J.O.Y. Ministry (Just Older Youth)  A Ministry To and Through Seniors

The J.O.Y. Ministry is open to all who are age 50 and above.  It provides opportunities for fellowship, recreation, ministry, and continuing education for senior adults.  Meetings are at 11:00 a.m. on the first Monday of each month, and include a program and a meal.  Special trips, banquets, and other events are planned from time to time.  Mission activities provide an expression of the Christian faith we practice.  J.O.Y. folks enjoy serving lunch to our neighbors once a quarter with Richmond Friends of the Homeless.  For more, contact Charlie Owens or Nathan Taylor.

Central Connection

Central Connection is a place to meet people at church for fun and fellowship.  This ministry is staffed by seniors, for seniors.  Meetings are held on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 10 a.m. in the fellowship hall.  The day starts with announcements and prayer, followed by a brief devotional presentation by one of our ministers or lay members.  Following the opening session, groups disperse for fellowship around games of bridge, dominoes, or bingo (no cash, just prizes).  Usually, lunch is brought in for a modest fee.  Join us and make a Central Connection!  For more, contact Rose Marie Cooper, Frank & Gloria Bammel, or Nathan Taylor. 

Centralaires 

The Centralaires choir provides an opportunity for musical expression in ministry for seniors.  They present music to neighborhood institutions, nearby churches and festivals that allow our seniors to share the love of God with neighbors near and far.  They rehearse in the fellowship hall weekly, on Mondays at 10:00 a.m.  For more, contact Nelson Taylor.
