2023 EGC Fundraiser and Virtual Concert!

You are invited to an evening of community connection, storytelling, and celebration! The Emmanuel Gospel Center’s annual fundraiser and virtual concert happens on May 28th, at 7 pm. In addition to the virtual premiere, EGC is hosting a free in-person watch party at Kowloon Restaurant in Saugus, where you can eat great food and watch this event on the big screen!

The theme for this year’s event is Renewal, based on 2 Corinthians 5:17 which says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Together with you, EGC is holding fast to this truth and we are hopeful for God’s renewal and restoration in Boston.

You can register to join us at the watch party by clicking here or you can register to attend the virtual premiere by clicking here. Either way, we look forward to watching with you on May 28th!

Academic Mentors Recruitment

The Boston Education Collaborative at Emmanuel Gospel Center is recruiting another round of volunteers to help schools and afterschool programs this school year. If people thought last school year was challenging, this school year has been even more difficult for schools and programs. A recurring theme is the fatigue of staff and parents and the loss/regression of social emotional skills of students.

What if the Church steps into this need and opportunity to bring Christ’s love and comfort to these school communities and programs? Our volunteers provide a source of encouragement to the staff and students in addition to academic mentoring help. And the impact goes both ways. While volunteers seek to be helpful, they also experience change in themselves.
Minimum requirement to volunteer is 1-2 hours/week. There are several in-person volunteer requests, but there are also some remote opportunities. See tiny.cc/BECtutors for more information. We could use volunteers to help in Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea and Brockton.
Please contact Ruth Wong, rwong[at]egc.org, for more information. If your church would like to be involved in mobilizing volunteers, we would love to speak with you.
