A companion for that journey
|
Traveling the third third of life can be both a joy and a challenge. The journey can be exciting and intimidating, exhilarating and unnerving, inspiring and bewildering. It can propel a person into new possibilities or stop folks in their tracks. Whether you are on this journey or you are walking alongside someone who is navigating this stage of life, we hope that the opportunities, information, and resources you will find on this website will serve as a helpful traveling companion.

If you missed our most recent Art & Aging program--or would like to see it again--the recording is now available. Our featured artist was the exceptional poet Stephen Hollaway, who served as pastor of Harbor Church on Block Island prior to his retirement. In addition to reading a number of his poems, Steve reflected on the connection between poetry and the spiritual life and suggested poets whom others might enjoy. (Click here for that list of poets.) |
Programs for ChurchesWorkshops, retreats, training,
and other programs on a variety of topics related to aging are available to congregations in our region. Programs include Talking About Your Wishes (conversations related to end-of-life planning); Finding a New Sense of Balance (looking for a new normal in retirement and beyond); Embracing Ministry with Older People (new ideas for congregations), and The Spiritual Gifts of Aging. |
