Matthew 16:36-38   And He took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.  And they did all eat, and were filled:  and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.  And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

“Loaves & Fishes” is a ministry for the shut-ins at NBC Church and the surrounding community.  Each Thursday plate lunches are delivered to homes of the shut-ins as an outreach of our Senior Ministries program.  For more information contact Dean Richards at 256 931-5411.

Senior Adult Ministries M & M Ministries
In every church the most precious and valuable resource we have is our members. In our own church family we are richly blessed with many senior adults. It is your work and devotion that laid the foundation enabling us to be where we are today. We owe you a debt of gratitude that can never fully be repaid. 

So it is with thankfulness and great joy that New Brashiers Chapel United Methodist Church offers you this new Senior Adult Ministries Program. Faye Perry and Ruby Neal will be working to resource, facilitate and plan ministries for you and with you. We at NBC have a deep affection for and appreciation of senior adults. Please join us as we embrace this ministry together.

The M & M Ministries (Mature Moments)
The Senior Adult Ministries at NBC will be known as the M & M’s. We are a diverse group of people, age 55 and older, who enjoy people! Join the M & M’s and enjoy Christian fellowship as we gather together.  For more information about the Senior Ministry program, contact Faye Perry at 586-5713.
