Passing On the Faith
Abstract: An Inter-Lutheran organization for "older adults," but everyone's older than someone, so anyone can join.
Our synod's most recent email newsletter included a link to the website of The Association of Lutheran Older Adults (ALOA). ALOA is "the only national inter-Lutheran organization focused on identifying and serving the needs and interests of Lutheran older adults, with a focus on working with and through congregations, districts, synods and other service ministry organizations to encourage senior ministry and senior involvement locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. ALOA is "inter-Lutheran," affiliated with the ELCA and recognized as a social ministry organization of the LCMS. The group sponsors national Lutherhostel events, regional Seniorfests, travel events (pilgrimages, cruises, etc.), and educational opportunities for Lutheran seniors.
ALOA's theme for 2006-2009 is "Passing on the Faith."
There is no age requirement for members: "ALOA invites seniors and soon-to-be seniors (boomers!), congregations, social ministry organizations, synods, districts and others to share our vision of a church renewal based on effective use of the gifts, experience, and commitment of older adults"
