About JOY Fellowship

JOY Fellowship is like Youth Group, but Just Older Youth (JOY). It is designed for those 55+ and is envisioned as a time to meet for fellowship, music, food, games, and crafts, or just to talk and support each other through sharing and prayer. (Note: JOY also denotes Jesus – Others – Yourself)

The initial plan for this group is to meet once every other month on Saturdays, from late morning-early afternoon.

  • November 14, 2026 — Snacks
  • January 23, 2027 — Potluck Lunch
  • March 20, 2027 — Snacks
  • May 22, 2027 — Potluck Lunch

Meeting Activities May Include:
  • Games (Bingo/board games/card games/other)
  • Crafts (seasonal craft projects, adult coloring books, other)
  • Music/sing-along

Future direction of JOY Fellowship and activities will be determined by the group members. The large vision is just a time to get to know others, support each other, and plan any other activties you may want to share with small or large groups.
