February:
Query: Caring for One Another and Listening
How can we most effectively foster a loving and understanding attitude in our community? What helps me to listen deeply and with an open heart to others? When is it hardest for me to be ready to listen? How do we share in the diverse joys and transitions in each other's lives? In challenging or stressful times, how open am I to seeking support from the Meeting community?
Social Concerns Box
The February Social Concerns Box is for Thanksgiving in February, a project of Interfaith Works of Montgomery County, to raise money for hunger relief programs, including Bethesda Help, Bethesda Cares, the Manna Food Center, and Shepherd's Table. You can also contribute by dining out at participating restaurants on Tuesday, February 23. For more details: contact Julie Kirby at 301-315-1092 or
