Next Sunday: Outdoors in Hudson

On Sunday, July 3, 11am, the Northwest Mission Center will enjoy an outdoor service under the pavilion at the Hudson Elks’ Park (99 Park St, Hudson, MA). (YouTube live streaming will also be available.) Plan meals in family groups, bring food, drinks, blankets, chairs, games, sports equipment… whatever you need to have a great time!

Plan to arrive early (10:30–10:45) to make your way to the pavilion for the 11am start—once at the Elks, please park in the parking lot as directed and follow the path through the trees to the pavilion.

July 10: Congregational Worship and Picnic

On Sunday, July 10, 11am, we’re worshipping together as the whole Boston Church for the first time since pre-pandemic, with an outdoor service at Bridgewater State University. Bring a picnic. Come ready for ultimate frisbee, soccer, volleyball, and cornhole. Enjoy the kids’ carnival.

For the rest of July and August, Sunday worship will be at the Courtyard by Marriott, 270 Concord Rd, Billerica.

Family VBS and Fun Fair

Families with kids entering kindergarten (fall 2022) thru preteens! On Fri, July 8, 4–7pm and Sat, July 9, 10am–12:30pm, at the Arlington building, we are planning a special time filled with amazing worship, friendship building, activities, and games around the theme of HayDay: Growing in Friendship with Jesus. Parents are invited to worship with their kids and attend one activity together, then hang out in the parent fellowship area for some great conversation! Our Friday evening concludes with dinner together. After our Saturday program, there will be a Family Fun Fair from 1–4pm to continue the fellowship and memory making with music, a bouncy house, and a petting zoo.

Register by Thursday, June 30, at events.bostonchurch.org to attend the VBS program; no registration needed if you only attend the Fun Fair. For more info or to volunteer, contact Bridget Koha (bkoha@...).
