Survivor Share with Route One Ministry

Join Route One Ministry on March 18th at 10:00am via zoom as we highlight the realities of trafficking here in the US and hear Tricia Grant’s own story of being trafficked. We as an organization  strive to serve women sexually exploited and trafficked by the commercial sex industry. We strive to listen first and assist second. We hope to be a connection to the resources women need to leave the sex industry, as they need.

The Prophet Project (online)

Still Small Theatre presents The Prophet Project, a play about the timeless story of God’s love for the world, told through the timely words of the ancient Hebrew prophets.

On September 18th, join a virtual watch party of the show (filmed summer 2019) and live Q&A with some of the artists involved! The event will be held on YouTube Live, and the show will be available streaming on YouTube until October 3rd.

Inspired by the Biblical story of the prophet Hosea and his wife Gomer, The Prophet Project weaves together the words of the Biblical prophets along with movement, music, and more  to tell the story of God’s enduring love for Israel, and for all of humanity. Due to some of the mature themes of Scripture, The Prophet Project is not recommended for young children. But for adults, teens, and mature middle schoolers, it is a thought-provoking reflection and conversation starter on the themes of sin, idolatry, injustice, redemption, and how Christians can continue to reveal the heart of God to a broken world.

This watch party kicks off Still Small’s new Virtual Performance Packages, which allow churches to book an entirely virtual event — complete with play, Q&A with cast, and 6-part video Bible study series! Packages become available November 1.
See www.stillsmalltheatre.com for more information!

Links to Re-Watch the Love Boston Concert

The incredible music that was produced at the Love Boston concert can be re-watched while you’re at work, cooking, or doing chores around the house!

On September 12, 2020 UniteBoston released our concert premiere entitled “Love Boston.” Amidst the challenges of today’s public health crisis and racial injustices, seven local Christian artists representing hip-hop, worship, soul, spoken word, and gospel genres united to share original artistic responses to the challenges we are facing as a city and nation. They challenged people to “love thy neighbor,” and inspired us in the action steps we can take forward together in this unprecedented cultural moment.

Featured artists include: Caleb McCoy, Shanell Alyssa, Ada Betsabè, Jen Aldana, Jeany Alcántara, Fugi, and Jalen Williams. Click here to meet the artists! Now more than ever, our souls need beauty and art that moves us toward faith, justice, and resilience, loving our neighbor, and toward Jesus in worship! Click on the artist names above to follow them & listen to more music by them!

We also had a variety of viewing parties take place throughout the city – Here was the Dorchester backyard viewing party! You can’t see it, but we are smiling behind these masks!

While we missed having the opportunity to worship together physically in the Boston Common, the beauty of this year’s worship event is that all of the videos can be re-watched and shared. You can watch it while cooking, working from home, doing the dishes or folding the laundry, walking in the park, commuting on the subway, the list goes on and on!

Click here to watch the concert on Facebook – includes chat comments

Music only version of the concert

Lori Dupre created a progressive painting where the artists place their handprints over words like global pandemic, economic stress, and fear, replaced by words of healing and hope and a cityscape of Boston. This painting will be auctioned off at our concert premiere

Finally, we wanted to take time to thank our concert sponsors – the Emmanuel Gospel Center, Resurrection Church, Restoration City Church, Grace Chapel, Standing Ovation Entertainment, and the Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston, as well as everyone who contributed to our production costs! Also, thank you to everyone who donated to support the artists – The contributions for the artists totaled $1575, which will help to fuel and further their music ministries in this crucial moment! Thank you so much for joining into this united worship movement where people of every nation, people and language are coming together to worship Jesus! (Rev. 7:9!)
