Resources: Menopause
The perimenopause and menopause are significant life stages for women – and those with whom they share their lives.
It is a time of great change, a time of loss – as well as a time that can contain much hope. Navigating this season with eyes on Christ can be tricky but, with the help of our church family, we can know the beauty of spiritual growth even while our body is struggling.
