How to handle the changes of later years with hope and dignity.
For all of us life is a journey. From the womb to the tomb, we journey through life creating relationships, forging memories and amassing possessions. The Bible says:
I will be your God throughout your lifetime – until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you Isaiah 46:4
For each one of us to continue to have a purpose and bear fruit is really important.
This course is designed to help us focus on the home straight and enable us to finish well.

One of the great gifts of Christian spirituality is its encouragement to pause, take a moment for thought and to reflect deeply on what matters most. The Omega Course does just this: it creates a space for us to pause and to think about later life and the story we want to tell through our days. I commend it to you. Jonathan Frost, Dean of York (formerly Bishop of Southampton)
