Methodist Elders Fellowship is a unique bi-monthly programme in the family of EMC started by the Committee on Education and Christian Nurture to cater to the senior citizens of our church. It is conducted on the 4th week soon after the morning worship service (July, September, November-Christmas special, January-annual meet with MYF and March) at 10:45 AM, at the Centenary Hall. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, MEF meets virtually every 1st Saturday from 5:15 PM to 6:30 PM on Zoom.
Elders above 60years are welcome to be a part of MEF. Though we are referred to as seniors we still have life overflowing in us. We, the elders, are builders in many ways. Age can never be a barrier for us to live life to the fullest.
In our fellowship, we have variety in the agenda such as meditation on the word of God, singing praises, activities, fun, games and praying together. As God has mercifully led us into the evening of our lives, the spiritual enrichment we get in these sessions gives us confidence and hope to live our lives day by day.
The fellowship that we enjoy with one another along with a good bite for our stomach is something that we look forward to every time. Those who are troubled at heart find encouragement in the word of God. Undoubtedly every person who is a part of the fellowship experiences enlightenment and satisfaction and we sincerely hope that many more elders will be blessed by the fellowship.
Some of the topics we have covered at MEF are:
Peace is Yours
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14 : 27
Our God, One Solution for all our problems
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
They are new every morning, Great Is your faithfulness
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23
Letting Go
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Proverbs 3:5
Darkness to Light
the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” Matthew 4:16
His strength will be made perfect in my weakness
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2Corinthians 12:9
Complete in Christ
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1 : 6
