WINTER WALK on 2/11/24
What a great day we had on Sunday for the Winter Walk 2024.
From the ride in to the parking, to the speeches and video, to the sights and sounds of
Boston Common, this was a fantastic time to be together to support the cause of ending
homelessness. The organizations that receive the funds were all there, and we even got to
see Rev. Jennifer McCracken of St. Pauls, and several of the MANNA Pilgrims who stayed in our church during the
once annual pilgrimages.
I am sending along a few of the pictures I took from the event. Sorry I do not have a close up of
Amanda (in green hat), who was fantastic in her speaking role. However, there is a picture of her dad Ken, selling
Rough Sleepers, the phenomenal book by Tracy Kidder about Dr. Jim O’Connell’s street ministry to the homeless. Amanda Grant-Rose has more copies if you would like one.
4000 people make the walk this year, so it was a slow walk, in the best possible way.
Thanks for all the financial contributions. Including the contribution from Missions, we raised over $1200 toward
The Rose Family team, and overall support.
.
Best,
Janet
