Introducing Trinity Senior Lunch Bunch

The Trinity Senior Lunch Bunch will soon begin as a service to local seniors. Each month we will invite residents of local nursing homes and senior housing to join us for lunch and an opportunity to connect and fellowship.

The Trinity Senior Lunch Bunch began nearly a year ago when Trinity member, Pam Hanson approached me with a plan to minister to residents of local assisted living centers, senior housing, as well as people who may be homebound or near homebound.  Over the coming months, Pam recruited a task force to head up the project with her.  Since then the task force has been active in planning, preparing, recruiting, and inviting.

This new evangelistic ministry will welcome its’ first guests on Tuesday, May 17.  Some guests will arrive via bus with their activity director(s), others will arrive with a caregiver or other loved one.  Some who are more independent will be able to arrive on their own.Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed at the door by our greeters and given a name tag.  When they meet in the Trinity Room they will find a welcoming environment that is easy to navigate with a wheelchair.  Quiet music will be playing in the background adding to the welcoming atmosphere.After brief devotion and prayer, guests will enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal.  Mealtime will present an opportunity to make new friends and perhaps reconnect with an old friends.  A hymn-sing, drawing for door prizes, and an invitation to join us next month will will Follow the meal.Trinity Senior Lunch Bunch is poised to be a real blessing to members of our local community.

As we continue to put the finishing touches on this new Gospel mission of hospitality and care I invite you to ask the Lord to bless our efforts.  I also invite you to help our church make this new ministry a reality through supporting it in whatever ways you are able.  We can only imagine how God will use this ministry to bless our congregation and the people whom we welcome.  Nevertheless, the Trinity Senior Lunch Bunch is another way the people of God at Trinity Lutheran Church striving to “love one another as Christ as loved us.”For more information about the Trinity’s Senior Lunch Bunch or how you can be part of it, please contact our Trinity Lunch Bunch Coordinator, Pam Hanson at 653-7039.
