  4.    Outdoor Activities (gather for walks, bike rides, etc.
We also have a Single Adult Leadership Team in place with eight members: Ben Hard, Dee Couch, Jean Jennings, Judy Wiseman, Mary Kapka, Joni Kimsey, Denise Ray and Richard Frederick.

From the moment life begins we find ourselves letting go; friends, schools, jobs, parents, dreams, etc. It’s not always easy saying goodbye for goodbyes mean loss and loss is often accompanied by grief. We choose some of life’s losses when we move, end a relationship or change jobs. But in other situations, loss and the grief that shadows it is difficult, for it is not our choice. Jay will reflect on what our faith has to say when grief gets the best of us.
