Golden Years
New Perspectives
Ageing is a process that we all cannot avoid. Yet, many are not prepared and for some, it can be rather daunting.
Making Your Golden Years Turn Golden, a workshop launched recently and organised for Church of the Holy Spirit from 18 November – 9 December 2022. More than 40 participants, including those nearing retirement or have retired, attended the workshop.

Overall, response to the workshop had been positive. Many found the sessions insightful, especially the small group discussions.
