Seniors
“A grey head is a crown of glory; It is found in the way of righteousness.”
Proverbs 16:31
At TBC we have a thriving community of seniors, who are served and are serving through a variety of events and activities. We want everyone to be included in a community where each person can thrive.
God has given you unique gifts and life experiences that are important to our life here. To the extent you’re willing and able, we would love to invite you to use those gifts among us, both to continue your own personal growth, and to awaken the God-given potential of others.
We’re all about relationships, and we know that often in the third and fourth ages of life, time needs to be taken to recognise and meet particular needs. God’s heart is to bring healing and fullness to everyone.
Regular activities
Lunch Hub
Every Tuesday
12:15 – 1:30pm
@ Tonbridge Baptist Church
Booking required
The energy crisis and rapidly changing finances we are all facing is hitting many people hard. At TBC we understand that sometimes a hot meal, with good company, can make all the difference, and so from October 2022 to February 2023 we are running our Lunch Hub – a two course hot meal for those over the age of 50 with tea or coffee, with occasional entertainment following lunch.
We want everyone to be able to attend, regardless of your financial circumstances, so we will not be charging for lunch. If your circumstances allow a voluntary donation of up to £5 per person would be appreciated.
To enable us to cater appropriately each week, please book in advance. Bookings close at 2pm each Friday.
