Jerry was excited to make this presentation to Brian of a special sign he made commemorating their recent trip to Wilderness Trail (wtrail.com), near Troutdale, VA. Brian often leads mountain backpacking trips for both homeless and housed, and many in our community look forward to these special events. Wilderness Trail is the brainchild of the Rob Blackburn family (Rob is senior pastor of Central UMC), and has provided both physical and spiritual nourishment for countless youth and adults for many years. According to their mission statement, “… as we lose ourselves in the care of our neighbor we may find our true selves.”
