Seniors
ROSES Ministry
ROSES—Reach Out and Serve Episcopal Seniors is a vital pastoral care program that links volunteers with seniors who live at home or in a facility, and would benefit from added connection, companionship and engagement.
Volunteers go through an orientation session with program leaders, and are paired with a parishioner for monthly visits and check ins. The ROSES team meets every six weeks to follow up on visits and meet with program leaders for continued support.
Be a part of the ROSES team! If you are interested in becoming a ROSES visitor, contact Committee Chair, Pat Marquardt (336) 923-8089. If you know someone who would benefit from visits, contact the Rev. Nancy Vaders.
Senior Lunch
Every third Wednesday of the month, in Colhoun A, the Senior Adult Ministry Committee hosts Senior Lunch with a featured guest speaker. Please join us for fellowship, a delicious meal, and connection with fellow seniors and community leaders. No reservation is ever necessary, cost is $8.00 at the door, and guests are always most welcome.
Monthly Services at Arbor Acres and Salemtowne
On the first Thursday of each month, a service of Holy Eucharist is held at both Salemtowne and Arbor Acres Retirement Communities with rotating clergy from St. Paul’s. The Salemtowne service is held at 10:00am and the Arbor Acres service begins at 3:30pm. Please reach out to the Rev. Nancy Vaders for any questions about service times and locations.
Senior Trips
Throughout the year, the Senior Adults take trips to explore a variety of interests including museums, cultural tours, art exhibits, local restaurants and spiritual retreats. Trips are advertised throughout the year, and all are welcome. Spaces are limited, so please pay close attention to registration details.
