Have you ever noticed that some people are living vital years past the time most people would call them “productive” ones?
What do they have that you may like to have also?
In Sister Joan Chittister’s book called: “The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully”, Chittister writes about life beyond its physical dimension to its spiritual development. In our time together we will discover the mental and spiritual attitudes we bring to the challenges we face as we transition from one decade to another. We must be, in the words of writer Parker Palmer, willing to let go of the life we have planned in order to have the life that is waiting for us.
Would you like to dive more deeply into exploring how each stage of life brings with it its own purpose?
Please join me and our Inspirit Team as we unpack this book starting Tuesday September 10th from 2-3 pm in the Arnold Room at Trinity United Church.
This book study will continue weekly until Tuesday October 8th. Please let me or Suzy, in the office, know if you would like to be part of this book group. It may be a good idea to get a jump on your reading while there are still some summer days to do so. This inspirational and illuminating book encourages us to surmount our fears of getting older and find our meaning and joy in aging well.
You can buy this book on Amazon or maybe pick it up at your local bookstore or library. Again, the book is called: “The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully”
Hope you can join us on this spiritual journey of embracing our senior years and all the challenges and gifts they bring to us.
Blessings, Rev. D
