| On October 4, 2008 approximately 100 Lutherans and United Methodists gathered at Rush United Methodist Church for the “Living Fully/Aging Well Conference. Cathy Ansuini, Professor of Wellness at State University of New York at Buffalo presented the keynote address. She shared how humor and a positive attitude help each of us heal faster and live longer. A variety of workshops were available including nutrition, intergenerational programming, Alzheimer’s disease, and making your older adult programming intentional. A special feature of the conference was an Early Bird workshop led by Dr. Tom DeLoughry on his program “Never Too Old To Be Well.” The planning team hopes that attendees will return to their churches to share their knowledge and to become advocates for church programming to become intentional in developing older adult ministry by, with and for all seniors. |
