MARP is a ministry for persons 50 years of age and older. MARP seeks to develop awareness of resources and potential aging adults have to offer. We accomplish this by: Providing members with opportunities for mutual support and sharing. Linking members with the quarterly newsletter, Web site and special events. Assisting members in finding short-term Christian service opportunities. "Adding life to years." Encouraging older adults to model peacemaking and reconciliation in the family, church, and community     Membership is available to any adult, age 50 or older, who can subscribe to the Christian mission and purposes of MARP. Mission: Mennonite Association of Retired Persons challenges older adults to continue “living with spirit” by promoting service, peace and justice, health and fitness, ongoing learning, relationship-building and mutual support as faithful followers of Jesus Christ.
