Come join us for last minute planning for Kingfield’s largest event of the year, Kingfield Empty Bowls! This communal soup supper is organized and hosted by KFNA as a fundraiser for Nicollet Square located in Kingfield neighborhood, a project of Beacon Interfaith Housing and home to 42 youth that have experienced long term homelessness before being welcomed to our neighborhood.

We will be prepping for our final community paint-a-bowl event, figuring out volunteer needs, and analyzing event needs including food and pottery. We are still seeking donations of pottery—if you are a potter, or know one, and have 1-100 ceramic bowls to deliver please contact us, we really need your support and are willing to pick-up donations if needed!

Questions? Contact KFNA at info@kingfield.org.

This group began meeting after the 2016 Presidential Election and is committed to making Kingfield a safer, more inclusive neighborhood for everyone. Participation on the task force is open to anyone interested in making a positive difference in our community; we are particularly interested in recruiting members from historically underrepresented groups. People of color, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to participate.

Start the year off by showing your support! Yard signs designed by KFNA’s Equity and Outreach Committee now available Butter Bakery Cafe, 3700 Nicollet, for a suggested donation of $10! Able to donate more? Please do, so that neighbors that cannot afford a donation are able to take a sign too!

Questions? Contact KFNA at info@kingfield.org.

Please join us at Judson Church for the FREE 4th Annual Holiday Sing-Along. If you play an instrument, bring it along and join in.

Words (so we can sing ALL the verses) and easy sheet music for a variety of musical instruments will be provided. If you don’t play an instrument or sing, we invite you to come to hear our joyful noise!

The Gospel Five will also be there to lead us in a few carols and members of the Judson Choir too. And we can’t forget Jim ten Bensel leading us in a crazy, physical version of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. So come join us and invite your friends and neighbors to this festive caroling event.
