Nurturing Relational Connections Across Boston's Christian Community

Renew: A UniteBoston Backyard Concert Series

This summer, UniteBoston is hosting a series of four backyard concerts throughout the neighborhoods of Boston. This collaborative space invites Christian artists and budding songwriters to share the songs, poems, artwork, and dances that have emerged out of the challenges of this past year. Our hope is that these concerts will restore bonds of friendship, justice, and resilience, bringing renewal to the body of Christ and our surrounding communities. We’ve lamented, we’ve grieved; now it’s time to come together to rejoice and RENEW.

1 Peter 5:10 – After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who called you into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you.

Dates & Locations:

Saturday July 10th | 6:30 to 8:30pm | Dorchester

Thursday July 22nd | 6:30 to 8:30pm | Medford

Saturday July 31st | 6:30 to 8:30pm | Roxbury

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.

2020 Vision Board Workshop

Envisioning God’s Plan – 2020 Vision Board Workshop

In the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, it can be challenging to take a step back and reflect on our goals and convictions. The perfect time to do that is in the new year! Did you make any new-year’s resolutions? Are you looking to be more intentional in your faith walk? More bold or courageous? Loving? Self-controlled?

Please join us! Together we will visualize what we want for our spiritual growth this year and renew our determinations. Let’s pump out those creative juices and find fellowship with a community of like-minded believers. This can be the year you finish strong and make good on the things you began.

“The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.” Ecclesiastes 7:8

and, “Commit tot he Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” Proverbs 16:3

What is a Vision Board?
A vision board is a fun is a board or poster that visually displays the things you desire or dream about. It’s fun to make and is a helpful tool because when you see it every day, you can be reminded of and motivated to accomplish the things you decided to do.

Please feel free to bring your own craft supplies, poster boards, magazines, stickers, etc. We will have supplies available as well.

Being Part of Something Greater – Sage’s Story of Finding Faith in Jesus

“It all changed when I felt God. It wasn’t anymore just to be at church to be at church. It was be at church because you wanted to be there, to be around people who talk about and love God… I want to be baptized because it’s being part of a greater thing than just life. It’s filling yourself with love and hope and faith. It’s just wonderful.”

-Sage Kerstetter

Rebekah Kerstetter is one of our UniteBoston Neighborhood Dinner Coordinators in the Medford area. At our neighborhood dinner this past week, she shared about her daughter Sage choosing to be baptized at Highrock Covenant Church this past Easter. Watch the video below to hear about the transformation that happened in Sage’s life as she committed to follow God. Let’s continue to pray for the next generation of youth in our churches and communities to have life-changing encounters with Jesus!
