Practicing mindfulness can help Christians better live out their faith. We invite you to prepare for upcoming sessions by reading "Mindfulness and Christian Spirituality: Making Space for God" by Tim Stead. See article below for more information.

This week's topic: What is Mindfulness?, Chapters 1-3

Sunday, October 17^th, following All-Church Worship,

Small Group participants are invited to a special outdoor event at the Boston's Women's Memorial (it's own small group of mighty women!). Every small group is unique at Old South Church in Boston so come mix with other 'small groupers' and expand our church family. Cider and donuts will be served!

Never been to Jazz Worship at Old South Church at 6:00 p.m. on Thursdays? The Sanctuary is beautiful of an evening: candlelit with moonlight softly washing the stained glass windows. The city's sharp night-sounds are muffled by the sweet strains of jazz: plaintive sax, smooth-as-water vocals, the thrum of bass guitar, and nimble fingers dancing across the keyboard. The Willie Sordillo Ensemble is a precious gem: an expression of Old South Church's offer of music to praise and serenade our God. Evening worship has its own feel, a tingling sensation as we are cradled in liminal space: between day and night, work and rest, warm sunlight and chill moonlight. In the gloaming we gather, linger, and turn our attention to Mystery and Beauty. Here we practice humility in the presence of Divinity. Here we experience awe in the awesome presence of the Author of the Universe, Master of the turning planets, Source of all that is, and was, and is to be. Never been? Why the heck not? Join us in person or at oldsouth.org/jazz

We are so excited to open up for in-person worship in addition to our livestreamed services. It's a big shift, so we've prepared a guide to get you started. Click here for more information

Fall Book Study: Practicing mindfulness can help Christians better live out their faith. We invite you to prepare for upcoming sessions by reading "Mindfulness and Christian Spirituality: Making Space for God" by Tim Stead. Stead explains what mindfulness is and what is beneficial about it. He also reflects on how it can impact what and how we believe, and seeks to find how mindfulness enables our Christian faith to work for us. Discussions will be led by members of the Wednesday Young Adult Book Group. Join us whether you read the book or not!
