Connect (55+)
Connect is a collection of opportunities open to everyone but with a generalised focus on older adults.
In Connect (55+) through a variety of activities we want to:
Reach out to people, encouraging them to live lives to the full
See people building meaningful friendships
Explore and grow together in faith
Share the hope we have in Jesus
Connect Tuesdays
Second Tuesday of each month at the City site, doors open 10.15am
Our monthly gathering is an opportunity to catch up with existing friends and also to make new ones. We provide drinks, biscuits and cakes as people arrive.
During the morning we have activities around a theme which we hope is relevant for those over 55. Some activities and talks are serious and others are fun!
There is an update on other activities taking place during the month and then we end with a short reflection from the Bible. We aim to finish by 11.45, though people do stay on to chat.
Connect Activities
There are regular activities every month, and others that happen from time to time.
These activities fall into four categories:
Discover the Past (e.g. town walks and talks of historical interest)
Keep Active (e.g. badminton, table tennis, board games, 4+ mile walks in and around Southampton, and leisurely strolls on the Common)
Creative (e.g. knitting, painting and other creative activities)
Out and About (e.g. coffees, coach trips, visits to gardens etc)
People are responsible for themselves, make their own way to activities, and pay for their own tickets, coffee etc.
