what's happening at the crossing 

Life is always happening at The Crossing. Catch us on a Thursday (worship & community) or a Monday (service & social & community) and see for yourself ...

 

Every Thursday: Worship & Community

6 pm / Spiritual Practice:
We engage in spiritual practice before worship, from 6 to 6:30pm. Leaders step up to lead us in a month's worth of practice. If you'd like to share a spiritual practice that keeps you close to God, volunteer at thecrossing@diomass.org.

6:30 pm / Worship:
Come just to worship. Or, if you'd like to dive a little deeper, you could create beauty and help with set-up; lead reflections for all or part of a month; offer the prayers; share some art; sing your heart out; play an instrument. Volunteer at thecrossing@diomass.org.

After worship / Connect:
Help with clean up and then join the crew for some casual social time. Unless we're absolutely wiped, there's usually something going on!

Every other month, after worship / Go Deep:
We'll share a more in-depth conversation on something that will enrich our formation as individuals and as a community. We clean up quick and then head up to our community space to eat and go deep. Details in the "Life @ The Crossing" email updates (to get on the list, email us at thecrossing@diomass.org).

Every Monday: Social & Service & Spiritual Community

All Mondays @ 11:30 am/ Monday Lunch Program:
Volunteer with the Monday Lunch Program, the Cathedral's outreach ministry welcoming hungry and homeless people. Nearly 150 guests come here every Monday for a meal, social service support, and a warm, friendly community. Contact Stephanie at sspellers@diomass.org or617.482.5800, x318, for more info.

1st Mondays @ 6:30-9 pm / Community Scrum:
This is where we get down and work out our common life at The Crossing: worship ideas, community leadership, hopes for our ministry,
reflections on the last month, ... all of it. Scrums take place at the home of a Crossing leader, and come with a home-cooked meal. everybody's welcome. Details in the "Life @ The Crossing" email updates.

2nd and 4th Mondays @ 6:30-8 pm / Harvard Square Scripture Chat:
We gather every 2nd and 4th Monday at Grendel's Den in Harvard Square to explore the Bible, our lives, our communities, our world. Contact Chris Ashley at chris.ashley@gmail.com or 312.451.5124 for details, and check the blog to preview the readings.

Getting to Grendel's (89 Winthrop St.)

• Head from the Square down JFK Street toward the river (you'll pass the Pizzeria Uno's, The Garage, 7-Eleven, etc.)
• Grendel's Den is on the right, set back from Winthrop Park (across the alley from Staples and Om).
  
  

3rd Mondays @ 6:30pm-8 / Faith Sharing Group:
