On Saturday, January 28, 1–3:30pm, at the Framingham building (214 Concord St), we will be meeting with Boston Church members who serve (currently or plan to in the future) in children’s ministry, preteen ministry, and teen ministry. During this important time together, we will share the vision for these ministries and how they work together, and then break out by ministries to cover the policies for working with children and teenagers. 

On Saturday, February 4, 10am, the European Missions Society is sponsoring a Cultural Mixer on Zoom. This is an opportunity to create connections between US and European churches, and is open to everyone no matter your life stage. There will be sharing from European church members, and breakout rooms to meet, fellowship, and pray for Ukraine. Register at www.euromissions.org > What’s New.

Please join us for “A Night Among the Stars” on Saturday, February 11, 6–8:30pm, at the Arlington building (75 Pleasant St). This is a special event for our daughters to be celebrated by their dads or a special adult role model in their life (grandfather, uncle, close family friend) and is open to all ages. The evening includes dessert, crafting, games, and dancing. Please register by February 4 at fdd.bostonchurch.org. Cost $10/person, $30 max/family.

Hosted by the NextGen Ministries of the Central, Northeast, Northwest, and Spanish North Regions.

Friday–Sunday, February 24–26, married couples are invited to gather at the Westin Portland Harborview (Portland, Maine), with couples from Northern New England for a weekend of inspiring and practical lessons, great fellowship, and time to focus specifically on connecting as spouses.
