SUMMARY:Fully Alive - Life in the Spirit Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to experience a transformational journey that could change your life? Join us to the Fully Alive retreat\, a dynamic spiritual retreat hosted by the Shalom Catholic Community in Cambridge. \nWhat is Fully Alive? \nFully Alive is a Life in the Spirit Seminar designed to guide you into a deeper connection with the love of God—a love that forgives\, heals\, fills\, and transforms. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the gifts of the Holy Spirit and experience a life enriched by divine love. \nEvent Highlights: \n\nPraise and Worship: Engage in uplifting moments of spiritual renewal.\nPrayer and Reflection: Receive personal prayer from dedicated missionaries.\nCommunity and Connection: Share experiences and build friendships during interactive sessions and social hangouts.\nInspirational Talks: Discover powerful insights on these topics listed below:\n\n\nHow to satisfy your heart’s desires:  The world\, and even our own past\, has given us enough reasons to believe that we’re unworthy of love: to be loved and to love. Discover how God is crazy in love with you and how you can live this truth after this weekend. \nThe ultimate choice: We all have our own story. It has shaped the way we think\, perceive\, act and love. Unknowingly\, we’re held captive by sorrows and wounds of the past that bring fear to accepting healing and change. This will be an opportunity for you to make the choice to allow Jesus to come in and restore light into your life\, giving meaning and purpose for your life.\nUnshakable joy: God knows how difficult it is for us to understand His immense love and care for us when we’re constantly at war with ourselves and the voices of the world. Learn about His promise to you and the finding of true joy and happiness after every fight.\nJust the beginning: A weekend together is just the beginning of a new journey\, a new time! Explore ways you can continuously grow in faith\, in your relationship with Jesus\, and how to live it in community after this retreat!\n\nEvent Details:  \n\nDates: November 22 – 24\, 2024 (Friday – Saturday)\nLocation: 400 Cardinal Medeiros Avenue\, Cambridge\, MA\nHosted by: Shalom Catholic Community – Boston Mission\nCost: $10 (does not include meals) Meals will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Accompanying New Arrivals: Solidarity & Self-Care
DESCRIPTION:Since family shelter stopped being guaranteed in MA in August\, volunteers have had a fast-paced and heartbreaking few months supporting unhoused families at the train stations and welcome centers. Others have been working to open the doors of their congregations or personal homes to provide shelter and keep families off the streets. Over the past three months we have witnessed how state systems are deeply failing our newest neighbors. On Oct 22 from 7-8:30 pm\, we will offer a training for volunteers to come together to learn\, understand the basic principles of accompaniment and solidarity\, and discuss how to take care of ourselves in the face of systemic injustice so that we can stay engaged in this work. If you are new to volunteering\, we will include some concrete steps on how to get more involved! Workshop developed by Boston Immigrant Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN)\, Episcopal City Mission\, and MA Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition. \nClick HERE to Register.

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

SUMMARY:Women in Christian Leadership: A Time of Listening and Sharing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special\, set aside space during the annual Vision New England Leaders Gathering for women in Christian leadership to gather for dessert and meaningful conversation. Let’s come and process together the unique experiences\, stories\, and perspectives we hold on Tuesday May 7\, from 6:00 to 8:30pm at Gordon College. \nThe hope for this gathering is to experience a space of deep listening and connection about living and leading throughout this pre-election year as a Christian woman leader. This will be a special structured time to meet with God\, yourself\, and others. \nWe seek to slow down our minds and bodies to practice the art and gift of presence with one another and with God. We seek to create a brave space for all women to come fully as they are to listen\, share\, and process together. \nWe’ll be crafting small group dialogue where your voice\, story and engagement matter\, so the earlier you RSVP\, this helps out with our planning. You can also invite a friend or two in Christian leadership who might appreciate this kind of space and whom you can journey with to continue the evening’s conversation. \nClick here to register \n*Note: When you click on the Eventbrite\, it may say “sold out.” However\, this is likely not the case\, as we have been receiving some spammed registrations. Please email Ashley Howard apitkin@visionnewengland.org to register if the event says sold out. Thank you!
