September 21st: Dinner and Discussion

We are trying something new for the BHF dinner this month. We will have people from our community share about how God has been at work at their work. These stories will hopefully encourage you to live out your faith at work and highlight ways of doing that based on how other people have done it here in Boston. 

We still have openings for people to share an experience that is big or small relating to the questions "How have you seen God at work in your work?" or "Where have you taken a risk for God at work?" and "What happened?" If you would like to share then please contact Andrew at bostonhealthcarefellowship@gmail.com. 

Dinner will be provided and free childcare is available. 
Please RSVP by Tuesday, September 18th

When: Friday, September 21st, 6.30-8.30 pm
Where: JBM Lounge, Vanderbilt Hall, Harvard Medical School (107 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Boston, MA 02115)


If you have any recommendations for topics or speakers at future dinners then please respond to this email and let Andrew know.
