Elderly
Shut-Ins
Elderly shut-ins are often underserved and forgotten in our communities. By building a community around them, we can strengthen their relationships with others and foster a new outlook on life.
The Micah Community Movement shares our hearts and hands to minister to the elderly at Southern Plaza Retirement Community. We provide weekly Sunday morning worship services, fellowship and communion.
