Kirk Franklin Concert – Volunteers Needed!

Hey! My name is Aubrey, and I am a Volunteer Outreach Coordinator for Loop Events. Kirk Franklin is coming to Boston, MA on Sunday, September 8, 202! We are in need of volunteers to pass out packets for Food for the Hungry* during the intermission and briefly at the end of the concert! As a thank you to our volunteers, you will receive FREE, early entry, and get to enjoy the show! If you would like more information, please feel free to email me at aubrey@loopevents.org!

*Volunteers will be helping attendees sign up to sponsor a child with Food for the Hungry. Volunteers will be trained by tour representatives on-site with specific responsibilities and assignments in the sponsorship process. This will include walking up and down the aisles of the venue, possibly standing at a table, handing out packets, and answering questions. Volunteers will be able to enjoy most of the show! No need to purchase tickets. Must be able to walk up stairs. Age Requirement: 16+ (14 & 15 year-olds can serve with an adult)

Live theatre with music, outdoors

The Rev. Rita Powell (Episcopal Chaplain, Harvard) has written a play, inspired by the writing of early Christian theologian Evagrius. We Say Various Things About Sleep will be presented outdoors (in Cambridge and in Fitchburg), with live music, on August 23, 24 and 25.

How does the body experience the spiritual? Do we know our own souls? How do we encounter the divine: through music, text, movement, nature? Evagrius was transformed by his time spent in reflection in the wilderness; we seek our own miniature transformations, spending an evening together in nature and art.

Enjoy a New England summer evening with theatre and music! Please do come early and bring a picnic. (Also, bring something to sit on! If you’re joining us in Cambridge, bring a picnic blanket or a folding chair. If you’re joining us in Fitchburg, there will be stone seats – but bring padding to sit on!)

Tickets are FREE (though donations are much appreciated!)  You can find all details for We Say Various Things About Sleep at an Eventbrite page here

Please join us for a unique experience.

Ordinary Time is an independent folk acoustic trio rooted in the Christian tradition. Comprised of Ben Keyes (guitar, piano, mandolin), Peter La Grand (guitar, banjo, dobro), and Jill McFadden (guitar, violin), Ordinary Time presents extraordinarily rich vocal harmonies, skillful instrumentation, and thought-provoking lyrics. The band’s oeuvre seamlessly weaves the hymns of generations past with their own new songs”often indistinguishably”producing a sound that ranges from bluegrass-tinged Americana to sacred harp hymn arrangements.  The band has released five records and tours semi-annually.

Grounded in tradition, innovative in expression, and mature in musicianship, Ordinary Time offers an important and unique voice, gifting us with enduring tunes for the journey of faith
