Ministry on Aging Work Group

Mission Statement:
The Ministry on Aging Work Group seeks to serve in response to God's love in Christ Jesus,
acting as a bridge to the congregations of this Synod in advocating dignity and justice for senior citizens.

Vision:
Continuing goal is to develop Power Point programs on a number of topics that might be helpful to people as they age, continue our relationship with Wartburg College, and remain open to new research and information that we can make available through the web site and our newsletter insert.
