Catch the Age Wave: A Handbook for Effective Ministry with Senior AdultsIt is time to reexamine our ideas of senior adult ministry. Comfortable assumptions and outdated programs are being challenged in a time when an increasing number of seniors do not regularly attend church. Authors Win and Charles Arn have updated and supplemented their classic book, Catch the Age Wave, in an effort to provide ideas, examples, and advice for starting and maintaining a senior adult program. In addition, they have added practical program ideas to use in any local church setting. |
