Our Mission Statement:
AUTUMN SAINTS is a Christ-centered organization whose mission is to provide written and
web-based resources on mid- to later life spirituality. These Bible based
materials are designed for use in safe and supportive small groups located in
local churches, retirement centers, or nursing homes.
Each study includes the study of Scripture with study questions, probing
insightful questions of a personal nature to journal, group discussion
questions, additional group and individual activities, a bibliography of
recommended reading on the topic and links to web resources. A companion book is
suggested for each unit.
These studies encourage
discussion of issues that are current and of primary interest to those in the
autumn years of their lives.
