Publisher's Synopsis
Long life is both a blessing and a challenge. The Gift of Years celebrates the rewards of longer life, but doesn't underestimate the difficulties either. The Gift of Years is supported, resourced and enabled by The Bible Reading Fellowship (BRF). Led by Debbie Thrower, it is encouraging churches to think afresh about their ministry among older people - both in their congregation and also in the wider community. As society struggles to meet the needs of an ageing population, The Gift of Years signposts ways in which our later years can become more rewarding. This 30-minute DVD tells the story of Anna Chaplaincy - part of The Gift of Years, the latest initiative from BRF whose overall aim is 'resourcing your spiritual journey'. The Gift of Years emphasises the intrinsic worth of all people, regardless of age, and seeks to enable men and women in their later years to lead more fulfilled lives.
