Ageism, Spirituality, and Older Adults
Day Retreat
Due to circumstances beyond the planning team's control, this event is being rescheduled to Fall 2023. The planning team is contacting everyone who registered to inform them of this change. We look forward to sharing the new date with you soon.
Join in a day of fellowship, learning, food, and worship as we explore the topics of ageism and spirituality.
The day begins with a continental breakfast, music, and a devotion. An informative keynote speaker and workshops follow. During lunch, make new friends from churches throughout POJ’s region. Learn what others are doing in their churches.
This event is for anyone who identifies as an “older adult” or those who minister to them. We welcome pastors, educators, elders, and all those interested in enhancing their spirituality and exploring ageism.
