Aging as Spiritual Practice

First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, inviting community conversation… Aging as Spiritual Practice with presenter, Rev. Anne Swallow Gillis Our culture inundates us with images of “successful retirement,” but the reality of a gradual decline before we die can seem daunting. How do we address some of the deeper emotional and spiritual challenges of growing older, with both humor and honesty? How might we think differently and engage spiritually in our own aging, no matter where we are on the adult life span? Come join the conversation!
