Congregational Presentation: Shaping Our Faith in Action—Next Steps for the King’s Chapel Memorial Project. Meet MASS Design - profiled on 60 Minutes this week.
Sunday, November 14 at 7:00 PM
Last week we announced a presentation on Sunday, November 14 by members of our King’s Chapel Memorial Project and MASS Design to update the congregation on our efforts to acknowledge and memorialize KC’s historical connections with enslaved individuals. We are thrilled to be engaging MASS, a firm with strong ties to Boston as well as national and international experience in justice-based design.
|
|
60 Minutes profiled MASS—short for Model of Architecture Serving Society—exploring the ways that this “group of award-winning young architects have set out to create a new model of architecture—[a new way of ] thinking about how to build, who should build, using what, and for whom.” Click here to view the profile, highlighting their work with Dr. Paul Farmer in Rwanda and cities in the US. Discover why we are excited to have their partnership on our Memorial Project.

Book Group: Reading the Gospel of Mark - Artistry and Mystery
Tuesday, November 16 at 5:00 PM
When we spend time with a Gospel, what surprises do we find? Member Tim Nelson-Hoy has beautifully hand-copied the Gospel of Mark in calligraphy, twice, as a spiritual discipline. Pre-register for these two Zoom classes and receive one of the 30 copies the church has produced to share. Holding the book in your hands, hear from Tim how this process opened up new insights and mysteries into this oldest of the Gospels—and share insights (and mysteries) you have discovered yourself. Mark takes only about 90 minutes to read, from beginning to end.
|
|
In the second session, Tuesday November 16th, 5-6 PM, we will discuss the Gospel as a whole. What do we gain when we read the Gospel of Mark as a complete story? What do we understand, and what remains mysterious?
Click here to register. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Please contact Laura to share how you'd like to receive the book in advance (pick up or by mail).

Theology on Tap: Faith and Memory
Wednesday, November 17 at 6:00PM
November brings us many occasions to remember. On All Saints, All Souls Sunday, we remember those dear to us who’ve departed this world. Veterans Day offers us an opportunity to commemorate those who’ve served in uniform. On November 14, we’ll hear from our Memorial Project Committee and MASS Design about the progress and next steps for memorializing those enslaved persons connected to King’s Chapel. On Thanksgiving Sunday we’ll remember those Indigenous peoples whose land we occupy, even as we give thanks for our blessings.
How does our practice of faith help us remember? What do our sacred stories have to tell us about our call to remembrance? What memories do you find consoling or challenging as our season after Pentecost draws to a close and we approach Advent? Join David on November 17 for Theology on Tap as we ponder these questions of faith and memory.

Our Stewardship year is coming to an end and we need to be sure that everyone does their part to be sure our beloved King's Chapel has all the funds it needs for the coming year. Our recent letters hopefully reminded you to send in your gift, right away.
