The Oldtimer’s Grapevine Newsletter is a not-for-profit ministry grounded in Jesus Christ for the enhancement of his church. With roots in the Christian Missionary Convention and the National Convocation, the Grapevine values diversity, always striving to reflect our oneness in Christ. Our purpose is to call seniors, 60 years and above, into community; promote a high quality lifestyle; and celebrate servant leaders to inspire hope and continuing service in retirement.
