This weekly group will resume on Tuesday, January 3 at 2:00 p.m. in the Vestry Room. Through April 4, they will read Joan Chittister’s, The Gift of Years, and explore what it means to “embrace older age as a natural part of life that is both active and contemplative, productive and reflective, and deeply rewarding.” In her writing, seminars and lectures, Sr. Joan focuses on spirituality and justice for all people, especially women and the poor. The readings for the first class this week are the chapters on Ageism, Agelessness, Accomplishment and The Present.  Books are available in the bookstore. All women are welcomed.
