Care for the Elderly
Be Shepherds of God's flock that is under your care,
watching over them. 1 Peter 5:2
The eldest members in our congregation with
the youngest hearts, came together to start this
group, "Care for the Elderly" (CFE).
The aim was to have fellowship with one another, and a mind to "Care and
Serve." The group was graced by our Presbyter, Rev. Dr. Dexter S. Maben,
along with our Pastorate Committee members for the Triennium 2021-2024.
Care for the Elderly was started in August, 2019.
The Care for the Elderly Sunday was planned for Sunday, the 26th of September
2021, to celebrate the day's theme, 'Wisdom of the Elderly', during both
Kannada and English Worship Services.
The Kannada Service had Rev. I. J. W Ambler who delivered the Sermon in
Kannada speaking on the importance of elders and their contribution in
participating in the fellowship of the church. We would like to thank
Stuthi@standrew's for joining us with a Special Song especially for the elders.
The English Service had Rev. Dr. Moses Jayakumar, who delivered the Sermon
stressing on the importance to Care for the Elders in our community. He quoted
many references from the Bible to reiterate the care given. We would like to
thank our Sunday School children for their Special Song for our elders.
During both the Services, the Elders actively participated and led the Liturgical
Prayers in the Order of Worship. The Elders were given a Memento for their love
and support in nurturing the younger ones, which was followed by the Report of
the Convener, Mr. Praveen Shiri, on the activities from September 2020 to March
2021.
The Objectives and the Key Focus areas for the Triennium 2021- 2024,
was laid out with a continuous set of activities planned for the coming
years. We pray that you will continue to support and uphold this Ministry in
your prayers.
Mr. Praveen Shiri
