For Lenten Reflection I’m presenting an email letter from LaDonna Smith sent to Angie Wright, Neko Linda and Laura Secord the morning after she attended the spoken word and music event at Beloved Community Church on Wednesday, March 30.   The Sister City Connection presentation at Beloved Community Church had over sixty people attending.  The cultural, creative, racial diversity of perspectives presented by the Sister City Connection group of women writers/performers was extraordinary beyond description.  Appreciating all those who presented, attended, helped with and inspired this happening at Beloved.   -Neko Linda   

Just wanted express appreciation for you and BELOVED for your generous opening up of the community through cultural events as we’ve experienced with the movie series and the poetry events, and now the ALARMING FEMALE!   Last night was electric.

 

“I know you can also feel the energy and excitement, as you facilitate the love and understanding that is being fostered in your safe and friendly environment, that transforms church into cross-pollination of community, and good will.

 

“You lie in the heart of the ‘cross-roads,’ and you know how to truly share and reach out to a community hungry for the touch of heart and creativity.

Thank you all so much!” -LaDonna
