As most of you know, I will no longer be the serving as the Senior Adult Director after the middle of August.  You will be in the capable hands of my friend and co-worker, Kathy Scott.  She will not only provide you with fun activities and service projects but will also provide a care ministry.  This is a very good thing for the seniors and something I was unable to do a good job of providing because of my other job responsibilities.  It has been a pleasure serving you and serving with you over these past years.

Activities in August kick off with an inhouse activity Wednesday, August 6.  We will have lunch, including watermelon, at 11 followed by games.  Bring your favorite game and join in a game that you have never played before.  The cost of lunch and watermelon is $7.

From Monday, August 18-August 21, we will have our annual Adult VBS from 9:30-noon.  Plan to attend and bring some friends.  While I generally don’t have a topic this early, I do this year.  We are going to be looking at the Gospel according to Moses.  This will be a study of places, events, and people in the Old Testament who show us that God had always planned to send us a savior and you can see that plan start to unfold in the Old Testament.  Let’s explore the gospel through a new perspective.

It’s summer already.  Time is moving fast and we have great opportunities for you to enjoy this summer.

On Wednesday, June 4th we will go to Grant’s farm. Admission is free but the bus ride and parking will be $4 per person.  We will begin with a tram ride through the farm.  After that you will be able to feed baby goats, experience the petting zoo and end the day at the Clydesdale barn.  We will then have lunch at 3 Kings.

On Monday, June 23 we will tour the Cathedral Basilica and then have lunch at Blueberry Hill!  The cathedral was completed in 1914.  It has the largest collection of mosaics in the world outside of Russia.  We will take a tour, visit the gift shop and then head for Blueberry Hill, the late Chuck Berry’s restaurant.

The senior adult council met last week and planned the July – September activities.  We have several inhouse activities because of the summer heat and a service project that I hope you will all participate in.

Put these events on your calendar and plan to attend as many as possible!

May is going to be a fun month. First on May 8th, we will be going to the Transportation Museum. We have been there before but never as VIP’s. We are going to enjoy complimentary admission, a vintage trolley ride, and a VIP guided tour by Conductor Charlie, our own Charlie Lee! Wear your walking shoes as we explore the 42 acres of cars, airplanes, boats and 70 train locomotives. The museum has the largest collection of train locomotives of any museum in the country. The bus will leave at 10 am.

Then on Wednesday/Thursday, May 21-22, we will journey to Nauvoo, IL. This historical city is located along the Mississippi river. In the mid 1800’s, it was the oldest city in Illinois. Some of the major attractions we will visit are the restored homes of the early Mormon settlers, the Joseph Smith Historic Site, the Brigham Young Home, the Flood Museum and several of the town’s museums. Cost will be determined by the number of individuals who sign up. Plan on a hotel room, and 6 meals and admissions. The cut off for sign-ups will be May 14.

Spring is definitely on its way and our upcoming events will get us ready to welcome the warmer weather and recharge our batteries.

On Wednesday, April 2, we are going to have a day of food, fun and service. Lunch will begin at 11:30. After lunch we will play some bingo for some fabulous prizes that you bring like jigsaw puzzles you have already completely and the dog hasn’t eaten any pieces, books you have read, Knick knacks or decor that don’t fit your decor anymore!  We will end the day with a short service project at the church. Hope you will join us. Lunch is $7.

On Thursday, April 24, we will go to the science center for the omnimax movie Super Human Body: World of Medical Marvels. This movie will take us on a journey into the human body and the incredible breakthroughs in science and technology.
