Nurturing Relational Connections Across Boston's Christian Community

Sankt-Martins-Umzug

This Saturday, November 9th, at 4:00 p.m. in Danehy Park, Cambridge, we will have a lantern parade to celebrate St. Martin’s Day! Bring lanterns or candles, and come see what this German tradition is all about. We will sing German songs, experience the story of St. Martin, and enjoy the colorful lights on our short walk through Danehy Park; we should be done by 6:00/6:30 p.m. (just in time for dinner). The weather is supposed to be cool but nice, so come join us! Some snacks traditional to St. Martin’s Day will be available for purchase but the event itself is free; it is also geared toward children, so bring your families!
Feel free to email us with questions: info@faithcambridge.org, and see you there!

Ecumenical Spring Celebration – March 16, Saturday

At the request of local pastoral leaders and in faithful response to Jesus’ prayer “that all of them may be one” (John 17:21), Kinship Farm occasionally supports events where Christians throughout the North Shore and beyond can come together to share in the beauty of nature and fellowship.

Join us on Saturday, March 16! The centerpiece will be an outdoor, hour-long ecumenical Christian worship service. For an hour beforehand and afterward, participants may peacefully and contemplatively walk along woodland trails, and occasionally stop to engage with displays offered by Christians from a variety of denominations. Displays may include scripture and other text, music, art, woodworking, and other creative, interactive, youth-friendly displays about spirituality that is informed by Christ Jesus and that promotes healthy relationships and/or celebrates the natural outdoor setting.

The worship service and displays will be suitable for youth, teens, and adults and general registration is free. The event will be held in South Hamilton, MA. Displays will be staffed from 1-2 p.m. and 3-4 p.m. and the worship ceremony will run from 2-3 p.m. We regret and apologize that the trails, tents, and worship service will not be equipped with facilities or features to ensure full accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges.

To host a booth, churches will need to fill out an application form by February 26 and pay a modest commitment fee of $30. In return, on the day of the event, a basic tent and table will be set up for them and they will need to bring whatever additional materials they need to respectfully present their message. If you know of a church who might like to participate in the planning of the worship service or to host a booth, please forward this information to them.

The General Registration deadline is March 6. Click on the blue button on our website page to register. The application for displays can also be found on the same webpage.

Please direct all question, ideas, and desire about this celebration to info@kinshipfarm.org.

Theology on Tap

If you were going to preach to a robot, how would you begin? Would you introduce the story of Christ as something that could be memorized and passed on? Would you introduce questions of personal behavior and identity? Could robots even understand such a thing? In this engaging talk, Dr. Kirsten Sanders will speak to Theology on Tap on how the story of Christ’s two natures, given in the Chalcedonian definition, helps us to engage questions about artificial intelligence and human existence in the modern world.

Dr. Kirsten Sanders is a systematic theologian whose work has been featured in various publications including Christianity Today, The Hedgehog Review, Comment, Plough, and Mere Orthodoxy. She is the founder and director of Kinisi Theology Collective, a public theology project that aims to bridge the gap between traditional seminary education and the local church.

A Musical Exploration of the Psalms

Explore the psalms in a unique and unforgettable way.

This unique interactive event uses live musical performances as a springboard for discussion about Scripture and faith.

Participants gather to hear world-premiere performances of brand-new musical compositions inspired by the psalms, then join each other in conversation about the ways these pieces help us experience and understand Scripture. Almost like a ‘musical Bible study”, this spiritual formation event brings to life these ancient texts in meaningful and memorable ways.

Join us to witness the power of the arts to bring together Christians in unity, fellowship, and conversation!

This free event is open to all. No musical experience is necessary – just a willingness to open your hearts to Scripture in a new way!

The culmination of a yearlong collaboration between composers and performers representing a wide variety of Christian traditions, this ecumenical event celebrates the unique power of the arts to bring together Christians in fellowship and mutual conversation around our shared love for Scripture.
