The Key To Kingdom Connection

I was very impressed in reading a paper entitled Have we forgotten someone?, written by Cadet (now captain) Nancy Braye, who recently graduated from the College For Officer Training in Winnipeg, Canada. The newly commissioned officer writes about the issues facing the elderly and how the church should meet their needs in terms of worship.

In her conclusion, Nancy writes...
"the senior adult, in many times, is being forgotten in our expression of worship. We are a culture that is focusing on our future and on our younger generation. However, knowing and understanding the psychological and spiritual aspects of aging can help us as worship leaders to engage an older generation. “God has purposes for all his creation. His promises are not limited by age. One does not retire from belonging to Him”.

Hallelujah! "Kingdom Connection" is surely about engaging people of all ages ~ for all are important. Our (aged care) Chapel mission statement is both generic and specific.
