Our Community Groups
Climbing Your Family Tree
Genealogy is a hobby
that can last a lifetime. It can be done
from home, at family reunions or on trips visiting places you or your family
used to live. Beginners will learn how to
get started, how to record and document your finds, and some of the pitfalls to
avoid. People already searching for ancestors can share their sources and
tips and discuss their "brick walls".
Hosted by Chris Eddy
When: First Wednesday each month
Time: 1:00PM - 3:00PM
Location: East Woods Church, Maple Room

Walkers & Talkers
Walking with others doesn’t feel like exercise! Join us for 2-5 mile walks - locations vary.
Sound like fun? Send an email to Peggy and we'll add you to the distribution for walk announcements and updates. If it’s too rainy, walks may be cancelled but we’ll keep you posted via email.
You should be able to walk a mile in 20 minutes. Expect some hills and gradients (ok a bit of exercise). Bring water and a snack if needed.
Co-Hosts Needed! We need co-hosts to alternate with Peggy so we can keep up our regular schedule. If you're interested, just send her and email or grab her after service.
Looking forward to seeing you on our walks!
