I shall bear you, and I shall deliver you. --Isaiah 46:4
The nursing home ministry centers on Amherst Manor Retirement Community, though the ministry serves in several other nursing homes in the area during the week. The outreach purpose draws the nursing home residents, saved and unsaved, closer to Jesus. The ministry team builds and maintains genuine, personal friendships with the residents. When opportunities to witness unfold, first team members represent Christ and then Trinity. Team members listen to stories, problems, joys and frustrations, and reach out in prayer, to help the residents leave these concerns at the feet of Jesus. The ministry meets from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., the first three Tuesdays of each month.
For those interested in ministering to senior citizens, training and mentorship are available.
