The Caregiving Season - Loving Well Through Life's Most Tender Chapter. | Room 2107
| Caring for aging loved ones is one of the most meaningful—and often most challenging—journeys we face. It can stretch our time, emotions, and resources, often becoming the longest season in family life. In this class, we’ll explore how to honor our parents in light of Scripture, care for them with compassion, and also care for ourselves along the way. We’ll also unpack the practical realities—financial, legal, and emotional—of walking with loved ones through their later years. Join us for wisdom, encouragement, and real-life tools from: Elizabeth Harris, Director of Adult Ministry & Community Care; Cypress Garrett, Stephen Ministry Leader; and Steve Cox, Elder and Attorney. *Class offered: May 4 through 25 (4 weeks). |
