“In everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven…” Ecclesiastes 3

What is my vision for the next phase of life?

What will it be like to not have my identity tied up in what I do?

The Transition Retreat will help you to answer these questions and more. Led by retired Elder and Army Chaplain, Rev. Tom Carter, the retreat will help you re-imagine your identity, roles and relationships. Rev. Carter has led retreats to help hundreds of chaplains to make the transition from active duty to retirement and can help you, too.

The retreat uses  What Color is Your Parachute? for Retirement: Planning a Prosperous, Healthy and Happy Future, to discern an intentional path for a productive and joy-filled retirement.

Included in the retreat is a day-long finance seminar presented by the Peninsula-Delaware Conference Board of Pensions. 

If you are planning to retire in the next three to five years or have retired within the last two years, the Transition Retreat will help you to make the most of your retirement years.

Please register by February 3 to allow for time to receive the text in advance of the retreat.
