A Kindness Celebration!
On Sunday, October 15, 2023, Scarborough Presbyterian Church will sponsor Red Shoes Sunday. Red Shoes Sunday is an event that invites people from the area and really everywhere to celebrate and practice kindness and wear red shoes. Maybe someone will ask why you are wearing red shoes and you can tell them! and so inspire them to do a kind act! Everyone is invited to do an act of kindness and then share it with us. (Click here to send your Kindnesses). You are also invited to attend the interfaith celebration of kindness that will be the worship service at the Scarborough Church in person and online on October 15 at 10:30 am. (Just click our Facebook or YouTube icons here or below to attend) If you are a part of another worshipping community incorporate Red Shoes Sunday and Kindness into your service on October 15 or thereabouts. Encourage people to act with kindness, and have them share it there and here.
It is called Red Shoes Sunday because the day was started in honor of a member of the Scarborough Church who passed away seven years ago. His name is Bob Minzesheimer. He used to wear red shoes quite often. Converse. He also was one of those gentle souls who loved this community and worked for this community and made it better in so many ways. (Read about Bob by clicking here). He was kind and lived kindness. So a very good way to remember him is to wear red shoes and be kind. We hope you will join us.
For Red Shoes Sunday, a collection is being taken to support the Ossining library that Bob loved and the Ossining Briarcliff Homeless Program. Click on the donation button above to donate. Please support these programs. And don't forget to click on the "Send us Your Kindnesses" button and share what you have done or propose to do.
