Dr. Roger Valci, Senior Pastor at Valley Christian Center, Dublin CA, focused the Sunday morning message on life after 50 by asking these questions of a Mature Adults Panel.

“Our goal was to make people aware of how you feel on key issues of family, church and life.”

The Questions:

  • Who is your “favorite” pastor? (joke)
  • How many years have you been at VCC?
  • How many children and grandchildren do you have?
  • What is “retirement” like?  Is it really all that it made up to be?
  • What does it feel like to be a “second half person” in a “first person world”?
  • What concerns do you have with modern families?
  • What regrets do you have with your own family?
  • What are so glad you did with your own family?
  • What do you see in life that we cannot?
  • What do you see God doing at VCC?
  • Health is a big part of aging.  Describe some of those struggles.
  • Do you like young people?  What do you wish young people would know about you?
  • What fears, anxieties, worries do you struggle with?
  • How can we as a church family help you?
  • Before you step into the other side, presumably, that age will take you there before us, what life lesson would you like to leave us?
