SUMMARY:Love Thy Neighbor: COVID Grocery Delivery
DESCRIPTION:Jesus’ call for us to “love thy neighbor” presents a unique challenge during this time of social distancing. We currently have a “Love Thy Neighbor” campaign that showcases the diverse ways in which Christians throughout Greater Boston demonstrate love and connect with their neighbors in new and unexpected ways. \nLove Thy Neighbor Grocery Delivery \nWe have partnered with Park Street Church on a program in which Christians throughout the Greater Boston area can assist families with basic food needs. This program is focused on families and households who have someone that tested positive for COVID-19\, by providing them with groceries. Working in partnership with Massachusetts COVID-19 Community Tracing Collaborative (CTC) at the Department of Public Health\, the program puts each volunteer in contact with a particular family within the person’s designated zip code. The volunteers then have 48 hours to purchase and deliver groceries to their assigned families. Our goal is to serve 20 people per day\, or 100 per week! As of January 6\, 2021\, 126 volunteers from 31 churches were able to provide 14\,438 meals! In fact\, 14% of families requesting groceries through the State of Massachusetts were met by this program! \nHow Can You Help? \nIf you would like to be involved in this beautiful and much needed initiative\, please fill out the Registration Form  and help us spread the word! To get started\, we need to identify individuals who are able and willing to purchase and deliver food in a timely manner within their community. \nThank You! \nWe dream about coming together as the whole Body of Christ across Boston\, and rising up to “love thy neighbor” by meeting this practical need is a great way to get started. If you have any questions\, please contact kelly@uniteboston.com or cityengagement@parkstreet.org.  \nWhen this passes\, may we say that love spread more quickly than any virus ever could! Thank you all for being willing to help us ensure that every family in Boston is cared for and loved!  \nClick here to read stories that have come out of this initiative! \n

SUMMARY:10 Days Boston
DESCRIPTION:10 DAYS IS A MOVEMENT OF PRAYER\, FASTING\, AND REPENTANCE IN UNITY BASED ON THE 10 “DAYS OF AWE”.  SINCE 2004\, WE’VE GROWN FROM BEING “JUST AN IDEA” TO HAVING 120 CITIES AROUND THE GLOBE IN 2019 AS PART OF THIS GLOBAL PRAYER MOVEMENT.   \nOur long-term vision is to see whole cities stop for 10 entire days to repent and recognize the worth of Jesus Christ in preparation for the Lord’s return\, but we believe this begins with believers setting themselves apart for prayer and fasting in a spirit of John 17 unity (the Upper Room).  In its fullness\, 10 Days is “The Upper Room” (Acts 1-2) meets “Ninevah” (Jonah 4). \nVisit 10days.net for more info about this movement. \nOur approach this year in Boston is two-fold. \n1. Consecrate Ourselves (Consecration Challenge from 10 Days) \n-10 Days of fasting food at some level (Daniel\, Juice\, Water\, or just eating one meal/day) \n-Taking time off from work for the purpose of prayer \n-#10daysoff from Social Media and Entertainment \n-10 Days devoted to prayer\, worship\, and repentance with their families and other believers \n2. Ban- Consecrate Assemblies \n-Daily times of prayer\, repentance\, and worship at the Boston Common Gazebo (12-5PM) \n-A call to the body of Christ in Boston to gather together in light of the medical and social issues facing our city and country with the Biblical prescription given to us in a 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Joel 2:15-17 \n-Please visit our web page for more details or to get involved!  All are welcome to join us for the prayer times \nWe want to speak a word of hope for our future in regards to racial reconciliation\, the end of the COVID19 health crisis\, systemic injustice\, and the multiplication of the gospel (and other issues relevant to the locations that will host).   \nWe want to help the church to “get outside the building” and unite together in prayer for their neighborhoods and in the worship of Jesus. \nWe believe God’s hand was at work when Governor Baker encouraged the body of Christ in the start of phase 1 to meet outdoors.  God moved powerfully in the book of Acts in outdoor gatherings\, and we believe He wants to do so right here in Boston.  We are convinced that repentance and prayer is a required response to crisis.
