Boston University Marsh Chapel & Religious Life

Dear Marsh,

 

Grace and peace to one and all! 

 

We bring you greetings and encouragement from the sanctuary, halls, rooms and staff of Marsh Chapel. Where and when in this season of multiple challenges any of us can be of service, can be of support, can be of help, please do not hesitate to reach out and let us know.

 

We also and further lift up some of the programmatic features of our shared life as we enter November. The Chapel sanctuary will be opened, particularly adorned, and set for welcome in the days preceding our election, November 4th and 5th. We trust that BU community members, and members of the Marsh chapel congregation will find this helpful. Our Monday dinners continue apace with very strong attendance, alongside the multiple daily gatherings and options of our full weekly program. In worship, we celebrate Holy Communion on November 3, our Bach Cantata with lecture and refreshment on November 17, and our annual Thanksgiving service, prayers and liturgy on November 24. We hope you will be able to join us!

 

Finally, we offer a special invitation for you to join us for two special musical moments this month. Continue reading for more information.


Blessings and best wishes,

Bob
