Seniors Programs

Belong. Connect. Thrive. Free weekly programs for adults aged 55+.

Welcome!

55+ Healthy & Happy is SECA’s volunteer-run seniors initiative, proudly launched in April 2024 and offered at no cost to participants. This program was created to support healthy aging and to build an age-friendly, welcoming community where older adults feel connected, supported, and that they truly belong.

​We meet every Thursday for a full two-hour program. The first hour focuses on active programming, such as gentle fitness, movement, or wellness-based activities that support physical health and independence. The second hour is dedicated to social connection and enrichment, featuring guest presentations, creative activities, games, learning opportunities, and plenty of time to visit, laugh, and build friendships.


​Through 55+ Healthy & Happy, SECA aims to reduce social isolation, encourage lifelong learning, and create meaningful opportunities for seniors to stay engaged, active, and involved in their community.

Program Calendar

Mark your calendars!

All sessions below are FREE, open to the public (seniors 55+) and will take place at Peace Lutheran Church (14640 6th Street SW) unless otherwise noted.  No registration is required with the exception of our English (ESL) Classes. 

These programs include 1 hour of exercise instruction, followed by 1 hour of self-directed hobbies/games and social time or a special presentation on the last Thursday of each month. For social time, feel free to bring your own hobbies, such as knitting, crafting, or art supplies, or just come to enjoy the complimentary coffee/tea and treats. We also have a small selection of board games, cribbage boards/cards and art supplies available.
