INVITATION — INVITATION — INVITATION
Every night, literally dozens of homeless women & their children spend the night out on the street in Baltimore.
Baltimore Outreach Services (BOS) — working out of the basement of Christ Lutheran Church Inner Harbor — is one of the very few (and dwindling) emergency shelters for these, our most vulnerable neighbors. BOS operates on a shoestring, and recent changes in the interpretation of federal regulations has further cut the funding. We need you!
Please come join us for the annual gala & fundraiser — dinner, open bar, live music, dancing, silent & live auctions, all for a GREAT CAUSE — on April 18th at the Marriott Camden Yards. Go to baltimoreoutreach.org or contact Diane Batchik for details.

Lenten Book Group
“The Great Divorce”, by CS Lewis - A group is forming to read/discuss “The Great Divorce” by CS Lewis during Lent. It is a short but thought-provoking book; written as a story, it has nothing to do with marital divorce, but rather the divide between Heaven and Hell. General plans are to gather 2-3 times during Lent to discuss, probably on Friday evenings (Mar. 6, Apr. 3 ... and maybe something in between TBD). We’re investigating using a Zoom link to allow interactive participation online via video if illness, lack of sitters, schedules, etc., prevents you from joining us in person. We may start a private Facebook group as well to facilitate communication and posting thoughts/questions/impressions as we read, between actual meetings. If you are interested, please contact Sondra Ailinger ( ksbh_ailinger@comcast.net) or Susie Jordan.
