Who: Xers & Boomers, retirees, and empty nesters, along with others who want to be active. Friends are welcome.
Why: We, individually and collectively, want to “make a difference” for the sake of God’s Kingdom and for the flourishing of our world.
What: We seek to energize and mobilize our people and our generation to find ways to offer significant love, wise influence and generous involvement—and to experience joy in the process. There are 3 elements—community, inspiration, and involvement.
Schedule: We meet together (in-person and via Zoom) six Friday evenings a year, and also in smaller clusters, such as serving at Salvation Army’s Christmas Castle, or sending service project team to Guatemala, or other Meetups, for walks or picnics. (See schedule below)
