We get things started at 8:30 this year,
with a continental breakfast courtesy of Lutheran Church
Extension Fund (LCEF).
This year, we are emphasizing the financial end of things, with
Tim Dittloff, District Vice President for LCEF, who will be speaking on
the mission and ministry of LCEF, and how seniors can particpate in the
building of the kingdom through investments and giving opportunities.
Cindy Mangan will again be on hand to provide us with the topic of
“The Power of Good Nutrition”. Cindy is a Diet Technician from
LutheranLiving Services.
Cynthia Kalies, Chaplain at LutheranLiving Services, encourages us
with her message “The Spirituality of Aging” and reminds us that we are
never too old to grow in our faith-walk with Jesus.
Finally, a representative from Ozaukee Aging Services will provide
us with a video with discussion to follow on elder choices and “getting
your house together”
Pastor Robert Lindau, Senior Pastor of Trinity, will start us off
with a devotion at 8:30 a.m., following a continental breakfast.
