Moving from aging to saging, the Evergreens are part of the Senior Ministry at Bethel. We seek to enrich the second half of life by making deeper spiritual connections through opportunities which provide service to others, self-expression, meaningful work, and close friendships. We hope to be good stewards of this wonderful gift of life God has given us in all of its dimensions, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Interactive programs emphasize the art of faithful aging by encouraging persons to share life wisdom by teaching each other from the lifetime of experiences they have gained. We provide tools to leave a spiritual legacy by writing or telling life stories through audio/visual recordings and writing an ethical will, as well as the more traditional legal legacy of wills and trust. We also raise questions about life's meaning as we face life changes, personal growth and developing skills to handle the changes that occur. These include a variety of health-education and preventive healthcare programs.
Evergreens celebrate these gifts of extra years by recognizing the deeper meanings in later life events. Come join us from 10:30am to 12:30pm for spiritual growth programs, followed by lunch and fellowship in the Fireside Room the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month, with the exception of special holiday events, such as the Thanksgiving Dinner (November) and Christmas Party (December).
If you are interested in presenting a program, providing a lunch, or attending Evergreens, contact Pastor Randy Pabst.
