Let’s face it — moving into ‘life after 60’ is difficult. It’s hard to face changes to the life situations we’ve come to know. Still, God walks with us through every moment and this time of life can hold many opportunities!
This course is based on the Upper Room book Pilgrimage Into The Last Third of Life: 7 Gateways To Spiritual Growth by Jane Thibault and Richard Morgan. The authors represent a diversity of ‘last-third’ ages — Jane is a baby boomer and has only recently retired, while Richard has lived for several years in an assisted living facility. Through reflection on their own aging, the authors turn to scripture and whimsically ask; “What Would An Old Jesus Do?” Participants in this course will reflect on topics ranging from facing death, living with limitations, working internally on yourself and your faith, and leaving a legacy.
Students must have a copy of Pilgrimage Into The Last Third of Life: 7 Gateways To Spiritual Growth, by Jane Thibault and Richard Morgan for this course.
Eligible for 1.0 CEU.
