God calls people in all seasons into a life of fullness and wholeness. This includes Baby Boomers, those who now find themselves in the second half of life, many of whom are searching for meaning and purpose, as well as greater fulfillment spiritually. This thesis project therefore aims to help Boomers discover their Christian vocation and equip them to live full and purposeful lives. Through the development of an educational intervention tested at Siloam United Church, this project aims to reach out to Boomers in our community. Its purpose is five¬fold: first, it seeks to help Boomers discover their Christian story. Secondly, it attends to the needs of Boomers by helping them to transition from the first half of life to the second half of life, including marking this transition ritually. Thirdly, it helps Boomers to discern their calling, biblically and theologically, and assists them in reclaiming the vision of St. Paul in I Corinthians 4:1. Fourthly, this project attempts to engage Boomers in meaningful ministry, including Christian vocation and service. Finally, it is the goal of this project to help Boomers understand the significant legacy they have to share, while exploring ways that they can become mentors and keepers of meaning who pass down their faith and wisdom to the next generation.
