“Out and About” Lunch for Senior Adults -- FBCA's senior adults meet for lunch at a local restaurant to enjoy a meal and each other’s company -- usually the second Friday of each month.   Visit www.fbcalexandria.org/saevents to find where the next lunch outing is.

Strength & Mobility Exercise Classes -- Need help getting the kinks out of your system? Join other FBCA seniors as we move, stretch, and bend our way back into shape -- and have fun while doing it!  Classes meet every Monday and Thursday at 12:30pm in Room 150C (Faith Activities Center) and are led by Debby Duffett (Mondays) and Holly Schickler (Thursdays).

Quilting -- Whether you’re an experienced quilter or just want to learn, join FBC’s quilting group for great fun and fellowship. The group meets on the 2^nd and 4^th Wednesday of each month in Room 154.  All skill levels are welcome.  No experience needed!  Have questions? Contact Nell Garringer at nellgarringer@comcast.net.

Missions Monday  --   Did you know....that Senior adults meet bi-monthly for mission projects in our community? Missions Monday is the first Monday of every other month at 10:30 a.m.  In June, we celebrated Memorial Day with patriotic songs, the armed forces songs, and some golden oldies for the residents of Silverado, a memory facility across the street from FBCA.  In August, we are providing Vacation Bible School for a morning at Silverado!  If you'd like to learn more, or join the group, contact Swaim Pessaud.

Worship Services at Aarondale and Silverado -- Senior Adults lead worship on Sunday afternoons at assisted living facilities.  Two Sundays a month teams go to Aarondale; one Sunday a month, a team goes to Silverado. If we had more worship teams, we could offer worship services more often. Can you read scripture -- Lead a prayer -- Sing along on a hymn? You, too, could participate!  For more information or to join the group, contact Swaim Pessaud.
