Volunteer Opportunity

The Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston cares for patients who can no longer live at home and need long-term chronic care in a hospital setting, many of whom are in the advanced stages of a long-term illness and are approaching the end of life. The Hebrew Rehab Center is looking for Compassionate Care Volunteers to provide additional one-on-one comfort and support. Volunteers can make a difference in a patient’s life in just an hour per week, with the gift of companionship, reading, listening to music, conversing, looking at photographs or just offering a hand to hold—it can make a world of difference! Volunteer training classes will begin in September! If you’re interested in this opportunity, please contact Michelle Perry. Please note, the Hebrew Rehab Center is not affiliated with CTK in any way, but reached out to several groups in the community to find volunteers for their program. If you’d like to coordinate volunteering with other CTK members, email Laura Bullock.

Songs on Website

Samples of the songs for Sunday’s worship service are posted on the website by the Wednesday before the service, along with the bulletin and the Scripture passage for the week. This is a great way to prepare for the service, especially for children who will be joining us during the service for the summer rather than being dismissed for Children’s Worship. We encourage attenders of all ages to avail themselves of this resource.

Looking for Roommate

Eliza Sheffield is looking for one (preferably female) roommate for a sunny two-bedroom apartment in Porter Square starting Sept 1. Located in the beautiful Avon Hill neighborhood, the apartment is a 7-min walk from the Porter Square T station. Rent is $995 + utilities (hot water + heat are included!)

Berkeley

Sean Sawyers, pastor of Boston North, knows of a woman and her 14-year-old son who are expected to be in Boston from July 2, 2019 to August 10 so the son can participate in the Berkeley College of Music 5-Week intensive. Since he is only 14, he cannot stay on campus, and so they are looking for a place to stay (or a couple of places) during that time frame. If anybody has any leads or could help, please contact Sean, 803-614-2882.
