Although it is often an exciting and fulfilling time, it can also feel unfamiliar. That\u2019s particularly true for people who retire from full-time careers or who no longer spend the bulk of their time raising or supporting a family. As we age, we can learn that exploring our spiritual well-being is a way to renew our outlook on life, become more attuned to our place in the world, and benefit from the potentially restorative nature of life-affirming spiritual practices. Rev. Eklund comes alongside residents and employees as they explore questions of faith and seek a deeper spiritual walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our series that spotlights NC Conference pastors serving in extension ministries.
