VISION of the Delaney Senior Adult Ministry:
The Delaney Seniors are an active group of adults 55 years and up whose goal is to glorify God by making fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. We gather weekly in various Sunday School classes, and also monthly for times of community and service to others, and to support the outreach of Delaney Baptist Church. We believe that the mature years are a time of increased fruitfulness in life and ministry:
- Mighty in Prayer – A follower of Christ is most powerful when he is spending time with God in impassioned prayer for others.
- Growing in Grace – We eagerly study the Bible, allowing the Holy Spirit to change our lives.
- Sharing the Faith – We actively tell others about Jesus, not only bringing our own generation to Christ, but having an impact in the lives of younger believers as well.

Coming Attractions & Special Events
MARCH
SENIOR ADULTS OUTING – SATURDAY, March 8, 8am – Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales (meet in Delaney’s back parking lot)
To encounter Florida in all its natural beauty, you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and tourist attractions and locate a tranquil repose deep in the heart of the Sunshine State. That quiet place is Bok Tower Gardens. Situated on a rise with a 360o view of gorgeous Florida countryside, the 205 foot “singing tower” houses a 60-bell carillon surrounded by acres of cultivated trees and flowering plants. You will experience a supernatural shalom while breathing deeply the fragrant air and strolling among the flowers as the peaceful sound of bells wafts over you – the intersection of God’s creative majesty and man’s God-given creativity. The cost is $10 plus money for food. We will provide wheelchairs and attendants for those with mobility issues. Sign up in the Senior Adults Sunday School class, on our new SIGN UP CENTRAL in the Courtyard, or call the church office to reserve your place on this refreshing trip.
THIRD THURSDAY LUNCH – THURSDAY, March 20, 12:30pm
