Young At Heart
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
Young At Heart, a very special ministry of Park West Church, consists primarily of senior adults, 50 and over, married and unmarried, as well as members with deceased spouses. The purpose of Young At Heart is to encourage the believer in prayer and study of God's Word, to equip them for service. They also emphasize the value of being spiritual leaders of the family, even after the children have moved away from home.
Establishment of a prayer chain has brought forth testimonies weekly and even daily, of God's blessings and healings in many lives. The Young At Heart have adopted an outreach ministry of prayer and financial support of missions regularly.
This ministry meets once monthly for dinner and fellowship with one another. Their meetings take place at the church, various restaurants and homes. Annual trips are on the agenda, as well as monthly ladies luncheon for friendship and ministry.
