Refresh: A Retreat for Creatives

Hosted by the Leighton Ford Initiative in Theology, the Arts, and Gospel Witness, this three-day retreat will provide an opportunity to prayerfully approach pains and blockers in your relationship with God, self, and others, as well as in the creative process. Activities will include biblical reflections, examining artworks, listening prayer, worship, visio divina, and community connection alongside discussions and workshops on culture, art, and the church. Refresh will be facilitated by Melanie Spinks, a Gordon-Conwell alumna and visual artist, with special contributions from Leighton Ford, Dr. Gwenfair Adams, and Adam Kurihara.

Creatives and artists of all kinds are invited to attend this retreat, with the understanding that some content will have an emphasis on visual art.

Sanctuary is Sacred: Public Worship & Action for Immigration Justice

This Good Friday, April 18th at 4pm beginning at the Thomas O’Neill Federal Building downtown, Christians and people of faith will gather in prayer and protest, demanding protection for our immigrant neighbors and our communities.

Jesus’ birth was a story of migration and border-crossing. Jesus’ death was a confrontation with – and triumph over – the powers of empire and a radical, loving act of solidarity with the oppressed. In remembering Jesus’ story during Holy Week, we are called to be in solidarity with the crucified peoples of our present. This public worship and action calls on our state elected officials to protect our communities by passing the Dignity not Deportations Act and by getting ICE off of our streets and out of our churches. While this action will be rooted in the Christian tradition and practice of Stations of the Cross, people of all or no faith backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to attend.
