The righteous will flourish like a tree...They will flourish in the courts of our God.  They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; he is my Rock and there is no wickedness in him”.  Psalm 92: 12-15

 

Harbor Covenant Church (HCC) invites seniors (55+) to join in this program which offers opportunities for a closer relationship with Jesus Christ through education and service. Our mission strives to empower seniors by strengthening ties to one another and to the church community. As we experience the increasing challenges of aging, it is important to claim those lessons the gospel offers for living a life of continued growth, love and wisdom. Join us as we endeavor to make the most of God’s gift of a full and abundant life.

 

Day Trips

Day trips are planned, several times a year, for those who enjoy visiting interesting sights but prefer to go in a group. Excursions are planned around seasonal, religious, uplifting, historical, artistic and cultural events. Invite your friends and come along.

 

Prime Time Luncheons

Four or five times a year, Prime Timers get together for lunch at HCC. Enjoy visiting with friends, welcoming newcomers plus special programs which include lively entertainment and featured speakers.
