You are invited to join others in exploring a subject we often feel reticent to face. Over 6 weekly sessions we will be led to think about what it means to each of us to 'age'. The course has been written by a retired consultant in geriatric medicine, and husband of a retired Diocese of Gloucester parish priest. Each session stands along, so come to one or all of them. Everyone is welcome to join. The course will run in our usual "Exploring the Bible for Today" slot.
