Retirement: A Time of Transition and Change

TRAINING COURSE Retirement: A Time of Transition and Change

TOPIC Personal Development

SUB-TOPIC A major life transition 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Like transitioning to adulthood, marriage, parenting, or cross-cultural living and working, transitioning to retirement can be made smoother with some pre-event reflection and preparation. Staff can usually find enough information and guidance for the financial aspects of retirement, so this course attempts to help people think through the geographical, social, emotional, activity, and identity changes that come with retirement.

Life is a gift from God. Each person is made in the image of God, and has value and worth as God’s image bearer. God is our Creator. We are created by Him to bring Him glory and to enjoy our relationship with Him. God is building His Kingdom and invites us to participate with Him in the building process. The main purpose of one’s life at every age is to be all about God. Retirement, just like every other stage of life, is to be God-focused. How can one have an impact for God’s Kingdom in retirement?

This course is designed to help you consider how retirement will affect your life. You will find information about a variety of topics, and questions for you to apply the topics to your situation. Feel free to skip around and look at the topics in any order.
