Seniors @ Emmanuel

RIPE stands for Retired People at Emmanuel.  For the 'I' one could perhaps insert an adjective such as 'interesting' or 'intelligent'...

RIPE is for all retired people:

• men and women
• for those attending Emmanuel regularly or occasionally
• those who have no church affiliation
• those who go to other churches but who enjoy sharing fellowship across the church family.

We extend a warm welcome to everyone!

We meet on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 2.30pm. Our time together generally includes a short time of worship, news and updates, prayers and a speaker - followed by excellent refreshments and an opportunity to get to know one another better. The aim is to encourage one another as we seek to know Jesus better, serve Him, make new friends and have fun together. There are regular outings on the 5th Thursdays - pub lunches are popular. We also have an annual Outreach Supper with a Special Guest Speaker and an Annual Garden Tea Party.
