Social Action:
House Meetings in Process!
About 18 people
attended and Sam Silverman
facilitated. Everyone had a lot to say, once the
stories were told and we are looking forward to
the next one which will be on Wednesday, May
4th at 7:30 p.m. at a member's home (call 617-965-6862 for location).
Sam Silverman will again facilitate.
We look forward to seeing the folks who signed
up for May 4th. After we‟ve completed the
second house meeting, we will co-sponsor a review session with the Lutheran Church at which we will review the
two Shir Hadash themes that emerge from the two meetings and think about which issues are of most importance to our members and whether we can set up small "research‟ sub-groups to think about how to address these issues. The review meeting will be held on June 1 at the Church.
