SUMMARY:March for Jesus Revive Boston 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this historic event\nNow is the time for revival in Boston. Join thousands of believers from across the region to reclaim the City of Boston for Jesus. The Lord told Joshua\, “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you” (Joshua 1:3). This promise is alive and active for the Church today. As representatives of the Kingdom of God\, each step we take on this ‘March for Jesus’ is symbolic of taking the City of Boston (and its inhabitants) for the Kingdom of God. \nMake no mistake\, this is not a protest or political march\, but a victory march for our Lord Jesus Christ. Our march will begin at 2pm from Boston City Hall Flags\, all the way to the Parkman Bandstand – Boston Common\, where will be joined by local worship bands\, preachers\, gospel singers\, DJ’s\, churches\, and evangelism teams. We will also be holding water baptisms on the common for new converts. What an awesome celebration this will be in the heart of our City. The Kingdom of God is coming to Boston

SUMMARY:"Equip the Saints" Program for Black Preachers
DESCRIPTION:Application Deadline is June 15! \nMassachusetts Council of Churches will serve Black clergy from across its network through cohorts of preacher-practitioners\, regular podcasts\, a “Preachers-in-Residence” program\, peer-to-peer support\, and an annual preaching symposium called “Sound the Trumpet in Zion.” They will prioritize Black preacher mental health and engage in a pilgrimage to the African Meeting House on Nantucket\, an icon of local resilient Black preaching. \nPURPOSE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur purpose in “Equip the Saints” is first and foremost support for Black clergy. From our design meeting\, Black clergy shared that they felt the despair and malaise of their congregation\, and their own impending sense of burnout through the multiple pandemics of the past three years. Everything we do in this program point towards increased vocational support. We believe this focus on support for Black clergy is just and appropriate\, given the systemic racism of our region and escalating white supremacist violence. Our overall objective also includes equipping all clergy to faithfully and biblically preach against the idolatry of white supremacy cloaked in Christianity and preach towards the unity of the body of Christ. \nPROCESS \nBlack clergy from across the Church in Massachusetts will be eligible to apply to join Cohorts of 20 preacher-practitioners per year over the course of five program years\, starting in June 2024. We will support and strengthen compelling preaching through regular podcasts\, annual clergy cohorts\, via “Preachers-in-Residence\,” and peer-to-peer support with an annual Preaching Symposium\, “Blow the Trumpet in Zion.” \nWe prioritize Black preacher mental health with two sessions of support from a preacher-social worker each year. We aim to cultivate and strengthen a fellowship of committed and confident preachers across Massachusetts. \nEach Cohort will begin their preaching formation journey together with a pilgrimage to the African Meeting House on Nantucket\, an icon of local resilient Black preaching that very few people other than wealthy white individuals have been able to visit. \nEach Cohort will engage in a rhythm of learning\, practice\, and reflection with Preachers-in-Residence. Preachers will then return to their congregation to practice their new skills or ideas. A second session returns to the Cohort for a reflection on their practice. In this way\, we build up both preaching resources and capacity in our network of preachers. The annual Preaching Symposium\, modeled off of CTS’s Mixed Methods Preaching Conference\, serves as a Church wide gathering to learn\, and grow in strength and solidarity. \nLearn More Here \nApply Here
