Bridging Divides Across Christians for the Flourishing of the City

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.

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.

Volunteer to help the Emmanuel Gospel Center Move!

After having been situated in the heart of the South End for over 80 years, the Emmanuel Gospel Center is moving to Second Church in Codman Square Dorchester! We would love your help archiving, packing, cleaning, and moving over the next several weeks in September as we make this historic transition in ministry location. There are ongoing opportunities for individuals nearly every day of the week and major move events where we’d love to have you and your community join us. Please sign up here to volunteer.

We’ll also be having a “Furniture Free for All” open house on September 24th and 25th at our San Juan Street location. If you have a need for office furniture, come on by with a vehicle and hands to help and haul away anything of your liking.
