SUMMARY:United Gospel Experience Tour
DESCRIPTION:Our finale concert for the 2025-2026 United Gospel Experience Tour will be on Saturday April 18 from 4:30pm to 6:30pm at Morningstar Baptist Church\, 1257 Blue Hill Ave\, Mattapan\, MA 02126. \nCentered on the theme “Come together\, stay together\, worship together” (Mt. 18:20)\, the tour centers on Jesus’ promise that “where two or three gather in my name\, there am I with them.” In these challenging times\, our prayer is that\, through this united worship\, God’s Spirit will move mightily to bring healing\, reconciliation\, and new life. We’ve discovered that when students from across New England join their voices in one choir\, gospel music rises as a powerful proclamation of hope and freedom. \nPlease help us spread the word by spreading the word to local pastors and congregations through our invite letter!  \nClick here to read the story behind this year’s tour and how you can be part of it. And don’t miss this documentary of highlights and testimonies from last year’s gospel experience tour! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Boston Sankofa Storytelling Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The Boston Sankofa Journey is working to cultivate a common memory and nurture the spiritual vitality that has sustained the Black freedom movement—past and present—rooted in the liberating heart of the gospel. \nThis year\, our team has been working to record the stories of twelve Black Christian leaders whose faith in Jesus has shaped their own faith journeys and fueled the work of racial justice and reconciliation in our beloved city.  \n \n\nThis gathering will bring these testimonies to life through a powerful evening of film premier\, spoken word\, art\, and communal reflection. This gathering is co-hosted by Twelfth Baptist Church\, which is known as a “Fugitive Slave Church” for its central role in the abolitionist movement and as a key stop on the Underground Railroad.   \n\nJoin us on Thursday\, March 26 at Twelfth Baptist Church as we honor and learn from the testimonies of:\n\n\n– Rev. June Cooper\n– Rev. Dr. Willie Bodrick and Twelfth Baptist Church\n– Rev. Valerie Copeland\n– Rev. Dr. David Wright and Tenpoint BMA\n– Bishop Larry Ward and Rev. Dr. Virginia Ward\n– Rev. Dr. Ray Hammond and Rev.

Charmayne Cook\, a song by Minister Isaiah Briggs and Jaronzie Harris\, and Storyteller Deacon Robin Nobles\, with Dzidzor Azalgo as the event host.\n\n\n\n\n*Note that only some of the storytellers will be present at the showcase itself. The rest of the stories are viewable on our Boston Sankofa Journey website here.*\n\nThrough spoken word\, art\, and storytelling\, this evening will bridge past and present—inviting us to listen deeply\, honor the wisdom of these elders\, and discern how we carry the work of truth\, healing\, and reconciliation forward in our city.\n\n\n\nDinner begins at 5:30 PM | Showcase at 6:30 PM\n\nWe invite you to sit at the feet of these elders as we look back together to shape a faithful future together—for Jesus\, toward shalom. \nRegistration is not required\, but helpful for our planning purposes.

SUMMARY:Churches Praying Together
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Churches Praying Together – an important prayer gathering on Saturday\, February 21\, at 7:00pm at the Symphony Church Office. \n\n\n\n\nThe meeting is organized by a group of pastors who pray together regularly via Zoom and every couple of months in person – and  is led by Barry Kang\, Pastor of Symphony Church. \n\n\n\n\nThe goal of the meeting is to unite God’s people in prayer for a spiritual awakening in Greater Boston.  We all agree on the need for an awakening.  Almost all spiritual awakenings in the past have started in earnest prayer by God’s people.  Thus this is your chance to participate in such a gathering\, and to invite those you know who have such a burden to join in too. \n\n\n\nThere is a small attached lot with limited parking in the evening (Back Bay Mental Health). The best place to find street parking is on Babcock Street (metered parking on the Boston side is free after 8pm\, and the Brookline side has free 2 hour parking). There is also paid parking under New Balance field in the Langsam Garage – $14. \n\n\n\nWe believe these gatherings honor our Lord Jesus as we unite in Him as He prayed in John 17. Hope you can join us!

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: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.

SUMMARY:Blue Christmas aka The Longest Night
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our Blue Christmas service aka “The Longest Night” service – a quiet\, reflective gathering for anyone carrying grief\, illness\, caregiving stress\, loneliness\, or holiday overwhelm.

SUMMARY:A More Perfect Communion: Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Feeling conflicted about what it means to be Christian? Until recently\, calling yourself a “Christian” has meant that we share a short list of beliefs about God\, Jesus\, and the Bible with many\, many other Americans. Now the same short list of beliefs no longer has the same unifying effect. What could it mean to be the Church in this moment?\n​\nHosted by InterVarsity’s Theological Foundations Department and InterVarsity Greater Boston\, this panel discussion will feature pastor-theologians who will take us beyond that short list into deeper convictions about who we are as human beings\, and what the Church is meant to be and do in our world fractured by race\, politics\, and more. Join us to seek a way for the “communion of saints” to take meaningful shape in our communities and beyond. \nDate: November 21st\, 2025\nTime: 7 pm\nLocation: Central Square Church\n5 Magazine St\, Cambridge\, MA 02139 \n​Panelists will include: \n\n\n​Rev. Dr. Soong-Chan Rah\, Robert B. Munger Professor of Evangelism and Church Renewal at Fuller Theological Seminary and the author of The Next Evangelicalism (IVP Books\, 2009); Many Colors (Moody\, 2010); Prophetic Lament (IVP Books\, 2015); co-author of Forgive Us (Zondervan\, 2014); Return to Justice (Brazos\, 2016); and Unsettling Truths (IVP Books\, 2019). Rev. Dr. Rah is also the founding Senior Pastor of Cambridge Community Fellowship Church\, and has previously served on the boards of World Vision\, Sojourners and the Christian Community Development Association \n\n\n​Rev. Dr. Joy Jittaun Moore\, MDiv.\, PH.D.\, President and Professor of Homiletics at Northern Seminary and an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church. As an “Ecclesial Storyteller”\, she seeks to encourage theologically framed\, biblically attentive\, and socially compelling interpretations of Christian Scripture in order to understand the critical issues influencing community formation in contemporary culture. \n\n\n​Dr. Marc Cortez is the Dean of the Litfin Divinity School at Wheaton College and a leading expert in theological anthropology\, an area of theology that focuses on what Christians believe about human persons. He has written multiple books on the subject\, including Theological Anthropology: A Guide for the Perplexed (Bloomsbury\, 2010)\, ReSourcing Theological Anthropology (Zondervan\, 2018)\, and Christological Anthropology in Historical Perspective (Zondervan\, 2016). \n\n\n​This discussion will be moderated by Rev. Dr. Jeff Liou\, PhD\, the National Director of Theological Formation for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Jeff has been ministering among college students and young adults since 2001. His scholarly interest and work are at the intersection of race\, identity\, and ministry. \n​This discussion is free and open to the public\, with a special welcome to InterVarsity Alumni! A reception with refreshments and an opportunity to connect more with InterVarsity Greater Boston will follow the discussion. We hope that this event and the discussion that follows will serve as an opportunity to explore how these questions intersect with the college campus and influence the work InterVarsity is doing to disciple the next generation. RSVP is encouraged. Contact greater-boston@intervarsity.org with questions.

SUMMARY:Sanctuary is Sacred: Public Worship & Action for Immigration Justice
DESCRIPTION:This Good Friday\, April 18th at 4pm beginning at the Thomas O’Neill Federal Building downtown\, Christians and people of faith will gather in prayer and protest\, demanding protection for our immigrant neighbors and our communities. \nJesus’ birth was a story of migration and border-crossing. Jesus’ death was a confrontation with – and triumph over – the powers of empire and a radical\, loving act of solidarity with the oppressed. In remembering Jesus’ story during Holy Week\, we are called to be in solidarity with the crucified peoples of our present. This public worship and action calls on our state elected officials to protect our communities by passing the Dignity not Deportations Act and by getting ICE off of our streets and out of our churches. While this action will be rooted in the Christian tradition and practice of Stations of the Cross\, people of all or no faith backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to attend. \nRSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/GFSanctuary
