SUMMARY:Tremont Temple Balcony Restoration Project - Volunteer Day
DESCRIPTION:Tremont Temple Baptist Church is a historically influential church in the heart of downtown Boston. With a seating capacity of 1752\, the main sanctuary is one of the largest Christian worship spaces in Boston.  Unfortunately\, the upper balcony is largely unused because nearly 800 seats are in poor condition and need to be reupholstered.  A team of us are coordinating a major restoration project that will employ formerly incarcerated individuals to do the bulk of the work. \nWe are sponsoring a volunteer day on July 19 to clean the iron frames of the seats. \nWe are also looking for financial sponsors to help fund the project. Every gift of $250 or above will be recognized with a name plate attached to a seat as was done in 1896!

SUMMARY:A Long Repentance discussion group
DESCRIPTION:This January – February 2022\, Mako Nagasawa will be leading a new cohort of discussions in A Long Repentance\, about how Christian heresies influence our American racial and political climate\, and what we can do about it!\nPeople talk about issues of race and justice in the United States as issues of ‘justice and injustice.’  Sometimes we launch into debates about ‘the proper role of government.’  But that is not the original framework from which these issues were asked and debated. \nThe purpose of our discussion groups in A Long Repentance: Exploring Christian Mistakes About Race\, Politics\, and Justice in the United States is to show how these issues began as Christian heresies.  Colonialism changed Christian beliefs and practices.  Since Christians enacted and institutionalized these practices\, we bear a unique responsibility for changing them.  We must continue to resist the very heresies that earlier Christians put into motion.  The journey is long and challenging.  It may be impossible to see the end.  But along the way\, it is also inspiring and sometimes breathtaking.

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:Aardvark Jazz Orchestra\, Duke Ellington's Sacred Music
DESCRIPTION:The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra (Mark Harvey\, director) will open its historic 47th season with a Duke Ellington Celebration\, including tuneful classics and joyful sacred music featuring the First Parish of Concord choir\, directed by Elizabeth Norton\, with Nikki Turpin\, narrator.  The concert will be held Sunday\, September 22 at 7:00 pm at First Parish Church of Concord MA.  The program is sponsored by the Music Ministry of First Parish in collaboration with The Robbins House.  Aardvark has been called “stunningly beautiful” (New York City Jazz Record)\, “spellbinding” (The Boston Globe) and “one of the best jazz ensembles in the world” (Jazz Podium\, Germany).  The band has been praised for “lush sonorities and a saxophonic blend worthy of Ellington’s finest reed sections” (JazzTimes). \nThe concert will honor Duke Ellington (1899-1974) in his 120th birthday year with a program celebrating joy\, justice\, and love – themes that were important for Ellington throughout his life.  Although not a religious event\, the program embraces the tenets of Christianity in celebrating social justice\, equality and inclusiveness.  The Reverend Dr Mark Harvey\, Aardvark’s founder and music director is a retired Methodist minister\, who has written compositions on themes of spirituality\, peace and justice and led his orchestra in concerts for these causes for 50 years.  The September 22 concert will feature music from Ellington’s Sacred Concerts\, including Heaven and New World A-Comin’ which Duke described as “a place where there would be no war\, no greed\, no categorization\, and where love would be unconditional.”  The First Parish choir will join Aardvark in two sacred works:  the ebullient David Danced before the Lord\, and It’s Freedom\, a powerful expression of Civil-Rights-era fervor with resonance for today. \nThe Aardvark Jazz Orchestra performs widely\, has premiered more than 175 works for jazz orchestra\, and has released 15 CDs\, including 9 discs on Leo Records and a recording of Duke Ellington’s Sacred Music on the Aardmuse label.  Aardvark guests have included Sheila Jordan\, Ricky Ford\, Geri Allen\, Jaki Byard\, Jimmy Giuffre and other luminaries.  The band has performed Ellington concerts for more than three decades\, including an Ellington Centennial Concert in 1999 at MIT’s mainstage Kresge Auditorium.  Mark Harvey has transcribed many Ducal works\, and has written and lectured about Ellington for more than 25 years. \nAardvark is: Arni Cheatham\, Peter H.
