Senior Adults
55+ Ministries strive to provide support to older adults of various ages through spiritual growth, service, fellowship and education, empowering them to continue in their faith journey and be actively involved at McFarlin United Methodist Church.
Alzheimer’s Support Group
In the 5th chapter of James we read about the importance of turning to our faith family when we are in need of support. Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s carries with it the need for prayer and support.
Alzheimer’s Support Group offers caregivers the opportunity to meet and have lunch with other caregivers on a monthly basis in a safe and confidential environment.
We hope you will consider becoming a part of this group. If you have any questions and/or are interested in participating, please give me a call at the church or send an email to smiller@mcfarlinumc.org. We meet the third Wednesday of every month, so please rsvp by the 2nd Wednesday of every month so we can prepare a place for you.
