Global Missions Conference
NOV 6-15 | 2020 Global Missions Conference
This year’s Global Missions Conference has been virtual! We have had a great time incorporating our missionaries around the world, but it has also presented some challenges to those working in restricted countries. For this reason, we are requiring all participants to register for access to our secure Global Missions Conference website. Please follow the link at the bottom to request access!
Announcements
Singing to begin at 8:30 AM In-Person Services
Beginning SUN NOV 22, we will begin singing together during the 8:30 AM in-person worship service. We will sing two songs (with masks on), one after the sermon and one at the end of the service. Additionally, the liturgy for these services will begin to reflect the liturgy that is typically done at the 11:00 AM service.
We are encouraged that many churches around Boston have been singing for some time while following protocols, and have done so largely without incident. At the same time, our Medical Task Force does evaluate in-person singing at a worship service a high-risk activity. For that reason, if you are in a high-risk category, we do discourage you from joining us at these services, and instead encourage you to engage with us via our online services at 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Pre-registration is required for all 8:30 AM services.
