I learned a lot at my first church down there in Sarasota, Florida: old folks — and I am one of them now — are very pragmatic, just worry about the things I can control; always do one thing at a time and do it well; I'll never live long enough to be an expert; afternoon naps are better than aerobics, my wife is smarter than I'll ever be; throw something away or give it away before I buy anything new; never tell a lie unless I have a great memory; all sermons are great if I love my congregation and visit them regularly, and it's amazing how much I learn when I shut my mouth and listen. Since most of what I write is open-ended, you may add your own thoughts. I'll bet you have some humdingers.
