I attend a "senior" church, I am considered one of the kids there and I just turned 70. We have many late 80's and 90's and some so close to 100 they can smell it.
However this year is not starting out well. So far we have lost 5, 100-92 in age. We know it is an older church and life happens but 5 in 2 1/2 months is too much. The congregation feels the loss and what it means for the future. There are a couple I feel will be adding to the list before summer.
We hit 200 years in 2038 and I have to wonder if we will still be here in 12 years.
Soak up all the stories, history, etc you can from the seniors because before you know it you will be on that list.
