Overview

About 13 percent of Americans are sixty-five or older, according to the most recent census. As baby boomers continue to age, retirement communities and senior living centers will need to expand to meet their needs. Today's modern seniors are looking for social events and challenging educational opportunities close to home. No More Potlucks, Please! provides dozens of ideas for entertainment, themed parties, low-key gatherings, and scripture-based activities to help event coordinators and ministers plan exciting, diverse programs. Book two in a series of resource books for seniors by Lisa Deutsch, this excellent follow-up to The Beginner's Book of Senior Program Resources is well organized, with three event suggestions per month. A detailed description, decorating ideas, recommended Bible readings, jokes, games, video clip options, and more accompany each activity idea. A handy appendix includes pages of ready-to-copy word games, trivia quizzes, crossword puzzles, and other handouts. This easy-to-use, faith-based guide will be indispensable for anyone responsible for planning enriching social events for nursing homes, retirement communities, church groups for older adults, and senior day care centers.

Anyone who ministers to the same group of people week after week knows how easy it is to begin running out of ideas and things go flat. Lisa has provided a wonderful resource full of hundreds of creative ideas. Even though this book is targeted primarily to the over-50 age group, there are such fantastic ice breakers, humor, and teachings that I think anyone in creative ministry, regardless of the age one teaches, will find this book an invaluable tool. Enjoy! - Chaplain Bart Larson Author, Hope in the Dark: A Positive Look at Life on the Edge of Eternity; Jesus: A Biblical Defense of His Deity, Josh McDowell, co-author
