Senior Fellowship
Posted on 15. Jan, 2009 by Stewart in Growth Groups, Member Resources, Seniors
Senior Fellowship is a group of mainly retired Christians (retired from full time work not from life) and is therefore free to meet for fellowship during the day. We meet 9.45am to noon Tuesday Mornings (during School Terms) at the Berkeley Vale Rugby Club, Crn Berkeley Rd and Wyong Rd Berkeley Vale – (just north of the High School where The Lakes meets on a Sunday).
The Lakes Senior Fellowship operates using the following principles in ensuring people in the group are properly cared for.
Engaging- To engage with the Community
Members of our group are currently engaged in establishing a church in Glengara Retirement Village, with meetings held each month. And a number of our members have taken the opportunity to join others in the church to bring the knowledge of Jesus to children in our local schools through SRE. Group members keenly support our link missionaries both financially and with prayer.
Starting- To help people to start to live with Jesus as King and Saviour.
Our members are keen to see people hand their lives over to Jesus, and consequently members are continually praying for friends and family.
Connecting- To Cultivate Community it is all about creating God’s new community. This is the focus of our meeting together as we learn to live as a new community being a support for each other in prayer and practical help. We are a group that offers warmth, acceptance, friendship, and joy and a place to meaningfully and deeply encourage one another.Each term we hold a social occasion involving members in picnics, ferry excursions, and hospitality dinners and local places of attraction.
Growing- To Grow (Maturity)
The group provides a place for deepening our love for God and our trust in Him. Our group is a place where God is loved and honoured. Where we hear from Him in his Word and speak to Him in prayer. Our study of the Word aims to be God Honouring, Christ Centred, Spirit anointed and challenging to how we live. Each week we are privileged to have good bible communicators who help us grow and mature as we are challenged with God’s word.
Serving- Our Group strives to be a place and focus where we see love in action.
As Gods workmanship we are created and called to serve others. Individuals of the group are able to use their giftedness and ability to serve each other and the church.
