“Engaging the Encore Generation”
is the theme of a Pastors’ Conference
to be held March 19 in Decatur, Illinois.
This
conference is open to all church leaders interested in
effective ministry with older adults, the fastest-growing
segment of the nation’s population.
The conference will address meeting the needs and
expectations of older adults as well as providing
opportunities for them to serve with their talents and
gifts. Ministry to older adults in the late stages of their
lives also will be covered.
Dr. Earl Ferguson is the keynote speaker. Ferguson leads a
rapidly-growing congregation in Plainfield, Illinois whose
membership is primarily over 55 years of age. The
congregation, a campus of 6000-member Community Christian
Church of Naperville, features a worship band aged 65 to 85.
Dr. Ferguson’s Messages include “Engaging Teaching, Worship,
and Fellowship” and “Unique Opportunities for Ministry in
Active Adult Communities.”
The program includes the following workshops and presenters:
• “Engaging Christian Ethics in a Pro-Death Culture,” Dr
Robert Kurka;
• “Engaging Pastoral Care through the Transitions of Senior
Life,” Dr Paul Boatman;
• “Engaging Pastoral Care at the Last Stage of Life,” Ernie
Harvey and Dennis Warner;
• “The Best Engagements of Seniors in our Church,” Tim
barber and Mike Harney;
• “Championing Life, Caring for the Dying—Partnership
between Safe Haven Hospice and the Church”—a “Lunch and
Learn” panel discussion.

Christian Church, 3350 North MacArthur Rd, Decatur, from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, March 19. Details regarding
registration and schedule can be found at
