Older Adult and Caregiver Ministries- Summer Events

OACM Day Trip

Our day trip to the Center for Civil and Human Rights last month was a great success. [Pictured above] 16 members and friends gathered for tacos at Tin Lizzies and headed over to the Center; the format is like a museum with immersive experiences. It was a thoughtful and moving event for many on the trip. Stay tuned for more day trip opportunities in the fall!

Balance Class

We’ve had a great response to the A Matter of Balance Classes with 16 members and friends of members attending. This topic is REALLY important for all ages, it just takes one time of not paying attention to your surroundings, etc. that can cause someone to fall and experience an injury. We are practicing four types of exercise- 1) endurance, 2) strength, 3) balance and 4) flexibility.  Even the members of the class who exercise on a regular basis are learning a lot. The OAC Ministries is considering holding another class next Spring.
