SUMMARY:UniteBoston's Fall Be the Bridge Group
DESCRIPTION:At UniteBoston\, we recognize the need to address the sin of racism and the pervasive inequities that persist in our city and nation. We recognize that justice is not peripheral\, but intrinsic to the gospel\, and Christians should be leading the way in the movement towards racial justice today. \nUniteBoston is launching a Be the Bridge Zoom group to foster intentional conversation about diversity and racial reconciliation\, empowering people to be the bridge between people divided by racial and cultural differences. We have found Latasha Morrison’s book\, “Be the Bridge” to be one of the most accessible books on the topic. Our goal for this group is for Christians throughout the city to gain a shared and biblically-grounded understanding of the process of restorative reconciliation – including lament\, confession\, forgiveness\, righting wrongs\, and restoring relationships. By committing to do this together\, we create a pathway for the Church in Boston to meaningfully address the sin of racism in its various forms as it has existed in history and as it exists today. \nIt will take place on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30pm via Zoom from October 1 to December 17. The group will be led by leaders of different races – see the biographies below. Together\, we can courageously endeavor healthy dialogue and transformation of our communities.  \nThe video below will give you a snapshot into the groups. We are currently recruiting for participants to join our fall Be the Bridge group. At this point\, the groups are at capacity\, but we are looking for more participants who are people of color\, so if this describes you\, then feel free to sign up! Click here to sign up! \n*Note: We are excited to hear that many different churches (Grace Chapel\, Mars Hill Fellowship\, Revive Community Church\, Brockton Assembly of God\, New City Church\, Anthem Church\, and City Church) have already done the Be the Bridge curriculum. This spring we are planning to re-launch this group and focus more towards the systemic side of racism\, with locally-focused resources and speakers who are working in a particular aspect of justice (education\, housing\, police reform\, incarceration\, economic disparities\, health disparities\, etc.) to present to the group and inspire locally-focused action. If you know of someone who would be a good fit for this\, please email us at info@uniteboston.com! \n  \n \nLeadership \nRev. Jacob Urena \nRev. Jacob Urena is a commissioned missioner in The Order of St. Martin de Porres\, a religious order within the Diocese of the Good Shepherd serving the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches (CEEC). The CEEC intentionally brings together three streams of the Church: Scripture\, Spirit\, and Sacrament. Jacob has worked hands-on in the formation of the socio-religious order locally in the Boston area and his sole motivations are on the upward mobility of every individual\, especially those ostracized and forgotten. Rev. Jacob has worked as an advocate and organizer for justice in his community in a variety of ways\, including organizing community forums and prayer rallies. \nSeong Park \n \nA greater Boston native\, Seong has spent the last 6 years working in the social impact sector in Myanmar. During this time\, she served at an international church that brings together Christians from diverse countries\, denominations\, and backgrounds\, and partners with local churches to support their growth in the ethnically diverse country of Myanmar. Seong finds great encouragement in witnessing God transform messy church families into communities that repent\, relearn\, and rebuild together to better reflect Christ’s love and justice for the world. Since returning home during the pandemic\, she’s been attending the Korean Church of the Lord in Boston\, the same church where she grew up. \nRev. Kelly Fassett \nKelly has served as the Executive Director for UniteBoston since 2012 and has been the catalyst for UniteBoston’s bridge-building work throughout Christians in the region. She has a certificate in Christian Foundations from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She also graduated with her Masters of Divinity in Global and Community Engagement at Boston University in 2019\, with certificates in Religion and Conflict Transformation as well as International Mission and Ecumenism. Kelly and her husband Andrew are both ordained ministers with the American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts\, have one daughter named Abigail\, and live in an intentional Christian community in the Dorchester area. \nPradeepan Parthiban \n \nPradeepan moved to Boston from Austin\, Texas\, where he worked to equip local churches in disciple making\, house church planting and helping marginalized communities. He continues the same ministry in Boston helping the members of Antioch Greater Boston walk out for biblical justice through discipleship and evangelism. Pradeepan also serves as a consultant for entities seeking to use technology to solve global human rights issues\, with a focus on using AI to combat modern slavery. \nBrent and Karen Brown \n \nBrent and Karen have served in ministry together for the past eleven years and both have over 20 years of ministry experience. They have been Youth Workers and Youth Directors at churches in Lynnfield and Lynn. Brent and Karen were also co-leaders of the Young Adult ministry at Remix Church and they completed their first year at the SNEMN School of Ministry to obtain pastoral credentials with the Assemblies of God. Brent and Karen are passionate about racial reconciliation and are members of Be the Bridge and the Cyrene Movement. Brent and Karen have been married for eleven years and are the proud parents of five and grandparents to Bentley and London. They are currently attending Impact Church in Medford.

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.

SUMMARY:The Prophet Project (online)
DESCRIPTION:Still Small Theatre presents The Prophet Project\, a play about the timeless story of God’s love for the world\, told through the timely words of the ancient Hebrew prophets. \nOn September 18th\, join a virtual watch party of the show (filmed summer 2019) and live Q&A with some of the artists involved! The event will be held on YouTube Live\, and the show will be available streaming on YouTube until October 3rd. \nInspired by the Biblical story of the prophet Hosea and his wife Gomer\, The Prophet Project weaves together the words of the Biblical prophets along with movement\, music\, and more  to tell the story of God’s enduring love for Israel\, and for all of humanity. Due to some of the mature themes of Scripture\, The Prophet Project is not recommended for young children. But for adults\, teens\, and mature middle schoolers\, it is a thought-provoking reflection and conversation starter on the themes of sin\, idolatry\, injustice\, redemption\, and how Christians can continue to reveal the heart of God to a broken world. \nThis watch party kicks off Still Small’s new Virtual Performance Packages\, which allow churches to book an entirely virtual event — complete with play\, Q&A with cast\, and 6-part video Bible study series! Packages become available November 1.\nSee www.stillsmalltheatre.com for more information!

SUMMARY:Dialogue Workshop for Religious\, Community\, and Non-Profit Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Essential Tools for Religious\, Community\, and Non-Profit Leaders\, from Essential Partners \nFaith\, community\, and nonprofit leaders alike face the challenges of working with internal and external community members in a mission-driven context.

Used externally\, our approach deepens community relationships so you can work together in ways that advance your values or mission. Within your institution\, our approach builds the capacity to live out your values while naming\, celebrating\, and productively engaging the differences that do exist. It also fosters robust\, aware leadership groups that work joyously and effectively together. \nSeptember 17-18\, 2020\n8:30am – 4:30pm EST\n\nIn recognition of current circumstances that may make registration costs difficult\, we’re offering a 30% discount option. If that discounted rate still presents a barrier\, we have also expanded our scholarship opportunities. Please email us for more details.\n\nFor more information or to sign up\, click here.

SUMMARY:Race & Christian Community Initiative Cohorts 2020: Learning Communities for White Evangelicals
DESCRIPTION:Race & Christian Community Initiative cohorts are communities where Christians can learn about racism from a biblical perspective and develop the capacity to respond to it as an outworking of their faith. RCCI cohorts for fall 2020 are designed for White leaders shaped by the evangelical tradition\, and aim to create a space where they can come together to learn and do the self-work needed to engage issues related to race more effectively. RCCI understands leadership broadly and welcomes formal and informal leadership alike.  \nCohorts are six-month commitments through which people examine and respond to the ways racism impacts ourselves\, our society\, our Christian communities\, and faith. They are run in a seminar-style format for small groups of 6-8 people and utilize various methods\, including engaging books and media\, guest speakers\, discussion\, spiritual disciplines\, creative exercises\, and field trips. Cohorts value experiential and peer learning and aim to get beyond an intellectual understanding of race by engaging the whole person in mind\, body\, emotions\, and spirit. \nAt the end of each cohort\, participants go through an individual and communal discernment process regarding how they can take actions to contribute to the dismantling of racism in their sphere of influence. All alumni are also invited into RCCI’s support and accountability groups to receive ongoing resources to move from knowing and caring to action. \nRCCI will be offering two online\, inter-ministry cohorts for White people starting in mid-Oct. 2020. One group will be held on Tuesday evenings and another will be held on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. These cohorts are offered at no financial cost to participants. \nVisit www.egc.org/racecohort to learn more or apply. \nIf you are interested in having RCCI offer a customized cohort experience to your organization’s leadership team\, email mlietz@egc.org. \nWe are also visioning and building so we can offer cohorts for people of color in the future.

SUMMARY:Pray on MLK
DESCRIPTION:Our cities are divided by streets that have chained us to inequity\, created walls of division\, and borders of fear that keep us apart. We’re coming together to form a nationwide\, multi-ethnic human prayer chain to break the chains of injustice and usher in a new era of pursuing the dream of God. On August 8th\, 2020\, on a Martin Luther King Jr. street in your city\, we’re inviting you to take your place side-by-side with brothers and sisters on the wall of history and stand in solidarity against racism and injustice. \nFor the Boston event\, we will be meeting at: \n330 M.L.K. Jr Blvd\, Roxbury\, MA 02119 from 6:01pm-8:01pm. \n  \nHow it works \n\nBring with you white duct tape and write a word over the tap that signifies your prayer’s focus. Words like love\, justice\, equity\, healing\, unity\, etc.\nPeople will line up side-by-side\, 6 feet apart\, with the tape over their mouths in silent prayer.\nBecause these gatherings are unique\, people may come up and ask questions. We recommend appointing a person (like your Local Director) to handle questions from passersby or media. Remember to use restraint and discernment when addressing divisive topics brought up by the public. You are there for Jesus and his Kingdom\, not any specific political ideology.\nThere is no minimum or maximum number of people needed.\nWe recommend one hour of prayer followed by one hour of worship and joyful proclamation.\nSuggested prayer: “Jesus\, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my forefathers. God\, tear down wickedness\, raise up righteousness\, and release healing in America.”\n\n  \nSupplies \n\nWhite tape (Safety Tape or Duct Tape)\, thick black Sharpies\, Grape juice and bread for communion\nGet our Resource Pack at prayonmlk.org and use #JesusIsJustice #CivilRighteousness

SUMMARY:In the Shadow of Your Wings: A Musical Bible Study on the Psalms
DESCRIPTION:The psalms were originally set to music; yet rarely do we have the opportunity to really listen to them. UniteBoston is partnering with Deus Ex Musica for a unique virtual event: a “musical bible study” in which participants listen to brand-new musical settings of two psalms\, then join together for discussion about how the musical interpretations help us experience the Scriptures. \nParticipants will watch pre-recorded live performances of classical vocal settings of Psalm 13 and Psalm 148\, each written by an award-wining contemporary classical music composer representing a different Christian tradition. After viewing each set of performances\, participants will engage in moderated small-group discussions. Since each psalm is set to music by more than one composer\, participants will hear how different musical responses to the same text bring to life various dimensions of each psalm. This provides a unique and memorable way for participants to experience the depth and beauty of Scripture in ways that promote both learning\, discipleship\, and community. It also provides a rare opportunity for Christians of all stripes to gather in fellowship and dialogue about something we all agree on: the power and importance of the Bible. No musical experience or expertise is required by any participants. \nJoin us for a FREE musical bible study to build connection\, renewal\, and hope. Click here to register and receive the Zoom link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/114037053898/ \nThis event is hosted by UniteBoston and Deus Ex Musica. UniteBoston is a Boston-based non-profit ministry dedicated to uniting Christians for gospel movement and the flourishing of our communities. To learn more about UniteBoston\, visit www.uniteboston.com \nDeus Ex Musica is an ecumenical organization\, comprised of musicians\, educators\, and pastors\, and scholars\, that promotes the use of sacred music as a resource for learning and spiritual growth. Delvyn Case is Executive Director of Deus Ex Musica\, a member of Old South Church in Boston\, and is also Associate Professor of Music at Wheaton College\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Fit Family / Fit Community
DESCRIPTION:Workout with the kids and have fun!\n\n\nHaving kids cooped up in the house most of the day is unhealthy for them and for the caregivers that watch over them. “I’m bored\,” is a phrase that’s almost as annoying as “Leave me alone!” as sibling with too much energy ricochet of each other. And\, to be honest\, the pandemic is probably driving YOU a little crazy too.\n\n\nThe solution? Exercise with the kids. Get them to burn off some of that energy while you increase your health. Forget the expensive\, online programs and gym memberships. The Black Ministerial Alliance is offering free\, online\, family-friendly exercise programs for kids and adults on Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 6:00pm from August 3 to 28.\n\nClick here for more information.
