Jun 11 2025

Are you ready for a weekend of service, learning and justice engagement?

Boston Faith & Justice Network unites Christians to live simply and give generously in pursuit of a just world. Our work is grounded in three core principles: pursuing justice, practicing economic discipleship, and engaging in community.

Our Micah 6:8 Program connects participants with social justice leaders in a process of sustained transformation. Rooted in compassion and Christ’s call for justice, the program offers a rich, hands-on experience which includes:

Contextual Serving: Volunteer with partner organizations serving those affected by homelessness.

Transformational Learning: Explore biblical principles of justice and generosity while gaining practical insight into local justice efforts.

Spiritual Equipping: Reflect through worship, prayer, and community to support lasting change and commitment.

Ongoing Engagement: After the program, receive curated follow-up resources—stories, devotionals, activities, and more—to continue the journey of justice.

This weekend experience is for adults (18+) and focuses specifically on housing justice and homelessness. Participants will work with local organizations like Rosie’s Place, Miracle Mile, and shelters, while also engaging deeply with the broader context of justice work.

Cost: $120 (includes meals, t-shirt, supplies, and staff support). Please contact elizabeth@bostonfaithjustice.org if cost is a concern.

Full attendance is required.

📅 Dates: August 22, 2025, 6:30 PM – August 24, 2025, 7:00 PM
📍 Location: 146 E Main St, Hopkinton, MA 01748

OneBoston Praise Concert

The purpose of this event is to bring together all children of God around the New England area regardless of Culture, race, or ethnicity for a memorable and uplifting the Name of the Lord as the LORD commanded. We believe that God wants to use this coming together of HIS children not only to bless every individual but also to touch the foundation of this great country (like how he shook the wall of Jericho when the Israelites were praising Him and circling the wall). We are excited about the positive impact OneBoston Praise will have on the community of God’s children.

We are contacting local church organizations that share similar beliefs and are all about coming together for the purpose of God’s work. We would like every Christian organization and Churches to be part of this mission and also support us with prayer, financial assistance, and Guidance in any way for the event. This could include helping with promotion, or any other form of support that aligns with the church’s mission. We believe that by working together, we can make OneBoston Praise a truly special occasion that resonates with everyone in our community.

Thank You

UB’s Third Annual BIPOC Spectacle Island Retreat

During the July 4 weekend, 28 of us gathered for our third UB Island BIPOC Retreat Day, an unforgettable experience filled with joy, reflection, and community. Thank you to everyone who joined us on Spectacle Island in the Boston Harbor. It was a blessing to spend the day with friends new and old as each of us left feeling rejuvenated and inspired in the presence of God and one another.

“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” – Isaiah 40:31

From the moment we set sail on the boat, the energy was palpable. Rev. Devlin kicked off the day with a heartfelt devotional focused on laying our burdens down. This time of reflection set a peaceful tone, reminding us of the importance of rest and renewal amidst our busy lives.

One of the highlights was our collaboration with Ani Inoyo, local Christian entreprenuer and founder of Ani Design House. Ani Inoyo provided the beautiful gifts that added a touch of elegance to our gathering. Be sure to check out Ani Design House and explore her incredible range of products.

Our day was also filled with fun and relaxation. Stiggity Stackz once again brought their freestyle dance battles, infusing the retreat with vibrant energy and creative expression. We enjoyed beach games, massages, and a delicious catered lunch that allowed us to connect and savor the company of friends old and new.

The retreat was not just about relaxation but also about coming together as a circle of restoration. The work of reconciliation can be exhausting, and this intentional space was created for BIPOC leaders involved with UniteBoston to focus on self-care and foster deeper connections. Participants shared how enriched and refreshed they felt after this day-long retreat.

What did the attendees think of the retreat?

This retreat was wonderful and it’s exactly what I needed. My time of rest incorporated spending time at the beach and then watching and listened to the dancers. It was wonderful to connect with other creatives since my community of artist has gotten much smaller. – Joyce Fombah

“I am moved by the love that goes into planning a day of respite for dozens of relative strangers, and I am grateful to have attended this year’s retreat. The generosity of those who gave up their Saturday to serve and care for relative strangers blessed my soul. I enjoyed meeting so many amazing folks and seeing whole families come out for a day of recreation. The gift from Ani Design House was a pleasant surprise. Thank you, Ani! And thank you, UniteBoston and your wonderful team of volunteers!” – Pastor Valerie Copeland, Pastor of Neighborhood Church – Dorchester.
