​Seniors Over 60 -  XYZ Fellowship​
(Xtra Years Of Zest*) 


About Us...
We are an informal group open to anyone with at least 60 years of zest (less zesty spouses may also participate). 
We will be listing events, classes, or field trips when they are arranged.  For more information contact Margaret Sowers, 717-272-9703, via email  CUMC.xyz@gmail.com, or through the church office.

​
Mission of this group is three-fold:
  • Provide social opportunities.
  • Establish a community outreach relationship with the residents of               Cornwall Manor to enhance and/or support resident opportunities. This     volunteer activity is individually scheduled and not a group-scheduled   event.
  •   Establish a “Helping Hand” program for CUMC members 60 years of  age and older living alone, not a resident of another retirement or nursing facility, who have lost a loved one, and would appreciate a helping hand.

[*zest: a lively quality that increases enjoyment, excitement, or energy!]
​
Activities include: 3-4 seasonal group events:
* Spring - dinner honoring church family members 80 years old and older
* Fall - themed picnic
* Fall/winter - holiday musical event
* Bus outings

Events


This past year has rearranged many life schedules, hopes and dreams. 
In order to follow guidelines and safety for everyone, we are not scheduling events at this time. We hope this pandemic is over soon so we can  schedule events and enjoy in person fellowship once again.
​

On-going activities:

On hold at this time.



Volunteers at Cornwall Manor:

• "Caring Friends" Program (see below) and other volunteer opportunities.
• Training is provided.
• These activities are scheduled to suit the individual’s schedules.
• Contact person at Cornwall Manor for the “Caring Friends” Program is       Stacia Layser. Stacia also serves as Publications Director and Volunteer   Coordinator. (717-273-2647 ext. 1514). A descriptive brochure is available.


XYZ Monthly Outing:
​

• Small group on the bus trips--Bob Ladd, Creator
• Each month we would have a designated captain (captains if a couple)     who would pick a restaurant or other activity or venue to go to. They would   make the reservations and solicit the signups.
• The captain or someone he/she assigns would drive the church bus from   the church to the restaurant/venue and return, filling the gas tank before   returning it to the church. The bus is an important element because of the   camaraderie on the trip and it holds 15 including the driver.
• Everyone would be responsible for their own meals or other costs and   asked to donate toward the cost of the fuel. The dates would have to be   cleared with the church office to assure availability of the bus.
• Any restaurant for lunch or dinner, dinner theater, Longwood or Hershey   Gardens, museum, a minor league baseball game etc. within 1.5 hours   away. They can be day or night, weekday or weekend. Use your   imagination!!

If interested in sponsoring a monthly XYZ outing,
​call Bob Ladd  717-269-5508.

​
Calling All Cards....

We have instituted a Card Ministry as an instrument to extend friendship and caring on behalf of XYZ Fellowship. Perhaps you have some greeting cards such as birthday, get well, sympathy, thinking of you that you'd like to donate. Sometimes drawers and boxes overflow with cards that are forgotten.

Jane Weik, chairperson of this committee, would love to give your donations a new home when recognizing other's life's journeys. There are marked baskets on the bench outside the sanctuary and another on the table near the first floor elevator where you can place you unused cards and envelopes.
​

“Caring Friends” Program and more...
​

 Join in our community service outreach with Cornwall Manor. There are opportunities to become involved with the volunteer areas on the Cornwall Manor Campus.  “Caring Friends” program participates with the residents in the health center on a regular basis. There are many other areas throughout their campus that offer volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in helping others, please contact Margaret Sowers at 717-272-9703 to arrange for additional orientation information sessions. The community service outreach can be arranged for individuals as well as small groups. I hope you will consider how you can be a part of this XYZ Fellowship ministry.
