Starlight Walkathon

Come to 8th Annual Starlight Ministries Walkathon, to raise awareness about  homelessness and funds for Starlight Ministry.

The walk starts at Blackstone Park in the South End at 9:am. Walkers will travel in groups along the 3.2 mile route to go by places people experiencing homelessness visit or receive services. This family friendly walk  includes parts of the Back Bay, along the Charles River and the South End of Boston.
Starlight ministry seeks to develop life transforming relationships with people that are experiencing homelessness.

“Pastor, will you pray for me?” Shepherding Those with Serious Illness

You are invited to “Pastor, will you pray for me?”, an interactive pastoral care workshop.

This event is designed for pastors or ministry leaders who provide spiritual care to those who receive a life-threatening or life-limiting diagnosis.

Learn more about this difficult topic, practical ways to converse about it, and the opportunities for the Church to engage with it. Clergy and pastors are strongly encouraged to invite 1-2 lay leaders engaged in caring ministries to attend alongside them.
