On June 1st, 2025 an Annual Mission Event has been planned by All Saints Women of the ELCA (assisted by the Social Ministry Team) following worship.

OLDER AMERICANS MONTH - Every May, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM), a time to recognize older Americans' contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm our commitment to serving older adults.
The 2025 theme, Flip the Script on Aging, focuses on transforming how society perceives, talks about, and approaches aging. It encourages individuals and communities to challenge stereotypes and dispel misconceptions. This year, join in honoring older adults’ contributions, exploring the many opportunities for staying active and engaged as we age, and highlighting the opportunities for purpose, exploration, and connection that come with aging.
The ACL was created in 2012 brringing together the federal government's work to help older adults & people with disabilities maintain their health & live in their communities.
While these 2 populations are very different in many ways, the services & supports they need to live and fully participate in their communities are often the same. By bringing federal work to support community integration together uner one umbrealla, ACL has improved coordination and collaboration, and avoid duplication of efforts. It is more easily able to share expertise arcross aging and disability networks.
