International Day of Older People 2022

The International Day of Older Persons (Saturday 1 October) provides us with the opportunity to celebrate, encourage and affirm the older people within our local settings. This year's resources consider the theme 'Who Cares?', based on Psalm 8, reminding us that first and foremost, God cares!

Major Yvonne Field has composed the song 'He Knows' for the occasion, sung by the 'Young in Heart' choir of Sale Corps:
