Judy Kale - Congregational Care Director
As the COVID-19 pandemic began impacting our local community, Judy knew she needed to reach out to her church family even more than before. As a retired administrative assistant at Wichita Public Schools (where she worked for 27 years), Judy's knack for caring for others made her a perfect fit in a role designed to pray for and support our church congregation. She loves Riverside and its members, and has been attending since 2008.
