Description

On Sunday, October 31, at 5 pm in the Edwards Church sanctuary, we will be hosting Songs At The Heart Of Our Times: Bringing Hope And Uplifting Community Through Music. Recognizing that there is so much in our world today that weighs heavy on our hearts, a group of musicians are collaborating on a special show to offer hope, uplift and provide a renewed sense of community through music. Musicians include Kemp Harris, Linda Marks, Willie Sordillo, Doug Rich, Zoe Krohne and Mark Shilansky. The concert is a fundraiser for two organizations that fight food insecurity—one local, one global. Our local partner is A Place to Turn, a choice food pantry in Natick that takes pride in offering its Metrowest clients a friendly and dignified experience. They offer emergency food, diapers and personal care products. We are also supporting the Community Building for Food Sovereignty Project of the Organization of African Instituted Churches. This project works with small rural churches and farmers’ groups in East Africa to train Farmer Resource People who work with local farmers to develop sustainable farming practices with drought-resistant crops. There is no charge to attend the concert; we hope participants will donate generously to support these two organizations. Donations can be made at the event, at www.edwardschurch.org (be sure to put "concert" in the memo). Sponsors include: Edwards Church, Open Spirit, Just Peace Players, Community Chaplaincy Council, Greater Framingham Community Church, Temple Beth Am, Temple Beth Sholom, Jewish Family Services, First Parish UUA Framingham, The Plymouth Church, Faith Community Church, Community of St. Luke, St. Andrews Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church in Sudbury.
