The quarterly senior adult fellowship in Butler Baptist Association is the “best attended senior adult meeting in the county,” according to Betty A. Foster, who’s been the director of the fellowship for more than 10 years.
Foster, a member of Spring Creek Baptist Church, Honoraville, said the fellowship always has a meal and a program that the host church organizes. This quarter McKenzie Baptist Church hosted the event June 2.
The senior adult fellowship consistently sees more than 100 senior adults at each event, Foster said.
“Senior adults look forward to what they are going to eat and what the program is going to be,” Foster said. “It’s something to look forward to, and of course the fellowship.”
Many churches, like Foster’s church, take a busload of senior adults to the fellowships, since many times they are scattered across the county in order to accommodate the most people.
The programs vary at each event but in 2014 there was a senior adult talent show, where the winner was an 88-year-old singer. One year they held a “Minute To Win It” game, which was “fun, fun, fun,” Foster said.
She hopes to host a grandchild talent show this year or in 2017.
