Amazing Grays: Unleashing the Power of Age in Your Congregation

 

Amazing Grays:  Unleashing the Power of Age in Your Congregation has been released by ChurchHealth/Lifetime Ministries. The book, authored by Dr. Richard and Leona Bergstrom, is designed to help churches and communities of faith develop effective and powerful ministries for middle and older adults.  The writers believe that as the “age wave” crests, the church will have tremendous opportunities to touch the lives of unprecedented numbers of aging persons.

 

Within the book’s 148 pages, the Bergstroms establish a convincing argument as to why churches should address the issues of an aging society.  There are several chapters that offer specifics as to how to begin an older adult ministry and suggestions for activities and programs.  Throughout the book, readers are challenged to provide ministry that not only meets spiritual, physical and emotional needs, but also provides opportunities for service.  The final chapter lists resources to help church leaders further understand the issues of aging and ministry to older adults.

The book is currently out of print. You may purchase a copy of the book in pdf format on a CD for a suggested donation of $10. You have the authors’ permission to print any pages you find helpful.
