This 19-month calendar that begins with June 2008 contains many aids for pastors and other church leaders. The calendar, whose theme is “I will sing to the Lord as long as I live” (Psalm 104:33), uses the art of three older adult Presbyterians. The gifts of these three—and other older adults—enrich the lives of God’s people, encouraging individuals of all ages to join the song of praise to our Creator.
