I'm really sorry that you are having this conflict. It is difficult trying to be sensitive to your dad's needs and wants while at the same time not imposing your personal feelings into the mix. I agree with Jerrymichele's suggestion that you are perfectly justified in requesting that the church propose senior activities to you before presenting them to your father. You are the one who has the perspective of all of the factors that need to be considered before a decision can be made as to whether or not it would be wise for him to consider participating.
Not that you asked for my opinion, but that example you gave where the church group wouldn't let you accompany your father on the trip to Branson seemed ridiculous. If he had an Assistive Dog, would he have to leave it behind because then everyone would want to bring their dog? (Please understand that I am not comparing you to a dog!) I am simply saying that the logic seems to be along the same lines.
I hope you can convince them that they are causing problems by doing what they're doing and they need to run it by you first.
