“The Gift Of Years, Growing Older Gracefully,” by Joan Chittister
Hosted by Deacon Patti Brown on Thursdays at 2pm on Zoom
Starting Thursday, October 15
Please RSVP

Deacon Patti would like to invite our more seasoned members to join with her in a study of Joan Chittister’s book, “The Gift of Years, Growing Older Gracefully.” She writes…

“Dear Church Of The Apostles Family,

Perhaps you, like me, have found social distancing to be a challenge and a blessing at the same time.  Long prayer walks, movies, participating in online offerings from our church, chats with cherished friends, and Zoom gatherings have opened new horizons and presented fresh ideas to contemplate.

However, there comes a time when this routine becomes a bit stale and we begin missing our Church Of The Apostles smiling faces.  I’d like to invite you to join me on Zoom on Thursday afternoons from 2 o’clock to 3 o’clock to chat about the wonderful book, “The Gift Of Years, Growing Older Gracefully,” by Joan Chittister. A dear friend gifted me with my copy years ago and I’m reading it afresh for the fourth time.

Helen Prejeen, author of Dead Men Walking, endorses the book as one “brimming with insight, pluck, verve, and courage---and trust that finally in God’s love, “all will be well.”

“It’s the best book I have read on the subject of aging, a dazzling work radiant with gems of insight on every page.” - Andrew Greeley of The Great Mysteries.

Lamb Center Volunteer, Tim O’Connor writes: “The Gift Of Years, (for me), does what it sets out to do: it helps us recognize, appreciate, and use during our senior years the gifts God has been cultivating in us throughout our lives.”

The book is available on Amazon and is a keeper! Order one for yourself and invite a friend to join us.

If you’d like to give our Zoom gathering a try or have any questions, please RSVP pattibrown@thelambcenter.org. Our Book Club will begin on Thursday, October 15th.  

I hope to “see” you soon,

Warmly In God’s Love,

Patti Brown
