RiverWalk Church of Christ (formerly Central Church of Christ) has a very active group of senior adults (60+ years of age). You can find our seniors involved in every aspect of ministry at Central, as well as many activities that cater specifically to this group and their friends.
Every year during the fall, a group of senior adults and their friends meet at Trail West (a retreat lodge) in the Collegiate Mountain range just west of Buena Vista, Colorado. This is a time for relaxation and renewal. Devotionals are held each evening. Breakfast and dinners are enjoyed together (included in the price of the retreat). Many other activities are provided for the group on site and also in areas close by. This year’s retreat was September 28–October 2. The slideshow below shows the magnificent vistas and the fellowship of those attending. This year the aspens had turned a brilliant yellow and the mountains were snow-capped. Quite a sight. Contact Scott Waltman or Linda Wheeler for information and to “sign up”.
A time to gather, fellowship, and of course, eat. This dinner takes place every other month during the Spring, Fall and Winter on the 1st Monday of the month, beginning at 5:30 p.m. After enjoying a meal together, a program of interest (education on senior issues or entertainment) is provided. All are welcome. Price of participation: Bring a favorite food dish to share.
Our October bi-monthly was attended by 38 of our members and friends. As always Verna, Herb, Lois and Charles did a great job of hosting the group. We were joined by William Leadaman, who talked a bit about our Capital Campaign. Our next bi-monthly will be December 7. This is our annual Christmas Dinner where we exchange “white elephant” gifts. Bring your food item and a gift and enjoy the food, fun, and fellowship.
Every Thursday afternoon throughout the year a group of our Senior Adults gather at the building at 1:00 p.m. to enjoy a time of card playing and/or board games and fellowship. All are welcome. Bring a snack to share with the group.
