METS SENIOR MINISTRY
Welcome to the METS 6th season! METS is our Senior Ministry open to all seniors who would like to join the festivities. We meet the 2nd Thursday of each month from September to May. In addition to our monthly gatherings we have service projects and 3 off-site excursions through the year. We also send home meals to our OBBC shut-ins each month. As you know METS stands for Meet, Eat, Travel, and Serve.

Our kick-off gathering for season 6 will be Thursday, September 10, 2026 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm in the OBBC Fellowship Hall. After a devotion we will "Get to Know our Pastors" by learning a little more about them and how they were led to the ministry, their hobbies, etc. and then enjoy a pizza lunch! We also will learn more details and signup for our Fall trip to John H. Kerr dam on Friday,
Oct. 9th. We hope you will join us! There will be a sign-up sheet in the Welcome Center to register or you can contact the church office by Sunday, Sept. 6th at 434-636-2228

Our senior METS group met on Thursday, May 14th to close out our 5th year. We celebrated the country’s 250th birthday with a patriotic themed program and meal. Pastor Ronnie gave a devotion honoring God and our service men and women. We had a wonderful slide show in memory of and honoring all our METS family members and friends who have served in the armed forces. We were then blessed with a selection of patriotic songs wonderfully performed by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robbie McMillian. We ended our time together with an all American meal of hot dogs, baked beans, chips, with apple pie and ice cream! We also delivered 11 meals to our METS shut-ins. We hope you will join us when we start our 6th year on Thursday, September 10! We’ve already got some great meals and activities planned!

Our METS seniors gathered Thursday and were blessed by a spring concert preformed by the La Crosse Elementary Chorus under the direction of Elizabeth Taylor. We feel very fortunate to be able to hear such beautiful music sung by such talented children. We also heard from Laurie Wright who talked about how she got into mission work as a young person, and how it led to leading mission activities such as Impact Mecklenburg and mission trips to Mexico with Yugo Ministries. She also talked about future mission opportunities available and how we can support them. After a delicious lunch and a selection of awesome desserts baked by some of our own seniors, we packaged up and delivered meals to our shut-ins. We are looking forward to our next gathering on May 14, 2026 when we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country.
