18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; Until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, And thy power to every one that is to come.
We need the older generation to help the next generation the strength and power of God.
It is not helpful to not speak in terms of age. The Bible makes distinction.
1 Timothy 5:1–2 (KJV 1900)
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
So at Vision Baptist Church older people must be..
prized,
mobilized
evangelized
There are 59 “one another” commands in the Bible. We need the older generation to help us live them out.
Just like the society we live in we suffer from a shortage of grandparents.
If older people do not feel welcomed then it would be indicative of a greater problem.
In our church we need groups (LifeGroups) and we need teams (SeedLine, AWANA, etc)
