Overview
The Golden Circle has a calendar of events scheduled for each month. On the second Tuesday of each month the Golden Circle meets for a pot luck meal, program, and to conduct business if needed. The Associate Minister helps coordinate some of the group activities. In addition a president and vice president are selected each year for group leadership. Committees are formed as needed and do things such as propose the annual calendar of events, help with the Senior Adult Rally advertising, etc.
A typical month of Golden Circle activities will include lunch together on the 2nd Tuesday, breakfast together on the fourth Monday, and a day trip to some place of interest. The Golden Circle’s annual calendar helps people plan their involvement.
Twice a year a multi-day trip is planned. These trips provide opportunities for fun, fellowship, and periods of devotion to God.
The Golden Circle’s “marching orders” are captured in Colossians 3:23 (KJV) “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.“ The annual calendar includes social as well as spiritual activities. The Golden Circle recognizes its responsibility to lead by example. Therefore, our fellowship, service, and worship will be done “heartily:”

Second Tuesday Luncheon
This monthly luncheon is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. and is usually completed by 12:45 p.m. The program includes sharing birthdays and anniversaries of Golden Circle members, announcements of upcoming events, and a program. The programs cover topics of interest to this age group and have covered the spectrum from funny to educational to informative to spiritual. Annually, Golden Circle members volunteer to coordinate one of the luncheons. Their responsibility includes getting a program, decorating the Annex where the luncheons are held, and providing bread and drinks for the lunch.
Fourth Monday Breakfast
Unless “special arrangements” have been announced, the Golden Circle meets at the Front Porch Restaurant at 9:00 a.m. on the fourth Monday of each month for breakfast. Occasionally, this breakfast will be at a Golden Circle member’s house or at another local restaurant.
Day Trips
The Golden Circle targets to have one group activity per month in addition to the Luncheon and Breakfast. On an annual basis, monthly day trips are planned. Examples of trips that have been made include: · Antique Car Museum in Tupelo with a meal at Cracker Barrel. · Lamberts (home of “throwed” rolls) in Sikeston, MO. · Shiloh Park & Catfish Hotel. · Lunch at Pickwick Inn. · Visit to Loretta Lynn Ranch with lunch at Loretta Lynn Restaurant · Cookouts at members’ homes Multiple Day Trips Multiple day trips have been made to Pigeon Forge, Branson, Nashville, Vicksburg, North Georgia and South Georgia. A trip to eastern Kentucky is planned for October 2011. Each day of these trips includes both fun and devotional activities. The cost is a member responsibility. The Booneville congregation does provide transportation.
Spiritual Activities & Mission Trips
The Golden Circle has a goal to be involved in at least one campaign per year. In 2007 that campaign was in Booneville. In 2008, the campaign was in Lumberton, MS. The 2009 & 2010 campaigns were cooperative efforts with the Booneville Youth to Indianola, MS and Tylertown, MS respectively. The 2011 campaign was in Campbell, Missouri. We have attended Senior Adult Rallies in Henderson,TN, Columbia, TN, and Southaven, MS. In addition Booneville host a Senior Adult Rally the fourth Saturday in August. . Golden Circle members are an integral part of the other programs of work of the Booneville congregation. You will find Golden Circle members teaching Bible classes, active in the Jail Ministry, participating in the Caring Cooks (meal preparation and delivery), helping with nursing home devotionals, making mission trips to Guyana, leading the Food Pantry effort, and active participants in the prayer ministry of this congregation.
