 Thank you.
 

Temporary Housing Needed

A friend of our Redeemer family, needs to rent an apartment or carriage house for 3 months that's within 30 minutes of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, beginning in the next 3-5 weeks.  He will be receiving a bone marrow transplant and wants his wife and two children (ages 7 and 5) to stay with him during the treatment period, rather than being separated back home in NYC.  If anyone knows of such an opportunity, please contact Laurel or Erik Britt-Webb at family@britt-webb.net.
 
The Friday morning Bible Study Group is starting a new study on the book of Acts. Our group, which includes women outside of our parish, is seeking a more informed and deeper understanding of scripture using study guides. The reading assignments are not burdensome and the discussions are enthusiastic. Spiritual friendship and prayer compliment the Bible Study.  We meet Friday mornings from 9:30 - 11:00 at member's homes. Please consider joining us and call Tish Mead 617-566-5147 for directions.
