Boston University Marsh Chapel & Religious Life

Dear Marsh,

Happy first day of Spring!

It is lovely to begin to feel the blooming of new life around campus and in our own work this season! Each year, the Lenten season offers us an opportunity to consider the things we may wish to let go of and other parts of life that we would like to foster so they might grow and bloom. As we approach Easter, we look forward to sharing in moments of communal growth and bloom with all of you!

One such opportunity to which you might feel drawn is an invitation to deeper connection to our Marsh Chapel community through the step of membership and/or baptism. Each year, Dean Hill meets with interested community members and we lovingly welcome new members during our Easter Vigil service. If you would like more information about becoming a member, reach out to Dean Hill!

Finally, before directing you to our announcements and opportunities below, I want to personally invite you fill out our 75th Anniversary Contact Form. We are so excited to celebrate with all of you over the next year as we mark our 75th anniversary with a series of events and initiatives, so please make sure we have your most up to date contact information so you don't miss out!

Joyfully,

Chloe

Interested in Baptism or Membership?

Are you interested in learning more about baptism or membership at Marsh Chapel?

These opportunities are available on a regular basis, but each year around Lent, we encourage those who are in a season of discerning their faith to seek out Dean Hill to discuss these important next steps of faith! If you would like information about baptism or formally joining the Marsh Chapel community, please contact Dean Hill.

Upcoming Events & Opportunities from Marsh

Beginning THIS SUNDAY, March 23rd, Marsh Chapel & Religious Life will be collecting food products for the BU Food Pantry. Many Boston University students experience food insecurity every year, and with the rising uncertainty around funding, the BU Food Pantry expects to receive increasing numbers of requests for assistance.

Donate by bringing food items to Marsh Chapel anytime between March 23- April 4 or give financially by visiting the BU Food Pantry Website.

Suggested preferred items for donation: nut butters, rice, boxed pasta, canned tuna or chicken, cereal or oatmeal, granola bars, tea bags, microwave popcorn, etc.
