Bridging Divides Across Christians for the Flourishing of the City

The Race & Christian Community Initiative’s Community Gathering & Fundraiser

What will the Church’s response be to the racial injustice we see in our world?

In a time of tension, polarization, and rampant racism, it’s critical that the Church be a witness and further Christ’s redemptive work in the world.

As many of us are facing challenging questions and girding ourselves for the journey ahead, we invite you to join us in community. Come together to be refreshed, to be inspired, and to be equipped for the journey ahead.

Join us at RCCI’s community gathering and fundraiser on Saturday April 5, 2025. It will be an opportunity to:

  • Fellowship and break bread with Christians who care about racial justice.
  • Experience music, Christian practices and creative exercises that can inspire you to continue in the work of racial healing and justice.
  • Explore programs and resources that can equip you or your congregation to respond to racism as an outworking of your faith.
  • Invest in biblically-based discipleship that equips the Church to build shalom across racial lines by making a financial gift to RCCI.

Our community gathering and fundraiser will be held from 5:00 to 7:30 pm. at 2nd Church of Dorchester, located at 44 Moultrie St., in Dorchester, MA. This location is MBTA accessible, ADA accessible, and welcoming to people of all ages.

RSVP here.

Looking Back to Move Forward: Stories from the Boston Sankofa Journey

Join us as our Boston Sankofa Journey members reflect on nine months of exploring Boston’s historical landmarks tied to the legacy of slavery, the Black freedom movement, and the role of churches in both supporting and resisting slavery. Through personal stories and creative storytelling, they will share transformative moments and how they are carrying these experiences forward.

This event invites you to engage in a journey of truth-telling, healing, and justice, connecting our narratives to Boston’s local history. Recognizing that many other leaders are engaged in similar work within their institutions, we’ll also open a dialogue on how we might strengthen the collective movement toward racial equity, justice and repair in our city.

This gathering will take place at the Historic Myrtle Baptist Church, a hub for social justice and civil rights advocacy and a cornerstone of Newton’s African American community. You are welcome to come early to explore the physical displays where they have catalogued their history.

Sankofa, a Ghanaian term meaning “to learn from the past to inform the future,” inspires this journey. Come listen, share, and be part of this meaningful conversation and action-taking at this influential moment in our city and country.

German Christmas Service

Hi everyone,
In two weeks we are celebrating Christmas, and Faith Lutheran Church in Cambridge will once again hold our annual Christmas service in German!
Since our own building sadly burned down a year and a half ago we cannot worship there yet, but one of our sister congregations, the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Woburn, generously offered us their building this year, so we will meet at 60 Forest Park Road in Woburn, MA, at 3:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve for our family service in German.
You are all invited to celebrate this service with us, and please also invite anyone you know who is from the German-speaking parts of the world, would like to practice their German, or is simply interested in German-language traditions! There is plenty of parking and seating, the building is wheelchair/stroller accessible, and the service is child-friendly and will take about an hour, so we will be done with plenty of time until dinner.
Please contact us with any questions: info@faithcambridge.org, and see you on Christmas Eve!

INVASION Christmas Celebration

Ministries and ministers from multiple churches through greater Boston will come together to life up the name of the Lord and celebrate the day eternal word of God put on flesh, and invaded our dark world with the light of salvation. There will be all kinds of performance arts on display including classic solos, youth choir, dance teams, poetry, and local CHH recording artist.

Come for the show and stay for the afterglow as we break bread, fellowship together, and a christian DJ. We may have even have some bonus acts and prizes for those who stay till the end.

You won’t want to miss one of the most fun and dynamic Christmas gatherings and celebrations you will be invited to this year.
