IS YOUR CHURCH EMBRACING AGE?
Do you run church services in care homes?
We don't believe in reinventing the wheel and we also think that it's great to share ideas and resources.
We have put together a bank of care home service plans and ideas for you to adapt to your situation.
If you run services in care homes and have tried and tested service plans that you are happy to share with others, please do email them to us and we will add them to this bank. All details ientifying particular care homes or organisers will be deleted. We want this to be a free resource that people can use and adapt, and we hope that it will be a blessing to you.
To access the bank please complete the form below and you will be redirected to a webpage with the link.

Adopt your Local Care HomeThere are about 12,500 care homes for older people across the UK, and about 50,000 churches. We'd love to see each care home adopted by a local church and we have resources and ideas to help.

Recommended ReadingThis book written by our founder, Tina English, provides a biblical foundation for ministry amongst older people and covers topics such as dementia, supporting informal carers, care homes, ideas for churches that do not have an accessible building and ideas for those who do.
Here's what others are saying about it:"Whether you have been in ministry with seniors for years or whether you have just started, this book is like a bible to help you on your way. It is one of the most readable books I have come across in a long time, so much so I have bought two more to give to people!!"
A review on Amazon "Having reviewed many books about dementia over the years, I learned so much and was greatly moved by this single chapter." Rev. Dr. Albert Jewell, Secretary of Christians on Ageing Dementia Network, former pastoral director and senior chaplain of MHA Care Group |
"We live in a society, and sometimes a church, that doesn't always appreciate the gifts that older people bring. Tina English brings a great deal of wisdom, huge experience, practical advice and ideas together in this invaluable guide to a vital and growing ministry in local churches. If you want to know where to start with ministry among older people, this is a great place to begin."
