Spirituality & Aging: The Path Ahead, 1/31—Join Pastor Ellen for an online group that will meet at 7 pm, the last Tuesday of each month, January thru June. Each season of life has its own challenges and gifts, and older adulthood can be a time rich in meaning making and self-discovery. Using the six-part series, The Path Ahead: Spirituality and Purpose in Later Life, participants will identify changing spiritual needs, equip themselves with new prayer practices, address issues of ageism, and discern God’s continuing call. For more information and/or to RSVP (for the link): pastor@cpcchurch.org.
