STORIES AT CHESTNUT GROVE Neighboring: Jane Gildersleeve

“Our little cul de sac has been pretty stable for years with little change in resi-

dents. This spring, we had two families move out and two new families move in.

I was able to meet the couple next door quite easily as they were outside when I

arrived home…”

Check out the stories page to see how God was present in the act of Jane loving

her neighbor.

Chestnut Grove is comprised of amazing individuals. To hear and read some of their stories check out the Faith Stories page on our website: chestnutgrovebaptist.org. If you have a story you would like to share please contact Landon Collins.
