This article provides a clear and direct answer to the question: Rural Think Tank Podcast Episode 12: Empowering the Senior Adults in Your Congregation.
This podcast episode looks at the “graying” of our rural and small congregations (Episodes 3 and 6 are also related here). I discuss changing the perspective of how you do ministry when you have a predominately senior adult congregation. We look at not what seniors can’t do, but what they can do.
