Senior Resources

God has blessed us in many ways and one of the most meaningful blessings He has given is the gift of “Senior Citizens.” They are our bridge to the past and our life coaches for the future being examples of strength and endurance in our walk with the Lord. They continuously live on in the character, morals and values that they instill in each of us. We must always honor and care for them.
