Greetings!
Grace and peace to you!
We are thankful for all of our community members, near and far, and for all that you are doing to bring love, joy and peace into our world. The clergy and staff of Marsh Chapel wish you every good gift and blessing, in this season. We especially hold in mind and prayer those who are struggling with various challenges and maladies at this time.
For our students, graduate and undergraduate, we also offer an invitation. As in years past, Jan and I are holding an autumn Sunday morning coffee and light breakfast for any and all BU students, this coming Sunday, November 6, 9:30—10:30am, 96 Bay State Road #10, 617-859-3750. Come and meet some new friends, or greet some old friends! We warmly welcome you to join us. As with so many things, we have not had the pleasure of offering this particular event since 2019! We look forward to it.
All Best Wishes,
Bob

Joyful Gifts: Advent 2022
Beginning Sunday, Nov. 27th
Advent is a season of preparation and self-reflection leading to the birth of Christ. While most of our culture focuses on the giving and receiving of gifts as physical representations of the holiday season, this year we encourage you to consider the spiritual gifts you encounter in your life. Our Advent devotional for this holiday season, “Joyful Gifts,” is an exploration of how we gather, give, receive, and be a gift in light of our Christian identities. Throughout the season, Marsh Chapel staff, students, and friends will provide daily reflections based on scripture passages, culminating on Christmas Day. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Marsh Chapel devotion series for Advent.
