WHAT IS SENIOR CONNECTION AT OAK AND VINE?

We are a Christ centered community of faith enjoying fellowship with like minded people.

We would like to share our personal interest with you and learn about yours.

We may travel to some places nearby, attend a concert, or a rodeo.

We may learn how to download the latest apps or plant a container garden.

We may have a brunch bible study and then walk away the calories.

We are sure to have some activity that you can and will like to do regardless of the number of candles on our birthday cake .
