Common Ground: News from Marsh Chapel

Boston University Marsh Chapel

Greetings!

Welcome to a new school year! As the center for religious life on campus, Marsh Chapel serves the whole BU community, regardless of religious affiliation. We also serve as the main Christian ministry on campus for Protestant students.

There are many opportunities for spiritual engagement and growth here at Marsh Chapel. Why not stop by at one of our First Week events, like Spiritual Sampling or the Welcome BBQ to learn more about us and get to meet members of our community? You can also check out our weekly fellowship offerings, like 11am Interdenominational Worship on Sundays, Community Dinner on Mondays, Create Space on Tuesdays, or Yoga and Tai Chi. Or join us for apple picking on September 18th! You can find more about these opportunities at the bottom of this email.

If you are a music lover, take a look at Music at Marsh Chapel. The Marsh Chapel Choir is currently holding auditions for singers. Please email musicmar@bu.edu to find out more about auditions. Or join the Inner Strength Gospel Choir , which rehearses on Sunday evenings in the Marsh Chapel sanctuary.

The chaplains are also here for you. If you're having a difficult time, need someone to talk to, or just want to get a cup of coffee or tea, please reach out. Our email addresses and phone numbers are listed below.

We're excited to get to know you better and join you on your faith journeys!

Blessings,

Pastor Jess & Reverend Karen
