Bridging Divides Across Christians for the Flourishing of the City

Micah Service Learning Experience

Over the course of two days (Saturday night and all day Sunday) through a range of immersive experiences in Greater Boston, we will tie together the three elements of the famous passage – doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.

Contextual Serving: Participants will respond directly to the needs of one or more of our organizational partners who serve communities struggling with homelessness and food insecurity.

Transformational Learning: Participants will engage with foundational principles of generosity and justice as described in scripture and will gain practical knowledge about justice issues in the greater Boston area and the organizations working with affected communities. 

Spiritual Equipping: Participants will be asked to process their service and learning experience in community by engaging in worship, prayer, and reflection that will help them to sustain ongoing transformation and commitment to action beyond our time together.

Book Group: Grace Can Lead Us Home

Interested in deepening your understanding of housing justice? Join our book group to read Grace Can Lead Us Home: A Christian Call to End Homelessness by Kevin Nye. This study is a chance to move beyond feeling overwhelmed by the homelessness crisis and explore a faith-based approach to engaging with it.

The book, written by minister and advocate Kevin Nye, demystifies complex issues like affordable housing, addiction, and mental illness, while re-envisioning our theological response. It offers a powerful message: Jesus, from the margins, has something to teach us all about grace that could change the landscape of homelessness and our response to it.

We’ll meet every other Tuesday 7:30 -9 via Zoom starting 9/23. Register here.

Beginning on February 25th until April 1st, we will gather together on Tuesday evenings from 7-8:30pm via Zoom to engage in thought-provoking discussion around Kevin F.
