With “Boomers and beyond” as his target audience, Chris Pomfret, the treasurer and a board member of the Presbyterian Older Adult Ministries Network, led a webinar last week that helped Presbyterians in their “Third Thirty” — those 60 and older — to think about and hold conversations on what they hope to accomplish late in life. More than 60 people attended.
While many people in their “third thirty” face problems related to health, loneliness and the inevitable slowdown that aging brings on, one constant in their life — and for many people it continues to grow until they depart this earthly realm — is their spirituality.
There was at least one elephant in the room at Chris Pomfret’s workshop at the 2016 ARMSS/POAMN conference.
But an elephant could scarcely have fit into the packed meeting space, which nearly exceeded the room’s seating capacity with conference-goers eager to engage the workshop’s theme, “Making Our Third Thirty a Great Thirty: How to Make the Difficult Decisions.”
