What do senior adults want?

As we move from a life filled with work, family and community commitments into a time of retirement and a less-structured schedule— we want the same things they have always wanted... the things everyone wants. To be useful. To help others. To learn. To have friends. To belong.

Senior Adult Ministries at St. Luke’s is dedicated to creating opportunities for fellowship through meaningful programs and activities for active members and friends 65 years old and older. 

Thursday with Friends offers a variety of programs and events for senior adults ranging from entertainment and learning to service and community building. Several activities are scheduled each month, usually on Thursdays, for church members and community friends.
