Senior Ministry Mission Statement

Enabling seniors to continue to experience the baptismal promise of being part of the Lord’s family.

“But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body's growth in building itself up in love.”               Ephesians 4:15-16

Older adults from early retirees and empty nesters on up are invited to participate and help with events. Contact Maritta or a team member if you have questions or would like to join us.

Do you live alone?  Would you like a daily reassurance call from an All Saints friend?

Calling Tree is just what you're looking for.  Calling Tree is a service offered by volunteers from All Saints Lutheran Church.  The program is offered year round and without charge.

Every morning program participants call their designated volunteer.  When a volunteer does not receive a call from their appointed participant, they will initiate a standard procedure to locate the participant and ensure that he/she does not need assistance.

For more information, please contact Bonnie Lokken or Maritta Fink of click More Information to read more about the program.

Classes focus on stretching, toning, strengthening, balance, and osteoporosis. Exercises are designed for 55+, but all are welcome to attend. Our volunteer instructor, Bobbie Tomasek is a registered physical therapist. Classes are held in the Narthex.
 
Stretch and Tone meets Monday and Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. for stretching and strengthening.  All levels of exercisers are welcome. Modifications are made for any special needs or restrictions. 

All Are Welcome!
