Softball Team
We are fielding a softball team for the Boston Metro Church Softball League again this summer. Games are played Saturday mornings, starting June 7th through August/September. It is a fun way to fellowship with members of the greater Boston Church community, and spectators are more than welcome. If you are interested in playing (or spectating!), please contact Owen Andrews (joandrews33@gmail.com) to be added to the mailing list.
Housing Needed
Housing Needed: Might you know of a housing opportunity for a kind, responsible 28 y/o Afghan man with good English? He worked for the US Embassy in Kabul, escaped the Taliban and is now an MBA student at UMass. He is hoping to rent a room with a host family, or any one willing to rent a room to him. His dream is to provide financial literacy training to Afghans and other US immigrants. He has already significantly helped an Afghan family that a church group has supported since the exodus from Kabul in 2021. If you may know of a housing opportunity, please contact Barb Ludwig (friend of CTK member Jeanie Carson), at bbludwig@comcast.net or 978-502-3204.
