Finding Purpose in Retirement
Some retirees are thrilled with retirement and take great joy in their activities. But what if you aren't one of them? Maybe you you didn't want to retire, or you haven't figured out what God wants you to do in retirement. Join us as we seek God together in His Word and prayer and as we share with and encourage one another.
