Elders
Individuals, congregations and the agencies of the Nebraska Synod all seek to “live love with the grace and courage of Jesus” in the lives of the elders in our communities.
The ways that individuals and congregations do this are too many to list, but there are a number of agencies and institutions whose missions touch the lives of elders.

“Do not disdain someone who is old,
for some of us are also growing old….
Do not ignore the discourse of the aged,
for they themselves learned from their parents;
from them you learn how to understand
and to give an answer when the need arises.”–Sirach 8:6,9, NRSV
