In this episode, Rev. Adrian Crum, associate pastor at Harvest OPC in Wyoming, MI sits down with two of his deacons, Lynne Hunter and Cameron Brown to talk about the why and how of Harvest's newly constructed elderly committee.

Lynne says, "Part of [the reason] was that we have a number of elderly folk that have no family and we were getting called in to help these people navigate murky waters. They could no longer live by themselves, and we were getting asked well, 'how can we help them?' And that's when we started exploring what we are supposed to do and what is our responsibility as deacons? And that was kind of some of the catalyst when we found [an OPC] folder and started perusing through that and saying, okay, here's some good ideas, but it still doesn't give us the total answer. We still don't have a total answer, but we're working on it."
