Golden Gifts: Finding Grace in What We’ve Received
Saturday, December 13; 8:30 a.m. Hospitality, 9:00-10:30 a.m. Program
As we near the close of the year, Growing in Grace invites you to pause and reflect on the golden gifts & blessings that have touched your life — those moments of friendship, kindness, love, or quiet satisfaction that shimmer with meaning long after they’ve passed. To represent this, each participant will decorate a mini flowerpot with gold accents and then plant a succulent as a reminder that God’s love continues to grow in us, even in imperfect soil. You can keep this as a reminder of those moments of grace or give it as a gift.
Come join us for conversation, creativity, and Christmas blessings — a gentle time to remember that the unfailing love of Jesus still takes root and blooms within each of us.
In honor of the Christmas season, anyone interested is also invited to bring cookies, or other treats that you may want to share with the group.

With the coming of a new year, Growing in Grace invites you to breathe new life into your faith by exploring the Strengths and Spiritual Gifts that God has given you. What better way to discover what you can do to serve God in your golden years than by exploring the tools God gave you?
Whether or not you have previously taken Saint Clement’s Strengths and Spiritual Gifts courses, you will find this a fresh opportunity to learn and rediscover how your God-given talents and abilities help you grow into your golden years in faith.
Once you have registered you will receive background materials and instructions for completing Gallup’s CliftonStrengths™ Assessment and Saint Clement’s Gifts Inventory if you have not taken them within the last five years.
