What are Eldering Ministries?

Eldering Ministries embody a fresh vision for the last decades:

one that welcomes fresh opportunities in our final years

when we look back with gratitude, and forward with anticipation.

This ministry dares to change a time-honored noun, Elder, into a verb-form: Eldering.  Have you done any Eldering today?   Discovered, cultivated or shared wisdom, been surprised by joy?

Eldering Ministries address the spiritual agenda for the last decades. Rather than lamenting our last decades with apology or disguising it with humor, it celebrates the gift of old age.

Rev. Ray Welles leads the Harvesting a Lifetime group on Wednesdays at 1:00 p.m. in Room 9. All are welcome!
