    We are a very new group. My pastor asked me to lead the group after we had yet another young woman lose her husband. I was widowed 9 years ago and have known my pastor and his wife for MANY years (I graduated from high school with his wife), but they have only been my pastors for about 3 years. We started this group in February and are currently reaching about 6 young(ish) widows...all too young to have lost a husband. I joined your lifeboat group to see what sorts of things other widows ask. I feel somewhat ill-equipped to deal with this ministry, but I know that those the Lord calls, He equips!
