Senior Care

   Senior Care Ministry



First Presbyterian offers opportunities and resources for seniors and their families. During the pandemic, seniors can keep in touch with the life of the church through online worship and Bible study and through email news. If you know a senior who doesn't use a computer, contact the church for information on how to dial in to worship using only a phone and on how to receive the weekly email in print form.

Additional programs and resources are currently under development. Check back to see what might appeal to you as this ministry grows. If you wish to learn more, make suggestions, or ask for assistance for you or a loved one, contact Pastor Nikki Passante, npassante@haddonfieldpres.org.
