Senior Friendly Club

Our Senior Citizens ministry at Wallburg Baptist Church offers a time of fellowship for those who consider themself a senior adult. Mrs. Jessie Bryant organized the senior citizens ministry for our church in 1979 and under her leadership this ministry decided on the name Friendly Club.

The Senior Citizens Friendly Club at Wallburg Baptist Church meets monthly for a time of fellowship. We have meals, movies, information sessions and more. We often meet to go out to lunch and sometimes take a day trip.
Our annual Senior Adult Vacation Bible School is held each year in August. We enjoy a weeklong adventure that includes guest speakers, Bible study, crafts, food, door prizes, fun and fellowship.

Our annual mission project is preparing care packages for the patients under the care of Hospice of Davidson County., We have enjoyed this project for over 30 years, and it takes place during our annual Thanksgiving luncheon in November. We have guest speakers from Hospice of Davidson County who join us for this event, and we present the care packages to them during this time.

We invite anyone who would like to join us for our activities and meetings to come and enjoy a time of Christian fellowship together.

Senior Adult VBS 2024 - An Awesome Week!
We had an awesome week of Senior Adult Vacation Bible School the week of August 5th. This year we had 24 who attended at least one day. Thank you so much to our guest speakers Gina McLain from Davidson County Senior Services, Rev. Brian Alexander our new Associational Missions Strategist of the Liberty Baptist Association, and Austin Decker from the North Carolina Baptist Aging Ministry. Due to the storm and power outage, we missed having our guest speaker Andrea Walker from Baptist Children's Home, but we will make up for that soon. Thank you to all those who helped me with kitchen and clean up duty throughout the week - Sally Boger, Lisa Hill, Elijah Reece, Tammy Taylor, and Brandon Wolfe. And thank you to all those who attended our Senior Adult VBS this year.
