Senior Adult Assembly i s sponsored by the Adult Minis try section of the South Caro lina United Methodist Confer ence Board of Education. Its purposes are: (1) To offer ex periences for learning and fel lowship beyond the local church. (2) To aid the local church’s ministry to and with older adults of the community.
