JOY Senior Adult Ministry at NRUMC

JOY is JUST OLDER YOUTH, a group sharing Christian love, fellowship and support to older adults at NRUM church and to the community. You do not need to be a member at NRUMC or at any church in order to be a part of the JOY gatherings and community.  JOY is a senior adult program for anyone ages 55 and older who enjoys the fellowship of meeting and going places together. Annual dues ($10) are used to support mission and community outreach activities.

Activities include regular scheduled meetings as well as outings such as theatre productions, boat trips, museum tours and more throughout the year. Typically day trips with optional transportation provided; however, some overnight trips may be offered based upon interest and availability.

Regular Meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday with catered lunch ($12) featuring guest speakers, musical programs, etc. 

Game Day is on the 3rd Wednesday, members enjoy playing games followed by lunch (bring your own salad/sandwich - dessert/drinks are provided). 

Lunch out is on the 4th Wednesday of each month our group offers our members the opportunity to eat lunch out together at a local restaurant.
