Older Adult Week
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) designates various days on the church calendar for special emphasis. The first Sunday of May is the beginning of Older Adult Week. Below are resources to help honor older adults for their commitment to the life, witness, and ministry of the church. These resources may be used anytime your faith community chooses to celebrate Older Adults.
Presbyterian Older Adult Ministries Network (POAMN) promotes the development of older adult ministries and the value of such ministries. POAMN’s mission includes nurturing the faith community, equipping leadership, and resourcing congregations and other organizations that minister to, for, and with older adults. POAMN creates resources for congregations to use with their Older Adult Ministries, as well as specific resources for care partners to use when caring for loved ones.

PAHSA is a not for profit association representing organizations that provide residential communities, health care and services for older adults.
