The Senior Adult Ministry began in 1996 and has grown into one of the largest ministries at Parkside.We have many activities, trips, and other events throughout the year.

To learn more about the Senior Adult Activities, go to the Pacestters page under Ministries.

Projects: A committee plans projects to raise money for senior adult programs and events not covered in the church's budget.

Visitation: The Visitation Committee makes regular visits to those in hospitals, nursing homes, and homebound Parkside members. Sunday School curriculum, an Open Windows booklet, and a Mature Living magazine are delivered to all Sunday School members who are in the nursing homes or homebound. Bud vases, made from each Sunday's altar flowers, are delivered to the shut-ins weekly.

Benevolence: Members in nursing homes and homebound members are remembered with visits and special treats on holidays. Members receive visits and flowers on their 90th birthday.

Membership: The Membership Committee contacts and invites those ages 50 and above to join the Pacesetters Senior Adult Ministry.

Bibles for Babies: This ministry visits new parents in the church family and delivers a Bible story book for the newborn.

Throughout the year, many trips are planned for the Pacesetters by the Excursion Committee. The committee identifies places the group would like to visit, and then determines the cost, dates, time, and mode of transportation needed to complete the trip and makes the reservation. Either the Parkside People Movers or chartered buses are taken on trips. Sign-up sheets for trips are available at the monthly meetings.

The last Friday night of every month is Game Night. Pacesetters bring their favorite snacks and games and enjoy an evening of fellowship and fun.
