This Sunday: Congregational Worship “Write the Future”

Sunday, October 9, 11am, join us as we unveil our 2030 vision! All nine regions of the Boston Church will be coming together to celebrate, dream, and worship God at Lowell Memorial Auditorium, 50 E Merrimack St, Lowell. The Vision Team will present the 2030 vision for the church and set our hearts and faith on what God will do in the coming years.

We want to invite all of the kids of the Boston Church to join us during this worship for fun, engaging and interactive Children's Ministry classes!

  • Lowell Auditorium:
    • Class for children 2–3 years old
    • Kids space for children <2 where they can be with a caregiver
    • Room for nursing mothers
  • UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center, a short walk from Lowell Auditorium:
    • Classes for children age 4 through preteen

Parking:

  • 90 Warren St: City of Lowell Lower Locks Municipal Parking (next to the Inn & Conference Center)
  • 75 John St: City of Lowell Joseph M. Downes, Sr. Facility

To help us know how many kids to prepare for, please pre-register your kids. No kids will be turned away the day of the service if they have not pre-registered. Please register here.

Missions Contribution/Generosity Sunday

On Sunday, October 16, we will celebrate Generosity Sunday and collect our annual special missions contribution to support churches in Europe. Our mission and purpose in Christ are threefold: save the lost, strengthen the saved, and serve those in need. To spread the gospel in hard-to-reach places, we donate toward planting new churches and strengthening congregations. Our collective goal in the NW Mission Center is to give 10x our weekly budget. Please pray, and then decide in your heart to give as much as you can in good conscience and in faith. For more information and inspiration about the European Missions Society please see www.euromissions.org

Kids Contribution: We encourage parents to include their kids in giving, even if it is giving a bit of pocket change—it can help teach a child’s heart and help them to have reason to celebrate too!

 

Contribution Report

Northwest budget:                                   $15,500
Collected:                                                     $15,403
