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.

SUMMARY:Sabbath as Resistance: Book group
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first book group of 2026!. We will be reading Sabbath as Resistance by Walter Brueggemann. The Sabbath is not simply about keeping rules but rather about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. The author calls out our 24/7 society of consumption\, a society in which we live to achieve\, accomplish\, perform\, and possess. We want more\, own more\, use more\, eat more\, and drink more. This book will help us to consider how keeping the Sabbath allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is truly important. \nThis is a 4 week online group that meets via Zoom from 7:30-9 Wednesday nights. A free copy of the book will be sent to you directly upon registration!
