Ageism, Spirituality, and Older Adults
June 1, 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Join in a day of fellowship, learning, food, and worship exploring 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.
