Rise Up in the Presence of the Aged


Gloria (left), a great friend of ours who lives at the senior citizens complex South Side Manor and South Side Mission's Director of Elderly Services Robin Winfrey, RN pal around before a recent Bible Study at South Side Manor.

Meet Gloria. She is one of our faithful attenders of the Seniors Bible Study at South Side Manor housing complex. Gloria loves the Lord and enjoys opening the Word with us. We are grateful to have a faithful group that comes to study the Bible the first and third Thursdays of the month at 1:30 p.m. South Side Manor is at 915 S. Helen in Peoria.

We have two other Seniors Bible Studies that happen regularly. The Hurlburt House study is the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at 1:30 p.m. Hurlburt House is at 818 W. Hurlburt in Peoria. The B'Nai B'Rith study meets every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m at 215 Sam J. Stone in Peoria.

It's our goal to set up Seniors Bible Studies at each seniors housing facility in zip code 61605. I have had the privilege of attending, though I am not yet a senior and let me tell you those seniors have some great wisdom from the Word and from their life experiences. Pastor Gene Hooker leads the studies and conducts a lively course.

If you'd like to attend any of these studies, feel free to come by and join in!
