THANK YOU: Walkathon for the Homeless was a Success! Thanks to everyone who participated on November 2nd in our annual Neighborhood Walk to End Homelessness. It was an inspiring event with a strong turnout and lovely fall weather. More than $700 was raised through the event's Go Fund Me page, and donations can also be made to Interfaith Works throughout November via the Social Concerns box at the meetinghouse or on-line.

END OF LIFE ISSUES

• BFM has formed an End of Life Group to provide legal, spiritual, and practical resources to help our community cope with the uncertainties and fears surrounding the end of life. 
• The COVID-19 pandemic significantly elevated concerns about the health of family and friends, and the possibility that they could become gravely ill and die. 
• Although conversations with our loved ones about such a possibility are difficult, it’s important to prepare.
