Seniors' Corner
Meet Minnesota's Greatest Generation
Join us for a tour of the Minnesota History Center on Friday, February 17, and view the exhibit on Minnesota's Greatest Generation. This exhibit tells some of the stories of the people who grew up during the Depression, came of age during World War II and participated in the post-war boom -- creating a lasting legacy that has shaped all of us who have come after.
We'll take a bus from Faith to the History Center; the bus will leave at 9:30 a.m. and will return about 1 p.m. The cost of the bus plus the entrance fee is $20 per person. We will stay for lunch at the History Center cafeteria, so bring money for lunch as well. Please sign up in the Commons.

Attention Seniors
Our "Seniors' Corner" at the church has a collection of area senior newsletters for you to take a look, including the Voice of Experience (Coon Rapids), Fridley Senior News, Mary Ann Senior Center News (Blaine) and the Medica Skyway Senior Center newsletter. There's a notepad so you can jot down the phone number to call if you would like to receive any of the newsletters. A lot of helpful information and events are found in these newsletters, and most of them are free. Other booklets with a variety of information are also on the shelves in our "Seniors' Corner."
Our Mission
Faith's Senior Adult Ministry was initiated in October 2007 with the formation of an Adult Council of 10 people. The goal is to provide a varied program of events for seniors, but always with an open invitation for all ages.
