Shepherd's Center of Topeka

Unique Programs

for Unique People! 

These could be the best years of your life: a time to learn new things; to experience new places; to meet new people.  Our program is designed especially for YOU, an adult 55 or older, to meet YOUR mental, physical, spiritual and social needs.

Shepherd's Center of Topeka (SCT), a/k/a "Adventures in Learning," a nonprofit ministry, is sponsored by 26 congregations and 16 community partners.  Each sponsor is committed to our mission: many donate time, talent, money, or food -- and all promote us in the community.  We are considered an extension of each sponsoring church's "fellowship ministry" and an extension of "services provided for seniors" by our sponsoring community partners. Together we're able to provide one fantastic program for YOU.

SCT is hosted at 3033 SW MacVicar Avenue, Topeka, Kansas, 66611. Click HERE for answers to frequent questions, as well as the pages listed under site navigation in the left-hand menu bar.  For additional information, contact the Executive Director, Debra Stufflebean, at 785-267-0248 or by email: shepherdstopeka@yahoo.com.

Adventure's in Learning - WINTER 2012 Session will be February 3, 10, 17 and 24.  Newsletters/Programs will be mailed the first week of January, 2012.

Hand & Foot - Hand & Foot is an easy card game similar to canasta. The SCT group meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at sponsoring church Trinity Presbyterian, 21st and Sims, from 2-4:00.  First timers are always welcome as it is easy to learn and plenty of folks willing to teach you.  For more information, contact Jeannine Tatum, 234-6772.  People do NOT have to attend "Adventure's in Learning" to participate - although we hope new friendships might lead to that! 

First Monday's with Debra - Is a Book Study & Discussion Group - The 2012 group is studying "The Gift of Years" by Joan Chittister .
