‘Age of Opportunity’ encourages congregations to see later life not as a problem but as a stage rich with possibilities. In an ageing society, many of our congregations are also getting older. Instead of viewing this as a challenge, this resource helps us appreciate the wisdom, faith and gifts older members bring to church life and witness.
Here you will find vision and practical ideas for ministry and evangelism among those in later life, helping churches to harness the opportunities of this season.
