SENIOR ADULT WORKSHOPS

Everyone enjoys a performance but how about an acting workshop? Jim and Carol offer a 1 hour 20 min acting workshop (no experience necessary) providing a lot of laughter and learning. Carol has done this for the last 2 years with seniors at Wesley Village near her home. Or have a Scripture Reading Workshop that brings a lot of joy and energy as we learn to read from our true voice and make Scripture come alive.

"I highly recommend “Acts of Renewal” Jim and Carol Anderson Shores to any church group. Their fresh wit kept our 197 older adults laughing to the point of tears at our Annual Valentine Party of St. Simons United Methodist Church. Jim and Carol’s talent and strong Christian witness splashes a little joy and positive faith in the direction of those who need a FAITH-LIFT.”

- Rev. J. Don Proctor, Minister to Older Adults, St. Simons United Methodist Church, St. Simons Island, GA

"Carol and Jim communicate so significantly, yet joyfully a profound appreciation for and insight into the journey we name 'older age.' Seniors recognize themselves and identify with the characters portrayed, aspiring to carry faith forward into the years of fulfillment. Simply superb!"

- David Moore, Director, Department of Aging, Baptist State Convention of North Carolina

“They were real good.”

- Jim’s Great Aunt Ethel

“Tears of laughter and joy (even bittersweet acceptance at times) will flow when you see Jim and Carol perform their original material based on Biblical truths and the realities of aging. Carol’s scripts in particular consistently hit the mark as she bases them on hundreds of hours she spends in meaningful engagement with our residents at Wesley Village Senior Living Community. As one grateful participant in the Village Players phrases it, “the sketches we create together always ring true in your heart!”
