March with King's Chapel in the Pride Parade | Saturday, June 9 | 10 AM |
Boylston Street
As a welcoming and affirming congregation, King's Chapel will once again march in the Boston Pride Parade on June 9th. Please consider joining us in our 8th year
participating!
The 2.5-mile
parade
begins in Back Bay, weaves through the South End, marches past the Boston Common and the King's Chapel Parish House, and concludes at Boston City Hall. As we near the church, our approach will be greeted by the venerable sounds of King's Chapel bell, forged by Paul Revere. Both the Parish House and Chapel will be decorated in rainbow colors.
The King's Chapel contingent will gather somewhere on Boylston Street between
10 AM and 12 PM (exact time and date to be determined). Dogs on leashes are welcome! We should reach Boston City Hall by 3 PM.
For questions, or to receive the latest information on marching with us, please contact one of the parade marshals, Tim Nelson-Hoy or Chris LaRoche. Please provide your cell phone number so we can contact you the day of the march.
We hope to see you there!

This Sunday King's Chapel will be humming with activity! We will celebrate the Blessing of the Animals at Morning Light, make sandwiches for our housed and unhoused neighbors in the Parish House at
10 AM, celebrate Holy Communion and a baptism at Morning Prayer, and then many of us will go eat sandwiches and worship again with the congregation of
common cathedral, a community of housed and unhoused on the Boston Common and one of our strategic partners for King's Chapel Community Action.
At Morning Prayer we read the words from 2 Corinthians (Chapter 4, verses 5-12) that remind us that it is in the vulnerability of our bodies (our "clay vessels") that we are able to experience God's love. This text seems especially appropriate on a week in which the life of the church will be so focused on caring for our needs -- feeding our neighbors sandwiches, offering one another communion, blessing animal companions, welcoming a little one into the life of faith. It is through these acts that we nurture our own faith, and witness about God's love for others. Come and join in this blessed busy hum!
-- The Rev. Amelia Nugent

A service of thanksgiving and celebration of pets! If you cannot bring your animal, we will gladly bless photos and even stuffed animals. We welcome all.

| In Paul's first letter to Timothy, Paul offers encouragement through these words: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." On Sunday, our Middle School group read this verse as we looked at the letters written in the New Testament. At the end of the class, they were asked to write letters to King's Chapel with words of advice. As our Church School holds its last session this Sunday, June 3rd, I encourage you to remember never to look down on these members of our community simply because they are young. As we plan for the Fall, consider signing up to volunteer with the Church School and hear their words of wisdom. Though Church School is coming to an end for the year, we will still provide nursery care through the month of June. |
"We rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep."

We mourn with Bob and Joy Fallon on the death of Bob's brother Charlie, who died of pancreatic cancer on Sunday, May 27, at home surrounded by all of his eight surviving siblings. Charlie was a deeply faithful man who was generous to all he met, and lived to help others. The service for Charlie was earlier today in their home church in Reading, Massachusetts.

We rejoice with choir member Emily Bieber-Harris, who will be singing at home in Michigan on June 10 to raise funds for a non-partisan group in which her sister Kelly is very involved: Voters Not Politicians. The group hopes "to fix Michigan's broken redistricting process through a constitutional amendment against gerrymandering."

Accessibility Assists
Our beautiful Georgian sanctuary designed by Peter Harrison and completed in 1754, has been lovingly maintained by the congregation since its completion. One of the box pews has been made wheel-chair accessible. Ushers are available to assist those who are wheelchair-bound to that pew.
A sound system has been installed in the sanctuary of The Chapel to amplify the sound during worship services. Hearing assistance devices are available for your use. Please see an Usher for assistance.
