“They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green.”
Psalm 92:14What is J.O.Y.?
J.O.Y. is a monthly gathering for those in our congregation who might fit the category of "elderly," "old fogeys," "senior citizens," or "geezers"... you get the picture! We decided a better description for this time in our lives is Just Older Youth.
We create some space to eat a meal together, make new friends, visit with old friends, and simply enJOY each other. You don't have to bring a thing, just yourself.
- Practicing the Way of Jesus,Still growing and still bearing fruit, at every age
