Happy New Year! We hope you had a joyous holiday season! We are grateful to all of you who chose to spend part of your holiday with us at Marsh.

This upcoming Sunday (1/15) we will celebrate the life and work of Martin Luther King Jr. with a special worship service. Our guest preacher will be friend of Marsh Chapel, longtime Marsh Advisory Board member, and newly-confirmed trial court judge for the state of New Jersey, Judge Christopher Edwards. We look forward to welcoming him back into the Marsh Chapel pulpit!

Finally, we are anxiously awaiting the return of students back to BU's campus! Our University Chaplains have once again put together a fantastic schedule of programming for the Spring semester and classes begin in just a few short days. Keep Boston University and all of our students in your thoughts as we begin the spring semester!

Thank you for all you do for Marsh! Wishing you a healthy and happy 2023!

Best,
