At Birchwood Church we are blessed with a number of senior adults who have faithfully supported our church since it was founded over 50 years ago.  We believe there is a growing opportunity for meaningful ministry to senior adults in our church family.

• People age 65 plus, now number over 35 million representing one out of every 8 Americans:

• The number of older Americans (65+) has increased to 12.4% since 1990 (3.3 million).  This number is expected to grow to 20% by 2030.

• In the U.S., 2 million people celebrated their 65th birthday last year... almost 5,500 per day.

• As of July 1983, there are more adults age 65 or older than teenagers in the United States.

• This growing number of senior adults is living longer than ever before.  More than two hundred Americans reach age 100 each week.

Senior adults at Birchwood participate in a variety of senior activities:

Joyous Blenders Connection Group - meets every Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. for prayer, fellowship, meaningful Bible study, and small group support.

Prime Time Breakfast - meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at Bob Evans Restaurant on 39th Street for prayer, food, and fellowship.

Busy Bees - meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 11:00 a.m. for prayer, Bible study, fellowship, a catered lunch, and entertainment.
