    SED Webinar: Stewarding Our Seniors

    Date: May 28 


    at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm ET

    America is aging, and so is the Church. Scripture tells us that older adults are a vital part of the Body of Christ, with wisdom, faith, and gifts that continue to bless God’s people.

    Join us on Thursday, May 28, at 10 am ET for the webinar Stewarding Our Seniors. Our facilitator will be Mr. Thomas Moll, Director of Content for Worship Anew, a worldwide broadcast ministry reaching older adults through weekly worship services, devotionals, and compassionate-care support.
    Mr. Moll will facilitate a conversation on why ministry to older adults matters, the unique challenges they face, and how congregations are strengthened when they intentionally invest in this important season of life.
    Come reflect on how we can faithfully walk alongside older adults and honor their place in God’s mission.

Mental Health First Aid is likened to CPR certification, where information is shared to assist individuals experiencing mental health or substance use-related issues. Specific risk factors and warning signs are discussed, with shared strategies to meet the needs of individuals with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychoses, substance abuse disorders, and trauma. The outcome focus is the development of recovery and resiliency.
