Engaging in Ministry with Older Adults

Mehr zum Buch

As America's population ages, congregations are called to minister to today's older adults in new, creative, and engaging ways. Carlson draws on her extensive experience in working with older adults in secular and religious settings. Readers will discover the issues involved in engaging older adults in the ministry of their congregation, as well as in meeting their needs. Explore the possibilities and new directions in "engaging the aging" through examples of what others are doing successfully. Each chapter's "Points to Ponder" helps committees or study groups discover the issues and needs; an extensive appendix lists organizational and print resources.
