Bridges of Belonging: Living with Purpose through Life’s Transitions

The “BRIDGES OF BELONGING” event will take place this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at Pennington United Methodist Church. We warmly invite community members to join us for the third event in the “Bridges of Belonging” series that will focus on living with purpose through life’s transitions, exploring topics such as finding meaning, life through transition, and continuing to serve others. We are honored to welcome Joe Lawver, former Mayor of Pennington and current Director of the Hopewell Valley Mobile Food Pantry, as our guest speaker. Joe’s journey—shifting from civic leadership to impactful community service—offers a powerful example of how, in every chapter of life, we can continue to make a meaningful and lasting impact. His work with the food pantry demonstrates a life of purpose-driven leadership, and we believe his story will inspire all of us, especially those navigating major life transitions, retirement, or the changes that often accompany aging.
