Greetings!
Come see community member Matt Meyer lead one his Rhthym Revelations worships at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Sharon, MA on Sunday June 6th. Email anniedfox@gmail.com if you want a ride to services. Matt’s worships provide a dynamic and varied experience of rhythm’s enduring power to teach us about ourselves and each other. When the congregation is wrapped up in the sounds of the drum, fully absorbed in the readings or moved to their feet by inspired group rhythm-making, there is a magic that happens… community is cultivated. Matt’s worships allow the participants to feel the congregation as a community of music makers, working, playing, and tapping into something that truly brings a feeling of wholeness to those gathered in this spirit of profound worship.
Once again, we’d like to invite you to join us for Moishe Kavod’s 3rd Annual Community Retreat on June 18-20 at the Barbara C. Harris Camp & Conference Center in Greenfield, New Hampshire. The deadline for early bird registration has been extended until June 4th! Register Today at http://www.kavodhouse.com/resources/community-building/summer-retreat-2010/. Whether you are a Kavod regular or want to get to know the community better, this retreat is for you. It will be a fabulous opportunity to spend more than just a Shabbat evening together, have fun, spend time on a lake, get out of Boston and create a community vision for moving forward. Space is limited so register to ensure a spot. The cost of the retreat is $40 for current members and $60 for non-members (who will automatically become members for the remainder of the year at a discounted rate by coming on the retreat); after June 4th registration will cost $45/$65. Carpooling available. Contact retreat co-chairs Lisa Sturtz at lnsturtz@gmail.com or Mimi Arbeitmimi@ahkx.com with any questions.
We are excited to report that Governor Deval Patrick, who is running for re-election, is coming to Moishe/Kavod House! This is a real tribute to our community and the power of our work, and we hope you can make it. At the meeting, we will be sharing our community mission and values with Governor Patrick, as well as some of our key campaigns, and building a relationship with him to build our power and work together towards the progressive goals that we share. Space will be limited, so sign up while there is still room! In the meantime, on Thursday June 3rd we will be holding a special meeting to strategize and plan for Governor Patrick’s upcoming visit. You are invited to think about how we will frame this important opportunity to share our work and vision; strengthen our public profile and community relationships; and use this event to leverage our ability to do powerful work in the future. RSVP’s for both the meeting and the event itself can be sent to moishehouseboston@gmail.com.
Until Later,
Alix, Annie, Margie, and Michelle
