About Us
The Glowing Years Ministry (formerly known as CSMM) encourages senior members who are 55 years and above to participate in active, healthy and meaningful activities within the Church and outside, in Christian faith and service.
A few seniors have been visiting home-bound church members monthly. Activities include bringing the residents of the Christalite Home out for lunch at least twice a year, serving the residents of the Moral Home of the Aged light refreshments, visiting a place of interest before supporting the GYM High Tea and Bethany Home carolling with the Boys Brigade in conjunction with the Sharity Gift Box around Christmas.
Every Tuesday morning a group of seniors come together for table tennis and in the afternoon for line-dancing.
The GYM welcomes volunteers for visits to Moral Home, Christalite Home and Bethany Home and any new committee members.

Key Verse:
"They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green," Psalm 92:14
