Dear Church of the Apostles,

Tamara and I would like to extend an invitation to the mothers with adult children in our congregation to join us for 6 Wednesday evenings of prayer and listening this fall. 

Transitional seasons of life are often a mixed bag of celebration and disorientation; both tend to open us to opportunities for both reflection and growth. One transitional life stage represented broadly at Church of the Apostles is the season of releasing children into adulthood, sometimes known as the season of "empty nest".

How might we be able to encourage each other in this season of motherhood if we listened to God together for the ways He wants to lead, guide, and orient us to His call on our lives as mothers of adult children?

This fall, we're going to explore that question together with six gatherings of sharing and listening prayer. Our goal will not be to pray for our children (necessarily) but to pray for ourselves to be encouraged in what can sometimes be a season of unspoken concerns and burdens.

Join us September 5 & 19, October 3, 17 & 31, and November 14 from 6:30p – 8:00p at Karen Hutton’s in Trumbull, CT. Please rsvp to Jan Buchanan.

We are greatly looking forward to this time with each other and with the Lord.

Blessings.
Jan+
