Lunch & Learn - Rightsizing for Comfort and Safety

Lunch & Learn - Rightsizing for Comfort and Safety

In connection with Sensational Seniors

Rightsizing is about creating a living situation that truly fits your current and future lifestyle needs. For many seniors, this may mean reorganizing or simplifying their current home, making important updates or adaptations to improve safety and accessibility, or even moving into a new home that better supports aging in place. Rightsizing isn’t always about downsizing — it’s about finding the “right size” and setup for your stage of life.

A light lunch will be served.

Our speaker for this event is Andriana Mendez, Co-Owner of Custom Moving Solutions and Founder of Sensational Seniors.

Cultivating Purpose in the Third Third of Life

Cultivating Purpose in the Third Third of Life

Join us at Saint Matthew Lutheran Church on Sunday, October 4, 2026 at 4:00 PM for an inspiring evening of reflection, community, and action as we explore how older adults can become a powerful force for justice, hope, and human flourishing in our world today.

We are honored to welcome Keynote Speaker Cynthia Moe-Lobeda — renowned theologian, ethicist, and author of Building a Moral Economy — for a timely and transformative conversation about addressing the moral complexities of our age, including climate change, democracy, global conflict, and economic injustice.

At Saint Matthew, we believe those in the “third-third” of life possess extraordinary wisdom, passion, resources, and capacity to shape a more just and compassionate world. Yet many wrestle with where to begin in the face of overwhelming global challenges.

This event is designed to inform, inspire, and equip participants with practical moral tools to move from paralysis to purposeful action — helping us all “live in ways that give rise to joy and flourishing for all.”

Come be part of a growing community committed to meaningful connection, spiritual depth, and faithful engagement with the world’s most urgent issues.

We hope you will join us for this catalytic evening of vision, courage, and hope.
