Nurturing Relational Connections Across Boston's Christian Community

Afternoon of the Arts, Winter’s Light

This January 26th, we hold our second Afternoon of the Arts! The afternoon will feature the work of two local visual artists, Heidi Lee and @Juantopia (Juan G. Santos), and have performance art during our open mic. Our theme for the afternoon is Winter’s Light.

We hope to see you there!

Winter officially begins on the shortest day of the year: the Winter Solstice. This also means that on this same day, the cold, bare, harsh environment of the Winter season begins the journey towards… its end. Each and every day thereafter promises more sunlight and eventually—eventually—more warmth, warmth that bears new life.

May this January 26th gathering invite us to both confront cold, frost-bitten circumstances laid bare and claim the hope we have of warmer days and renewed life to come, one season away, figuratively and literally.

The Upper Room Worship Experience

We are inviting all Pastors, ministers, and Christians to join us in worship and prayer during the week of prayer for Christian Unity.

This is an event open to all or non-denominational Christian communities to bring unity in the Body of Christ. We want to give Boston the opportunity to come together and worship but most importantly pray for Christian unity.

Abiding in Beloved Community: The Cory Johnson Program through the Lens of Literary Imagination; a Talk by Rev. Liz Walker

Join us as we look at our Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing (CJP) trauma work through the lens of literary imagination. Activists, intellectuals and artists throughout contemporary history have eluded to the beloved community as a place and mindset of grace filled justice and reconciliation. Through the words of Dr. Martin Luther King and literary artists including the incomparable                  Tony Morrison, Reverend Liz Walker presents a meditation on CJP as the model of that beloved community, a groundbreaking antidote for these troubled times.

INVASION

About 2000 years ago, the eternal word of God invaded our world by becoming flesh and walking on the face of the earth (John 1:1-14). As followers of Christ, we celebrate His miraculous birth regularly, however, during this time of the year we have the opportunity to make an even bigger deal of this INVASION as the whole world tunes in during the Christmas season. Come join us as we celebrate and worship the King of Kings through song, dance, spoken word, rap, art, and musicianship. More than 5 Greater Boston church ministries will come together on this night to offer our artistic abilities to the glory of God, and we are looking forward to you joining us.

The tickets are priced so that everyone can afford to come out so see you there on Saturday, Dec 14th @6:30PM. Come for the show, and stay for the afterglow with DJ Guital!
