Senior Adults

Seniors (age 50 and over) meet the 2nd Thursday of each month in the Chapel for food, fellowship, special programs, entertainment and fun. A special Thanksgiving Pitch-In luncheon and a Saturday evening Christmas dinner with entertainment around our beautiful Christmas tree in the Lobby are held annually.  We also take special trips and day-long excursions throughout the year.

Senior Adult Lunch

July 10 at 11:30am - Lion's Club Flag Team

Cost is $15.00

How much do you know about the most obvious symbol of our country, our flag? Do you know the rules about displaying it? Do you know it's history and no, Betsy Ross did not create it or even have anything to do with it. In July we will host a team of Lions Club Members who will give us our flags history, and share how to care and display this honored symbol of our country. It is an interesting and informative story. For reservations: Bob Dralle at 317-847-7033 or bdralle@zumc.org.
