MASSACHUSETTS: A CALL TO WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH

MASSACHUSETTS: Hear the Call

A CALL TO WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH John 4:24

This Call to Worship is for every tribe, tongue, every denomination, ministry and every individual to come together in the oneness Paul talks about in 1 Corinthians 12, by turning our eyes upon our Creator, releasing pure worship toward Him.

It is time for the body of Christ to lay aside our personal agendas, platforms, denominational differences, (Philippians 2:1-11) coming together as a healthy body of Christ for the sole purpose of exalting our creator. (Ephesians 4:1-6.) There will be no speakers, only worship.

We invite you to come experience fresh evidence of the exchange of God’s love with our own. (1 John 4:18-19) We will be activating Christ’s Bride of Massachusetts and New England, without spot or blemish (Ephesians 5:27) as we come together and reach up to touch the hem of His garment, (Matt 9:21-22; Ephesians 4:16.)

Over the next few months these gatherings will be held in multiple strategic locations across Massachusetts. Abba is leading us to the Boston Common this Saturday, followed by Lenox and Plymouth. Then at least two more Calls to Worship in November in Massachusetts.

What Every Christian Leaders Should Know about Christian Nationalism before the Election

What Every Christian Leaders Should Know about Christian Nationalism before the Election: A Presentation and Discussion with the Western States Center and Massachusetts Council of Churches.

Over the past few election cycles, Christian nationalism has become a powerful force, shaping discourse in American political life across school boards, college campuses, legislative races and more. Groups like Turning Point USA, Proud Boys, NSC-131, among others, have gained power and influence in local communities, including churches, in both explicit and subtle ways. As of this year, nearly 1/3 of Americans identify as Christian Nationalists.

How can Christian leaders identify these various ideologies, tactics, and recruitment strategies in our communities? How do we respond effectively? As a corrupt ideology in support of authoritarianism, Christian nationalism is not new in the United States , but these current forces require us to learn the new ways they are being deployed.

Join the experts at the Western States Center and your hosts the Massachusetts Council of Churches as we learn together and discuss what can be done in our local settings. Our expert presenters will share how the tactics of Christian Nationalists manifested in not only faith organizing, but in education, elections, and general community engagement. For the safety and security of our participants, this online event will not be recorded, and registration is required. Please join us as we strategize to spread Christ’s true message of love and unity for all.

Jesus Was Migrant Film Screening and Discussion

Join the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts Office of Immigration & Multicultural Ministries, the Massachusetts Episcopal Network for Justice and Joy (ENJJOY), and Episcopal City Mission for a screening and conversation of the documentary film Jesus as a Migrant.

We will screen the film together online and then be led in conversation by The Rev. Canon Jean Baptiste Ntagengwa, Th.D., Canon for Immigration & Multicultural Ministries. This is a chance for us to learn about one aspect of immigration, discuss our call as Christians in this moment, and hear about the work being done in our diocese and how we can support our immigrant neighbors.

About the film: Dr. Jemar Tisby travels to the U.S. – Mexico border to examine the theological crisis at the heart of American Christianity — and what it means when a nation built on faith turns its back on the most vulnerable. A documentary about borders, belief, and what we owe each other. View the Trailer Here

Please fill out this interest form and links to film and the meeting will be sent out closer to the event. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Dr. Ntagengwa at jbntagengwa@diomass.org or 617-482-4826 x400.
