How Many Nonagenarians In Your Congregation?

Out of a membership of about 200 or so, there are a half dozen who actively come to church. Another ten or so are invalids who watch/listen to the Sunday services.

I'd say there are about forty octogenarians in our congregation.

I'm not a septuagenarian yet. But I'd guess there are about fifty or more in that age bracket.

The younger ages don't count in my survey. :)

We recently moved Churches.
We have 20 members in total.
-2 Nonagenarians (One is 91, I only know the other member is 90+, they're married)
-4 Octogenarians
-6 Septuagenarians (One of these is a son of the Nonagenarians)

I'm also friends with another nonagenarian. He is 92, and tells me all the time about growing up in the UP of Michigan in the 1930s.

We generally have around 25 in attendance from infants to around 80 years old. So no nonagenarians.

People from elsewhere watch via Sermon Audio, Facebook Live, and YouTube.

Also, on our Bible Study via Zoom on Wednesday evenings we have people from various places, such as Japan, Canada, and Hawaii and other states.

We run around 80 on Sunday mornings. Fewer on Sunday nights and Wednesday nights. We still video our services on Facebook and we have several who view. One even, from Cambodia.

I know of only 1 in his nineties - 94. He attends every time the doors are open. Several in their 80's. Still faithful. And even in the choir.

1-octogenarian
1-septuagenarian
3- in their fifties

We are trusting to have someone in each 10 year group

Old thread (but not a long one).

To answer the question for my congregation, we eat meat.

We have a good balance. Fairly large youth and older group.

60-70 on Sunday mornings, and our 94-year-old is a lady but the same for attendance. A 96-year-old lady now attends infrequently due to health but was a regular 5-6 years ago. One couple in their 80s
