👟 Fellowship Walk: Middlesex Greenway (METUCHEN)

A refreshing start to the weekend with good company & fresh air.
After our successful winter and early spring outings, we’re shifting to a morning schedule to enjoy the best of the May weather. This walk falls on the eve of Pentecost (May 24th), making it a wonderful time to gather for some "spirit-renewing" movement and fellowship.
