DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Ethan and Caleb McCoy for a night of brotherhood and lively hip hop music. Come hear music from their solo albums\, as well as their new collaborative music. These talented siblings promise to bring a time of good inspirational music when people need it most! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou are invited to a summer concert that I am headlining and hosting with my brother! Got questions…I’ve got answers. \nWho’s performing?\nThis is a celebration of Caleb & Ethan McCoy’s debut album\, UPWARD SPIRAL. While I (Caleb) have been making music for a while\, this is the first time I have released a joint project with my brother. And to round out the family dynamic\, my parents\, Bil and Paulea will also be performing! \nIn addition\, my friend Kentel Weaver\, AKA Stonecatcher\, a restorative justice advocate\, will be releasing his Sophomore project\, The Chosen Don’t Get To Choose. \nWhen and where is the concert?\nJune 26th @ 6pm at the Burren in Somerville \nWho gon’ be there?\nThis show is set up to be a beautifully diverse crowd.

The content will be age appropriate and the atmosphere will be safe. However\, it is at a restaurant/bar and I would not recommend bringing very young children. \nHow Is Parking/Transportation?\nThere is street parking around the venue. Also\, The Burren is just steps away from the Davis Square red line T Station. \nHow Do I Get Tickets?\nClick here to grab your tickets.

SUMMARY:RCCI's Community Gathering & Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the racism and polarization in our word\, the Church must rise up and be a faithful witness. We must choose to model the way of Jesus – who speaks truth\, embodies love\, and affirms the dignity of every image bearer. \nBut how are we to do this? And how are we to sustain this work in these challenging times? \nYou are invited to connect in community\, be encouraged\, and get equipped to be a faithful witness to Jesus. Come to RCCI’s Community Gathering & Fundraiser at 5pm on June 6th. \nLearn how others are resisting racism and sustaining their shalom-building work. You are not alone. Together we can grow in our faith\, expand our imaginations\, and find creative ways to continue Christ’s redemptive work across racial lines. \nPlease RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/376355mp. \nHope to see you there! \nMegan & the RCCI team

SUMMARY:"That They May Be One" Film Release
DESCRIPTION:In theaters May 19th and 20th only! \n“That They May Be One” – A Docudrama on Unity in Christ\nOn the night before His crucifixion\, Jesus prayed a prayer that still echoes across the Church today: “That they may all be one.” (John 17) \nFeaturing Francis Chan and Christian leaders from across denominations\, That They May Be One is a powerful docudrama exploring how the Holy Spirit has been quietly working across generations to answer that prayer. \nThe film uncovers a remarkable story of God’s providence unfolding for more than a century. From the urgent prayers of St. Elena Guerra\, which inspired Pope Leo XIII to consecrate the twentieth century to the Holy Spirit\, to the dramatic outpouring of the Spirit in Topeka\, the historic revival at Azusa Street\, and the surprising awakening among Catholics at Duquesne University in 1967\, a powerful thread emerges. \nThrough compelling testimony\, historical insight\, and dramatic reenactments of Pentecost and Jesus’ prayer in John 17\, the film reveals the Holy Spirit’s work across denominational lines – calling the Church to renewal\, awakening\, and unity. \nThat They May Be One is more than a documentary – it’s an invitation to rediscover the Spirit who is still moving today. \nLearn More  \nTicket Information Here – Playing in Danvers\, Bellingham\, Marlborough\, Methuen\, and more!

DESCRIPTION:Join us for FaithWorks Conference 2026! The theme this year is An Urgency for Holiness: From Repentance to Deliverance. \n\n\n\n\nWe are thrilled to invite you to an extraordinary opportunity to attend the annual FaithWorks Conference! Faithworks is dedicated to inspiring and equipping Christian professionals to glorify God and excel in their industries. \nThus also faith by itself\, if it does not have works\, is dead. \nJames 2:17 \nThis premier event encourages Christian professionals in the Greater Boston Area and beyond to deepen their faith in Christ within their respective industries. Our focus spans various sectors: Entrepreneurship\, Marketing\, Finance\, Technology\, Arts and Entertainment\, Healthcare\, Life Sciences\, Education\, and Business. \nThese sectors drive our economy\, but as Christians\, we know the ultimate glory belongs to God. \nNow faith is the substance of things hoped for\, the evidence of things not seen. \nHebrews 11:1 \nFaithWorks aims to deliver impactful programming that strengthens connections within the Christian professional community in Greater Boston and beyond. Our attendees will benefit from unique opportunities to network and engage with an untapped network of Christian professionals and entrepreneurs. Our next conference is on Saturday\, April 25\, 2026\, which will be a catalyst for a network of powerful industry experts.

SUMMARY:Solidarity is Sacred: Good Friday Public Worship & Action for Immigration Justice
DESCRIPTION:This Good Friday\, April 3rd at 4PM\, in downtown Boston\, Christians and people of faith will gather in prayer and protest in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors.   \nImmigration enforcement tactics have long threatened the safety of our neighbors. But in this moment of authoritarian breakthrough\, state violence is intensifying\, causing fear and outrage in our communities.  \nDuring Holy Week\, Christians remember Jesus’ death as a confrontation with – and triumph over – the powers of evil. Jesus’s crucifixion was God’s ultimate act of solidarity with persecuted people — an act that calls us into radical solidarity with the crucified people of today. Through story\, ritual and song\, we will lament the violence against our immigrant neighbors\, demand the abolition of ICE\, and hear again God’s call to loose the bonds of injustice and set every captive free (Isaiah 58:6).  \nThis initiative is hosted by various organizations devoted to reclaiming the story of Good Friday to stand with our immigrant friends and neighbors. Join us to practice the Stations of the Cross as we seek to be a powerful public witness for Jesus Christ. Read more about the story and theological heartbeat of this initiative here. \nTogether we will pray five of the fourteen stations of the cross: Jesus is condemned to die\, Jesus meets his mother\, Jesus falls for the third time\, Simone of Cyrene helps Jesus carry his cross and Jesus dies on the cross. \nWhile this action is based in the Christian tradition and practice of the stations of the cross\, people of all faiths and no faiths are welcome and encouraged to attend. \nAt a time when the public perception of Christianity is often defined by politics or nationalism\, join us for this opportunity to stand in the public square as a visible witness to Jesus’ heart for the vulnerable and oppressed. \nRSVP here: https://bit.ly/goodfriday2026  \nCommunications toolkit is here \n\nCo-Sponsors: \nMassachusetts Communities Action Network (MCAN)\, MA TPS Committee\, Pax Christi Massachusetts\, Southern New England Conference of the United Church of Christ (SNEUCC)\, Catholics in Communion\, UniteBoston\, First Church Somerville\, UCC\, Episcopal City Mission and Center for Public Theology & Migration. \n\n\n\n\nArt: Our art team is busy prepping for our upcoming art builds where we’ll make hand signs and large vertical and horizontal banners to communicate our messaging. Please join us by RSVP-ing here and spread the word: \n\n\nArt Build\, Sunday\, March 29th from 6-9PM at First Church Somerville\, 89 College Avenue\, Somerville. \n\n\nArt Build\, Monday\, March 30th from 6-9PM at First Church Somerville\, 89 College Avenue\, Somerville.

SUMMARY:Prophetic Leadership Principles
DESCRIPTION:Greater Boston\, this is a season for depth.\n\nSPL1000: Prophetic Principles is the gateway course of the School of Prophetic Leadership — designed for believers who sense a call to hear clearly\, discern biblically\, and lead with integrity. In a time when voices are loud and clarity is rare\, this course grounds you in Scripture\, spiritual formation\, and tested prophetic foundations.\n\nThis is not hype. This is formation.\n\nOver this journey\, you’ll explore how revelation\, interpretation\, and application work together. You’ll grow in discernment before declaration\, character before commissioning\, and structure before expansion. Whether you serve in church\, marketplace\, intercession\, or culture\, SPL1000 strengthens your spiritual depth and leadership maturity.\n\nIf you’re called to speak\, lead\, or build — but want to be rooted first — this is your next step.\n\nRegistration is open. Join us and build on foundations that last.

SUMMARY:Holy Hour in Christian Unity
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow local Christians on Thursday February 12 from 7:30pm to 8:30pm to worship\, pray and adore Jesus as we seek greater unity in the body of Christ. \nHosted by St. Mary’s Hakuna – a community dedicated to a joyful “Eucharistic lifestyle” – and in partnership with UniteBoston\, who nurtures unity among diverse Christians through relationships for the flourishing of the city. Join us to worship Jesus together as one body\, followed by an informal social hangout! \nRSVP is not required\, but if you know you will attend\, please RSVP here to help gauge food and drink for afterwards. Also\, parking is available at the church! \n\n“All who accept Christ as Lord and Savior are brothers and sisters in Christ. Evangelicals and Catholics are brothers and sisters in Christ. We have not chosen one another\, just as we have not chosen Christ. He has chosen us\, and he has chosen us to be his together. However imperfect our communion with one another\, however deep our disagreements with one another\, we recognize that there is but one church of Christ. There is one church because there is one Christ and the church is his body” – The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium\, FirstThings\, May 1994    \n \n“True Christian unity\, we believe\, is not so much a goal to be achieved as a gift to be received”\n \n“As Evangelicals and Catholics\, we pray that our unity in the love of Christ will become ever more evident as a sign to the world of God’s reconciling power”.\n\n*The four statements are The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium\, 1994\, The Gift of Salvation\, 1997\, Your Word is Truth\, 2002 and The Communion of Saints\, 2003.

SUMMARY:Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
DESCRIPTION:The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an international initiative where Christians worldwide are reminded of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (John 17:21). Locally\, UniteBoston coordinates evening collaborative gatherings of fellowship\, prayer and worship from January 18-25 annually. \n\n\n\nThis Year’s Theme: Drawing from the resilience and liturgical richness of the Christians of Armenia—Oriental Orthodox\, Catholic\, and Evangelical—this year’s Week of Prayer for Christian Unity invites us to reflect on Ephesians 4:4: “There is one body and one Spirit\, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.” As the first nation to officially embrace Christianity in 301 CE\, Armenia offers a profound witness to unity that has survived centuries of persecution and displacement. The materials for 2026 highlight that our shared identity is rooted in a ancient covenant\, symbolized by the safe arrival of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat and the promise of the rainbow. By focusing on our common vocation and the “one hope” of salvation\, we are challenged to move beyond historical divisions toward a conversion of heart\, practicing a unity that embraces diversity while remaining steadfast in the love and mission of Christ. \n\n\n\nMark Your Calendars – You are invited to mark your calendars and plan to attend the evening gatherings! In this time of Epiphany\, we encourage you to receive the manifestation of Jesus Christ through those of different denominations\, races and cultures. Let’s make the most of these opportunities in order to truly be the family of God and serve as the body of Christ in the world. Let’s also pray with our feet – consider how our beliefs can come together in common action and witness. \n\n\n\nSpread the Word – We also appreciate help spreading the word to people in your congregation\, family\, friends\, and neighbors. A personal invitation goes a long way. \n\n\n\nUB Board Devotionals – This year for the Week of Prayer\, the UniteBoston Board and Staff will be sharing video devotional and prayers\, which will be shared on our social media. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram! \n\n\n\nCalling to mind our common commitment to ‘love thy neighbor\,’ may the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity\, January 18-25\, 2025 be full of moments of conversion of heart through our encounters\, so that “all may be one.” \n\n\n\n\n\nResources for Your Week of Prayer Experience\n\n\n\nLitany for Christian Unity \n\n\n\nChristian Unity Daily Prayer Guide – Created by the Greymoor Institute or The Initiative \n\n\n\nIntroduction on the Theme from Greymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Initiative \n\n\n\nAs you are able\, please also share this invitation with other churches and communities in your network so that more communities may gather to pray at this pivotal time in our country and city. \n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule for Gatherings in Boston & New England\n\n\n\n*All events are free and open to all.* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThurs January 15  – Taizé Prayer with the Sisters of St. Joseph  \n\n\n\n7:00 to 7:45pm at Motherhouse Chapel of the Sisters of St. Joseph\, 637 Cambridge St\, Brighton\, MA 02135 \n\n\n\nTaizé prayer is a simple form of Christian prayer centered on scripture\, silence\, and song based on the daily prayer of the religious community in Taizé\, France. As women rooted in the Gospel whose mission is to deepen relationships with God and neighbor\, the Sisters of St. Joseph invite you to join in praying for unity and love in our world and in our own hearts. \n\n\n\nMon January 19 – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day \n\n\n\nWe encourage you to join into many different opportunities to remember the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. Events listed with Meet Boston\, City of Cambridge. Various volunteer and service opportunities listed through Boston Cares and City Year. \n\n\n\nTues January 20 – Tuesday Noontime Prayer \n\n\n\n12:00 to 1:00pm at Currie Chapel\, Tremont Temple Baptist Church\, 88 Tremont Street\, Boston MA 02108 \n\n\n\nBased on the model of the 19th century noontime city prayer meetings preceding the Third Great Awakening\, the Navigators host a noontime prayer meeting at Tremont Temple Baptist Church every Tuesday. We gather to offer prayers of adoration and supplication with an emphasis on awakening and revival in the city of Boston and beyond.  All are welcome.

Dr. Matthew Ichihashi Potts explores the complex moral terrain of forgiveness from his book ‘Forgiveness: An Alternative Account.’ Though forgiveness is often linked with reconciliation or the abatement of anger\, Potts resists these associations\, asserting instead that forgiveness is simply the refusal of retaliatory violence through practices of penitence and grief.  Join us at 6:00 PM for refreshments; the talk begins at 6:30 PM. Free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Christmas Eve at ICE Burlington
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to this event\, coordinated by the Massachusetts Council of Churches and supported by Bearing Witness at Burlington and UniteBoston. \nWe gather to worship with those Christians held inside the ICE facility\, to pray for the families and loved ones from whom they are separated\, and to proclaim the Good News of Christ’s birth\, in the very face of these injustices and terrors of current policies.  We will pray\, read of the birth of Jesus\, and sing hymns and carols.  We will witness to the light of Christ that comes into the darkness\, in our time and always. \n10 am – 11 am Christmas Eve 2025\n1000 District Ave. Burlington\, MA \nThis Christmas Eve\, we will unite the Body of Christ in worship.  \nWalls of detention facilities cannot divide the Body of Christ.  \nDocumentation status cannot divide the Body of Christ.  \nWe are united by Jesus Christ\, whose love is greater than anything that divides us. \nImportant Details: \nHere are the final details for Christmas Eve Day Worship\, to ensure that you can plan and have a clear picture of our gathering for worship. Also\, this gathering was featured in the Religion News Service – read the article here!  \nTRANSPORT and PARKING \nThis is by far the trickiest part of our plans. Please take public transit\, if at all possible. \nFor those coming from metro Boston: take the Red Line to Alewife and take the 350 Bus to Burlington Mall.  Get off at this stop: Burlington Mall Rd @ NE Executive Pk. Head down District Ave.\, which should be right in front of you. \nIf you drive\, please carpool.  You may plan to drop people off at 1000 District Ave.\, but please know that you cannot park at 1000 District Ave. \nPLEASE ALLOT AT LEAST 30 MINUTES EXTRA FOR OFF-SITE PARKING. \nYour best option is to park at Simonds Park\, or the surrounding roads as marked. \nThe 350 bus stops at the corner of Cambridge St. and Bedford St.\, toward Burlington Mall/Alewife. It is only a 5-10 minute ride. Please arrive very early\, as the buses reduce in frequency after rush hour. \nThus\, another option: after parking near Simonds Park\, head to the Burlington Church UCC\, across the street.  Rev. Andrew Harris and the amazing leaders of the UCC Burlington church are offering shuttles to the ICE facility. \nOTHER PARKING OPTIONS: \nThere is very limited street parking along District Ave\, toward Burlington Mall Rd.  You may luck out\, but don’t rely on it! \n6 District Ave. parking is listed as a Free Parking.  It may be used by mall shoppers.  Not sure how security works there.  Park at your own risk. \nYou can try to park at Burlington Mall\, which is very close by.  However\, it will be quite full because of Christmas Eve shopping.  Additionally\, when we requested assistance with parking from mall management\, they declined to help.  If you do park there\, please go to the mall\, otherwise security may stop you.  They have been ticketing people who do not go to the mall.  Park at your own risk\, sadly. \nAdditionally\, there are other businesses and buildings in the office park on District Ave.  We do not know whether they will have security or whether they will tow.  It is Christmas Eve\, so it could go either way.  So\, again\, park at your own risk. \nWORSHIP: \nPlease understand that this is true\, sincere worship.  Please do not bring signs or engage with this event as a protest.  While those forms of witness are essential at other times\, this gathering is a service of prayer\, song\, and telling the story of Christ’s birth\, worshiping as closely as possible with those held inside.  So think of this as “going to church\,” and not “going to a protest.” \nROLES: \nClergy: you are welcome to vest and process.  Please wear whatever vestment is appropriate for worship in your tradition and appropriate to an outdoor\, ecumenical liturgy of prayer and worship\, without Communion.  Copes\, preaching robes\, Geneva robes\, cassocks and surplices\, or just street clothes.  If you are wearing a stole\, please wear white/gold or whatever color you wear for festive events.  (We are going for “joy in the face of crisis\,” as opposed to lament or uplifting the martyrs in the Spirit). \nHowever your tradition does it\, please show up like that.  The idea is that we all represent our particular denominations and traditions and trust that it will be beautiful in God’s eyes and a powerful reminder of how strong we are when we stand together in Christ. \nChoir: you are welcome to wear your robes (or not\, if that’s not your tradition)\, and to join a pick up choir.  Again\, we are not aiming for visual uniformity\, but diversity.  We are aiming to have one purpose\, not one “look.” \nWe will have a music director\, the incredible Eric Anderson Jr.\, who will conduct.  We may have a keyboard\, but please prepare to sing a cappella. \nOur hymn list: \n\nO Come\, All Ye Faithful\nO Little Town of “Burlington”\nJoy to the World\nAway in a Manger\nGo Tell It on the Mountain\n\nAcolytes/Vergers/Subdeacons/Altar Servers:  You are welcome to vest and process as well\, if you wish.  The more the merrier.  But please do NOT bring your crosses/candles/thuribles\, etc.  To avoid confusion\, we cannot have multiple people in those roles.  We will indeed have a censor\, worry not! \nGreeters: We need greeters to help welcome people in\, distribute bulletins (mostly electronically)\, distribute candles\, and provide a warm welcome.  Come as you are.  But come early. \nWeather: We plan to hold this event in any weather\, if at all possible.  Please dress and plan accordingly.  Wear many layers\, if you are not accustomed to being outdoors for long.  Especially consider wearing extra socks and thick shoes.  If you are vesting\, please wear thick layers under your robes.  We will be standing outside for over an hour in whatever weather there is. \nAbout the site: There is NO seating provided. This is an outdoor lawn in an office park\, and we do not have a way to bring in chairs.  If you require a seat\, you are welcome to bring one with you\, and anyone with mobility concerns or concerns about standing for an hour may sit right up front.  But we cannot provide chairs for everyone. \nINFORMED DECISIONS: \nWe invite you to take time to make informed decisions about whether this is the place for you to be.  We are gathering in a place that has been designated for First Amendment expressions. We are gathering to worship\, which is our First Amendment right.   It is protected by local law enforcement and longstanding agreements with DHS/ICE staff over many months.  We do not anticipate any issues with ICE staff or local law enforcement. \nBut while the Good News of Christ’s birth is full of hope\, we proclaim it at a place that launches much violence into our communities.  This facility is an active enforcement and detention center.  Please know ICE agents may be coming and going on their business.  If being in such a place might be unsafe for you or your loved ones in any way\, please consider those risks carefully.  This may be due to your experiences at the facility or others like it\, or your own documentation status\, or your own previous experiences with law enforcement\, or any other history or concerns.  We want you to take the risks you can bear.  Your presence does not need to be physical: if it is not the right decision for you to be physically present with us at the facility\, please join us in prayer from home or your home congregation.  God is everywhere and will unite us as the Body of Christ\, no matter where we are.  Video of the event will be made available shortly afterward. \nThanks also to our friends and colleagues at UniteBoston who are co-sponsoring this event\, and the clergy leaders of Bearing Witness at Burlington.
