Merrymakers Senior Adult Luncheons
Senior adults from First Baptist and other community churches gather on the third Thursday of each month to enjoy lunch ($5.00 per person), fellowship with friends, old and new, and a musical program. The average attendance is 120-170. Reservations are required. Contact the church office at 706 884-5631 for details.
A senior adult monthly newsletter provides announcements, helpful and inspirational articles, humor, and more.
Opportunities to serve
First Baptist senior adults actively serve in the church and community in literally hundreds of ways, sharing their time, talents, and love of Christ with others as greeters, nursery workers, teachers, bereavement committee, church supper servers, in TeamKid, Operation Christmas Child, Meals on Wheels, choirs, Vacation Bible School, to name a few.

Or they may serve in more than fifty volunteer tasks for Merrymakers luncheons or the newsletter (speak with President Bruce Graben or Senior Committee Chair Janice Morrow at luncheon.
