The Sweet Life: A 50+ Ministry

    The Sweet Life is a gathering of our Athens First UMC members and friends who are age 50 and up. We will enjoy a meal together along with lively conversation and learning opportunities. Our monthly luncheon events will include programs with beautiful music from church, community and college, as well as information to help us live joyful, healthy and full lives. Building on the Senior Fun tradition, we will explore together all that makes life sweet.

    Gatherings are in Hancock Hall. Lunch begins at 12:00 noon, and the program starts at 12:30 p.m. and lasts up to an hour. Please RSVP by noon on Wednesday before the event.  Register online or by calling the church office.
