We are regretfully cancelling our Collaborative “Evening for Women” program scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday, November 8) due to the low numbers of RSVPs for the event.
We are looking forward to rescheduling our speakers, the Reverends Kate Layzer and Alex Steinert-Evoy, who will share with us about Friday Café (a ministry to those experiencing homelessness in Cambridge, MA) at a later date.
All women of the Collaborative are invited to gather to learn about the “Angels Among Us” who oversee The Friday Café at First Church Cambridge. Rev. Kate Layzer, Minister of Street Outreach, and Alex Steinert-Evoy, Community Minister, will share the work they do at this weekly, daytime drop-in program. The Friday Café offers a welcoming space where homeless and housed adults can gather and get to know each other. Serving an average of 150 guests a week (or as many as 300 on winter Fridays), it offers food, coffee, rest and resources to people living on the margins.
Reflection and presentation will be followed by a pot-luck dinner. RSVP to Carolyn Anderson at andersoncarolyn@verizon.net or 617-705-0456
