Mission Moment
Mission Moment
The Area Agency on Aging 1-B is a non-profit organization supporting older adults and their families in six counties including Oakland. They offer a critical link for older adults to have the care they need to age safely and with the dignity they deserve. Seniors can receive help at any place they call home: their own home or apartment, an assisted living facility or with family caregivers. A wide range of services include information and assistance, in-home care, Meals on Wheels, Community Dining, transportation, senior center contacts, long term care Ombudsman and assistance for LGBTQ seniors. Gifts from Sanctuary will be used wherever it is needed most, including funds for meals on wheels to seniors when they are alone on holidays. With the Outreach quarterly focus on seniors, we encourage your support of this agency. For more information join us in The Parlor or on Zoom immediately following our worship service on Sunday, February 6th.

Online Book Study
A three session online book review of "The Gift of Years" by Joan Chittister who describes how you can grow older gracefully by embracing the blessings and overcoming the burdens of aging. She helps us realize how aging is a precious gift of becoming more fully alive in a new stage of life. Each one-hour session will cover three aspects of aging written in easy to read and inspiring short chapters. The group will share their reflections hereon selected topics using leader assigned questions. There is no age limit for participants. We can all benefit from a new perspective on this stage of life. This book study will be led by Janice Rowe, a retired licensed professional counselor and co-facilitator of Sanctuary's Grief Support Group. Email info@sanctuary-church.com by February 2nd to register. Please provide your name, address, and phone number. The cost of the group is $10 which includes the book that will be sent to your home address. A link for Zoom will be emailed to you once you register.

Ash Wednesday Service
Ash Wednesday Service
Join us on March 2nd at 7pm for a collaborative, expansive, Ash Wednesday service of reflection and hope as we mark the space between Christmas and Easter looking to the future and embracing God's grace and mercy. Instead of the imposition of ashes, we are invited to carry the ashes of the past away with us on cards along with the stardust of which we are all composed as children of God and of the universe.

Mission Moment
Mission Moment
NEXT, the name of the Birmingham Senior Center, has served the residents of Birmingham, Bingham Farms, Beverly Hills, Franklin, and surrounding areas since 1978. Their motto describes their mission: “Your place to stay active and connected.” They help seniors put the pieces together to find opportunities to enroll in a fitness, art or computer class or attend a speaker series. They can receive Meals on Wheels, get transportation on a Smart bus, a free consultation with an attorney or referrals to other services. Income qualified seniors can receive volunteer help or financial aid for yard services or home repairs. Your support will keep NEXT growing and thriving since they receive little municipal support and rely on donations from those who value the contributions of older adults. For more information join us in The Parlor or on Zoom immediately following our worship service on Sunday, Marcy 6th.
