Though traditionally known as the group for the ’60 and up’ crowd, Second Act (formerly known as Sages) is a group of people within the church who are in the second half of life. We know that this half of life is no longer just about ‘retirement,’ and looks different for everyone – yet, there is a common desire to belong, to welcome others, to find connection and fellowship, and to continue learning and serving. Second Act offers opportunities to…

- Share meals and fellowship
- Learn from engaging speakers through our Second Act Speaker Series (formerly "Future is Now" luncheons)
- Stay connected to other ministries in the church through regular meetings
- Experience our wider community through day trips and special activities

Please join us at any of our events this year!
