👟 Fellowship Walk: Middlesex Greenway (Metuchen)

A breath of fresh air and a fresh start to the weekend.
Join us for a mid-winter morning of fresh air, light exercise, and easygoing company as we walk the Middlesex Greenway. This is a low-stress, low-pressure way to get outdoors and meet new people from the NJ Christian Singles community.

Since it's the first Saturday in Lent, it’s a great time to hit the "reset" button, step away from the screens, and enjoy a simple walk with friendly folks.

• Approximate Address: 675 Middlesex Ave, Metuchen, NJ 08840
• Parking: Off road parking is available right at the trailhead on a grassy field. If the trailhead lot is still snow-covered or overly muddy, additional parking may be found at the nearby Whole Foods parking lot.
• Public Transit: For those taking the NJtransit train, the trailhead is a short 0.5-mile walk from the Metuchen NJ Transit Train Station. The NJtransit 810, 813, and 819 busses stop within easy walking distance of our starting point.

🚶THE WALK
Middlesex Greenway is a fully paved, almost completely flat trail—perfect for easy conversation.

• The Plan: We will walk out for about 30 minutes and then head back, covering roughly 2–3 miles depending on the group's pace.
• Pace: Very relaxed! This isn't a power walk; it's a social walk.
• Terrain: Paved, accessible, and almost flat.

🍔 AFTER-WALK LUNCH
For those who want to warm up and keep the conversation going, we’ll head over to the Metuchen Diner (338 Lake Ave) for lunch, coffee, or a quick snack after we finish our loop.
