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.

Advent Service in German

Hi friends,
Faith Lutheran Church in Cambridge is having an Advent service in German next week – Sunday, December 1, at 12:00 p.m. (noon)!

Esther: For Such a Time as This

Join us this December for “Esther: For Such a Time as This”.
We are thrilled to invite you to a powerful and inspiring musical this December—Esther: For Such a Time as This, at the Groton Dunstable Performing Arts Center in Groton, MA.
This moving adaptation of the biblical story of Esther is more than just a tale of royalty and intrigue. It presents the deeper message of God’s providence in His plan of redemption. Though God’s name is not explicitly mentioned in the Book of Esther, His hand is present in every detail—bringing the hidden to light and delivering His people from destruction.

Fully Alive – Life in the Spirit Seminar

Are you ready to experience a transformational journey that could change your life? Join us to the Fully Alive retreat, a dynamic spiritual retreat hosted by the Shalom Catholic Community in Cambridge.

What is Fully Alive?

Fully Alive is a Life in the Spirit Seminar designed to guide you into a deeper connection with the love of God—a love that forgives, heals, fills, and transforms. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the gifts of the Holy Spirit and experience a life enriched by divine love.

Event Highlights:

  • Praise and Worship: Engage in uplifting moments of spiritual renewal.
  • Prayer and Reflection: Receive personal prayer from dedicated missionaries.
  • Community and Connection: Share experiences and build friendships during interactive sessions and social hangouts.
  • Inspirational Talks: Discover powerful insights on these topics listed below:
  1. How to satisfy your heart’s desires:  The world, and even our own past, has given us enough reasons to believe that we’re unworthy of love: to be loved and to love. Discover how God is crazy in love with you and how you can live this truth after this weekend. 
  2. The ultimate choice: We all have our own story. It has shaped the way we think, perceive, act and love. Unknowingly, we’re held captive by sorrows and wounds of the past that bring fear to accepting healing and change. This will be an opportunity for you to make the choice to allow Jesus to come in and restore light into your life, giving meaning and purpose for your life.
  3. Unshakable joy: God knows how difficult it is for us to understand His immense love and care for us when we’re constantly at war with ourselves and the voices of the world. Learn about His promise to you and the finding of true joy and happiness after every fight.
  4. Just the beginning: A weekend together is just the beginning of a new journey, a new time! Explore ways you can continuously grow in faith, in your relationship with Jesus, and how to live it in community after this retreat!
