Seniors Ministry at Bethel Mennonite Church 
Description & Purpose:
We are a group of mature Christians whose purpose is to meet together, enjoy fellowship and encourage one another in the Lord Jesus Christ.
A Heart for the Golden Years….
Everyone of us has heard the phrase “the golden years” used to describe the later years of life. While this phrase may be true for many, we also recognize that there are many who struggle through these years of declining health, depleting resources & fear of being alone. We keep this in mind as we approach ministry to Senior’s within Bethel Church, designing opportunities for meaningful fellowship & encouragement.
Ø Weekly Bible Study
From September to April we host an informal lunch-time Bible study that is geared toward Seniors, complete with discussion period, hymn-singing and a prayer time for various needs amongst the group.
Ø Bethel Seniors Fellowship
BSF meets 6 times per year between September & April, focusing on large group (30+) events that are intended to be visitor friendly. Always including a fabulous meal, these events involve many “fun” aspects, singing, hearing from guests & missionaries, as well as viewing current Christian-themed movies.
Ø Road Trips
At least twice a year, we enjoy day trips to various places in southern British Columbia. Typically, 30 to 40 people enjoy the spectacular beauty & fellowship of a day trip to Minter Gardens, the Mission Abbey or Whistler.
Ø Pastoral Visitation
Pastoral visitation is always available by contacting the office and arranging a mutually convenient time.
