Lynne coordinates our ROOTS small group ministry, and works as an advocate for those in need of care, including being the leader of GriefShare, and intentionally serving our Senior Connection Ministry.  Prior to joining the Orchard Staff, Lynne’s fondness for research led her to work in the biomedical and business fields. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University and is trained as a mental health first aider. Known as a life-long student, she is finishing a certification through Light University as a Christian Mental Health Coach with plans to continue her studies. She and her husband, Joe, have two young adult daughters. Adventure, sewing, crocheting, and reading are some of Lynne’s interests.
