Mission Cafe on June 2nd
Join us on June 2 after the 10:00 service when Mary Beth Curran of Episcopal City Mission will host a “Mission Cafe”– a forum for conversations about Justice. The Mission Cafe is based on the model and philosophy of the World Cafe (theworldcafe.com) which functions under the belief that deep conversations are worth having and that we speak our world in to being. As part of our work to bring justice into the world, ECM is trying to have 1000 Conversations about Justice. The Mission Cafe allows us to ground those conversations in the scripture that shapes our faith as Christians and helps us to drop deep in the collective wisdom that lies just below the surface.
Molly McKitrick joins the St. Stephen’s staff
Greetings St. Stephen’s Parish!
I am so looking forward to being your Communications Specialist and joining your wonderful community! I have already been greeted so warmly and excited to get to know many of you! I am hoping to contribute to the strong network of communication that Adam has built within the church. I have an extensive background in using computer programs as a means of communication and outreach. I have also worked as an Arts and Photography Educator and am looking forward to bringing my experiences to my work at St. Stephen’s!
Currently, I’m a graduate student at Boston University working towards my Master’s Degree of Social Work, with which I will ultimately work as a counselor to women with severe health issues. I am also a proud mother to a vivacious 14-month-old named Eli. He is my absolute pride and joy! We currently live in Norwell and like to spend our days with friends and family, playing outdoors, or reading books at our local library.
I feel so grateful for this opportunity and am excited to explore and nourish my faith while contributing to the community of St. Stephen’s. Please feel free to drop by and introduce yourself! I look forward to getting to know you all.
God Bless,
Molly
