Never too old is intended for the use of people who are involved with ministry,
pastoral care and social action aimed towards older people. It is a resource of ideas,
formats and teaching material to help the Church to provide practical, emotional,
pastoral and spiritual care for older people. It is the hope that older members of the
congregation will be encouraged and enabled to grow and progress in their spiritual
journey, to fulfil their calling to different ministries in the Church utilizing their gifting
to further the Kingdom, and to share their testimonies and wisdom with others. The
resources are imaginative, user friendly, self-explanatory and flexible.
