ABOUT US
Union is a Christ-focused ministry that strengthens marriages and creates community among Park Street Church’s many young married and engaged couples through fellowship, learning, and service events. Union encourages the fostering of close relationships through small groups, as well as the development of new friendships through large group events or combined small group activities.
SMALL GROUPS
The Union ministry is affiliated with more than 15 married and engaged couple small groups that have a combined membership of more than 100 people. The small groups meet weekly on various days and in various locations in and around Boston, with members ranging in age from their early 20’s to their mid 30’s, including some with children.
• If you are looking for a couples small group Bible study to join, there are usually groups with openings.
• If you have space in your couples small group or are looking to form a new couples small group, we regularly hear from couples looking for a small group to join.
EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
We are a group of couples that love to have fun, meet new people and learn more about our faith together. Various types of social, learning and service events, designed with couples in mind, are held approximately monthly. Future events are always under development and are listed below, in the church bulletin and within the monthly Union e-mail newsletter. Past events (see related pics) have included: Sundaes on Sunday, Couples Challenge (a fun variation of the Newlywed Game), marriage discussion panels, a progressive dinner, bowling and volunteering at a Walk for Hunger water station.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Stewardship & Marriage
Friday, June 13
7:00 PM, Terrace Room
Dealing with finances is the easiest part of marriage, right? Would you believe that finances can actually draw you and your spouse closer to each other and God? Join us to hear a panel of couples discuss God's perspective on stewardship and marriage. Dinner will be served (recommended donation $5/couple). Free childcare will be provided for infants and toddlers. Please RSVP for childcare to Courtney at chbassett@gmail.com.
Union Partners with Care and Connect
Saturday, June 14
8:30 Ockenga Lobby
Come serve with Care and Connect, PSC Cafe's monthly service event. On the third Saturday morning of every month, the Care and Connect team meet in the church lobby (no RSVP required) and then heads out to serve in the city of Boston. We need your help as we volunteer in food pantries, pregnancy centers, and homeless shelters. We hope you'll join us each month for fellowship and service. Free lunch is provided afterwards!
