A MESSAGE FROM THE ELDERS FELLOWSHIP

The Elders’ Fellowship which was started ten years ago, consists of a friendly group of 12-15 people, who have come to the eventide of their lives. Though old in years, we are young at heart. Some of our members continue to help in church activities.
Our bi-monthly Meetings always begin with prayers, scripture readings and spiritual discussions. During our Meetings we talk a lot, exchanging ideas, helping out with each others problems. Games and quizzes are a fun part of our activities. We also enjoy the refreshments produced by members in rotation.

A voluntary collection is taken at each Meeting for outreach work. This year, Rs.10,000/- was donated to the Bishop’s Fund to help Fr. Rowland’s grandchild who needed a liver transplant. In addition, Rs.20,000/- was collected by members for the transit home for cancer patients at Maharagama. This money was collected by members on cards given to them by the organisers.
Very often with old age comes loneliness, so the Elders’ Fellowship helps to fill this void in our lives. May the Good Lord bless our members with good health, happiness and peace during the eventide of our lives.
