The Werribee Church of Christ is opening its doors for a day of fun and good spirit on Tuesday 28 October.
Each year the congregation hosts a day of singing, quizzes and games to celebrate the Victorian Seniors Festival. This year’s theme is ‘On The Job.’
Pastor Garry Cowley said the day is as simple as getting people together and building a stronger community in the process.
“It is mainly just about encouraging people to come along, enjoy themselves and relax,” he said.
“There will be many people who we know already, but it will be great to welcome people we haven’t seen before.”
Despite the celebration taking place in conjunction with the Victorian Seniors Festival, there is no gatekeeping and anyone is welcome.
“I think it’s to just get people reconnected, if you say seniors you lock them, but probably people who live around here who might be in their homes saying, ‘Well, I’m not doing anything’,” Mr Cowley said.
“You don’t celebrate the 30s month or the 40s month during the year.”
Mr Cowley said the funny thing about just coming along to an event like this is you just never know who you might meet.
“A couple of years ago there were two people who ended up being neighbours – and didn’t even know it until they started talking to each other.
“So we think it’s just a great way to reconnect and be part of the greater community.”
The event will run 10am-1pm at 200 Tarneit Road, Werribee , and the $5 entry price will include lunch.
