LightRider Gray Barn

Welcome to the GrayBarn

Following completion of the very successful RedBarn project, we began to visualize another ministry opportunity at the other end of the spectrum, and at the other end of the property. The GrayBarn, is a warm, inviting outreach to senior adults; a place for them to enjoy good Christian fellowship. A variety of activities are scheduled, providing opportunities for sharing life's burdens and joys, one with another, in a Christ centered atmosphere. Volunteers and or paid professionals, working with Lightrider's full time staff, plan and conduct these activities, to include: weekly senior men's fellowship (currently led by Jay Kelser); weekly ladies Bible study; ladies chair exercise class; lessons in water color painting; lessons in publishing literary writing; LITE (Life independent through exercise)--a twice weekly exercise class for senior men and women; Saturday Night at the Barn, a Bluegrass/Gospel shindig open to the community; card making classes; scrap booking classes; instruction in square foot gardening; walking our half mile walking path; the Truth Project, Bible study for couples and more.

We plan to develop mentoring activities between RedBarn kids and senior adults (Titus 2:1-6). Our Veteran's Corner, which honors America's military veterans, and the annual Christmas tree decorating party, have provided our first forays into this arena. Wood working, auto mechanics, chess, cooking, and the like may be used in the future.

The GrayBarn is also available for special events: graduation parties, open houses, wedding and anniversary receptions, and the like.
