To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
—Ecclesiastes 3:1
The years 55 and over mean different things to different people. Some are still at the peak of their careers. Others are enjoying retirement or an encore career. Living Bolder exists to enrich the lives of Cornerstone’s members at this stage of life through dynamic opportunities for Connection, Growth and Service.
These are the wise years where we have much to offer to adult children, grandchildren, and the younger members of our church and community. It is a time of transitions and awakening to new discoveries and new opportunities.
Living Bolder is Cornerstone’s special ministry for men and women in this age group, and is focused on three areas:
Connection: We have social events throughout the year—dinners, brunches,
games, outings—to create pathways for connection and fellowship that will draw
us together for mutual encouragement, shared insight, and pure fun.
Growth: We will offer opportunities for learning, recreating, and sharing. Our
ability to learn, discover, explore, and recreate is what helps us to continually
reinforce a sense of meaning and connection to God’s creation. And it’s super-
healthy for mind, body, and soul!
Service: We look to serve others in meaningful ways—at Cornerstone, in our
community, and even around the world. Serving can mean anything: service
projects, volunteering, preparing meals, spending time with those in need—any
way to lift a helping hand together to those who will benefit from our extra time,
wisdom, and acquired experience.
Dinner for 8
Build Deeper Community One Meal at a Time
If you are looking for a way to get to know those in your community in a more intimate setting, Dinner for 8 is what you’re looking for! Sharing a meal together, listening to others’ stories, and building friendships in a casual setting is what this program is about. Participants (singles and couples) will take turns hosting and setting the menu, and 4 dinners will be scheduled over the next 4-6 months. We invite you to participate whether you are single or married, new or have been coming to Cornerstone for years!
How do I sign up? Fill out the online registration form here. One individual or couple will be assigned to be the first host who will contact you to arrange the details (date, time, and menu) for your first Dinner for 8.
How are the Dinner for 8 groups formed? People will be randomly assigned to a group based on answers to the questions on the registration form (geographic location is the first parameter).
If you have any questions or need help registering, please contact Kelley Ward at livingbolder@cornerstoneboulder.org
