Aging in Grace

AGING IN GRACE

Every morning as I wake up to aches and pains, I am reminded that I am getting older. Soooo thankful for the resources of ALOA (Adult Lutherans Organized for Action) that provide information for individuals like me who are aging and congregations who care about older adults. Two free webinars are offered in August and more are planned. And you can go to the website for devotions, ideas for churches, and caregiver support.

Each webinar will be 60 minutes max. No charge.

• August 22, 2019 Webinar – Noon ET

  ALOA Executive Director Mark Schoepp will introduce participants to ALOA’s mission and strategy as well as walk through the “Blue Print for Ministry”. He will also review all the resources available to the local congregation through ALOA for strengthening ministry with and for older adults – both in the congregation and in the local community.

• August 28, 2019 Webinar –
  Seniors in Transition
  Mark Schoepp will interview Chrislyn Carson about “Seniors in Transition” – a resource to help older adults make pro-active decisions about one of the hardest decisions older adults face: where they will live in the later years of life. The discussion will go over the template to help congregations develop an interactive, 8-week class (for members and the community) that explores options for staying at home and for moving to a care facility.
