In Memory of Timothy Zalent
We recently learned of the death of Timothy Zalent. Tim was a frequent visitor to church for many years, and a fixture at our produce sales. He talked to everyone, and always had something interesting to share. He was a neighborhood resident, and showed great concern for our neighbors who struggled, physically or financially, and reached out in friendship to the homeless individuals who have appeared on our doorstep. Tim helped us to remember and ponder the many, and sometimes uncomfortable, ways in which we are called to treat our fellow human beings with dignity and love. He will be missed in the neighborhood and AUCC community.
