Worship Anew has launched a new service to allow aging adults to call in on their telephone to hear the “Worship Anew” program each week.

Worship Anew’s mission is to engage and equip aging adults with resources to live a full and abundant life in Jesus Christ. But, for those who have poor eyesight, watching the program can be difficult. The program that is available on the call-in service will have enhanced audio description to make understanding the program easier.

The service also allows anyone, anywhere to hear the program, regardless of local broadcast availability or internet access.

“At Worship Anew, we want to make it possible for every person to hear the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Thus, we’re grateful to remove any barriers that aging adults may have to hearing God’s Word shared,” said Matthew Leighty, executive director. “Many older adults do not have reliable internet access or the ability to navigate digital platforms. Others have vision impairments that make viewing screens difficult or simply prefer the familiarity and simplicity of listening to ‘Worship Anew’ on a traditional telephone. This system makes it extremely easy for aging adults to hear the comforting message of God’s Word each week, regardless of their circumstances.”

The program is available to hear by calling the Worship Anew office at (888)286-8002 and selecting the program from the menu options or dialing the call-in service directly at (260)440-8476. Listeners will be prompted to press any key or say “Play” to begin.

Additionally, Worship Anew also provides closed captioning for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, ensuring that the spoken words and messages are clearly visible on the screen. This feature is available on TV stations nationwide, online, and through the Worship Anew app, making the program accessible in multiple formats. During hymns, subtitles are displayed, allowing everyone to follow along with the lyrics and join in singing the dearly loved hymns.

The call-in service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing listeners to access spiritual comfort and God’s Word whenever they need it most. The newest program will be available by Friday each week.

“We hope that aging adults will find comfort in hearing of the love of Christ as shared in God’s Word,” Leighty said.
