We are excited to host the entire Gloria Dei community for a delicious brunch of breakfast sandwiches. Meet up with old friends and make some new, all while enjoying some great food!
Date: Sunday, November 13, 2022
Time: begin serving at 11:15am and continue as EpicOneEight service ends
Place: Garden Lounge
After you have enjoyed brunch..... you're invited to join us for
The Sandwich Generation Milestone - in the Fireside Room from 12:15-1:30pm
Do you find yourself coming to terms with the reality that your parents, who cared for you, now need your care? Are you, at the same time, caring for your children or grandchildren? If this is you–you’re not alone!
Today, we will be recognizing the milestone of being in “The Sandwich Generation”. You are invited to join others like yourselves as we celebrate (yes, celebrate!) this milestone in your life. Beth Krolak, our Care and Connections Coordinator, will lead as you meet with others and share life stories, and we will share a blessing for your role as a caring child/parent/grandparent. We’ll send you home with a gift to remember and share what we experience together.
About Adult Milestones at Gloria Dei
Imagine you are on a hike, making your way up the side of a hill.
You are enjoying the view of a mountain in the distance as it is hit by the early morning sun.
But with every switchback the clouds change, the vantage point shifts, the sun moves, and the mountain somehow looks different. The mountain hasn’t changed or moved, but you have.
At Gloria Dei we are beginning to mark “Adult Milestones.” These are significant times in our lives when we are navigating a life change such as retirement, caring for aging parents, or becoming an “empty nester.” These are not merely one time life events, but represent a process of moving into a new life stage. Think of it as a milestone hike, your vantage point will likely shift or move even as you are still moving through it.
We have designed our Adult Milestones to be the kind of events you can keep coming back to over time. As you navigate a new season in life, you will have much to share with others, and some things to learn too. Together with a group of people you can navigate the switchbacks, grow on the journey, and appreciate some new views and insights. We hope you will join us on one of our milestone journeys!
