This Sunday
March 19

Christ and the Samaritan Woman  
 
At the 10:30 am service we hear the story of the Samaritan woman at the well . Our seminarian Christopher Simon will preach on what this story teaches us about the importance of knowing and being known by each other.

Barbara Layne will be giving the reflection at the Celtic Service at 5:00 pm. Our prayers and meditative words and songs will reflect the story of the woman at the well.

Please join us wherever you are
in your search for meaning.

Welcome to our Seminarian,
Christopher Simon

We extend a formal welcome to our ministry intern, Christopher Simon. Chris will be serving us throughout 2017 as part of his program at Boston University School of Theology, where he is pursuing both Masters of Theology and Masters of Sacred Music degrees.
 
Before coming to Boston, Chris graduated from Kenyon College with a Bachelors of Arts in Music, focusing in conducting and composition. He served a year in the Lutheran Volunteer Corps in Wilmington, Delaware, before taking part in a year-long, country-wide documentary project called Bus 52. In addition to camera work and writing entries for the project's blog, Chris composed original music for each of the 100 videos focused on people and small groups finding creative ways to improve their local communities.
 
In addition to his position at Grace, Chris also serves as the Assistant Director of the Boston University Seminary Singers.
 
We are quite excited to have Chris with us this year!
