Older Adults
Ministries for Older Adults at Glenn Memorial UMC include a wide range of fellowship, service, learning, and pastoral support. Retirement means something different for everyone, but wherever you find yourself as the years go by, there is a place for you with Older Adults of Glenn! Monthly opportunities include fellowship meals, interesting day trips around metro Atlanta, and pastoral care led by clergy and laity alike. Transportation from several local retirement communities is available on Sunday mornings.
FriendShip Group - "Because we're all in the same boat."
Programs by, with, and for older adults. Celebrating the lifetime voyage of faith, the FriendShip Fellowship offers various lunch programs and day trips.
T.N.T. (Tuesday Noon/Nights Together)
A monthly lunch or dinner gathering for fellowship and support.
Care Team
A simple phone call, a card in the mail, or a short visit to share God's love with those who may be homebound or lonely. Our Pastoral Care Team has been sharing this love in the Glenn family for years and we now invite all ages to be a part of this meaningful ministry. Care Team volunteers will be matched with one or two church members to stay in touch - simply by sharing a card, call, or visit. For more info. and to volunteer, contact Carole Adams (
caroleadams@bellsouth.net, 404.377.1504) or Rev. Susan Pinson (
