MCBC Seniors are a faith community passionate about positive aging in body, soul and spirit, and our activities together revolve around those themes such as:

​

• Overcoming loneliness 

• Finding community and building relationships 

• How to deal with health and financial issues 

• Cultivating a vibrant spirituality and mental health in the later years 

• Ways to prevent and identify elder abuse and protocols of response 

• Assisting others to find meaning and purpose in life 

• Discovering and sharpening our gifts and experiences, and where we can volunteer to serve the wider community. 

• Passing on life wisdom and making inter-generational life contributions to the next generations

• To mobilize baby boomers for voluntary mission engagement and projects- both in NZ and around the world. 

 

Who is welcome? Those aged 65+ but open to others who are available during the day and looking for community.
