Worship with Us

Join us in our REPLACEMENT FAST this Lent
Traditionally, Lent is a time of fasting. In the early church, followers of Jesus fasted from food. In the 21st century church, fasting has been reinterpreted. Often people will “give up” something for Lent, from chocolate, to spending money, to watching
any violence on TV.
What if this Lent, we fasted from the self-punishing and community-destroying messages we receive from our culture? What if we replaced these messages with an alternative message rooted in the biblical narrative and the life of Jesus?

This Lent, please join us as we fast from anxiety and criticism,
soaking instead in God’s love and acceptance.

Stratford Street United Church is a progressive neighborhood church right in the heart of West Roxbury. We are single, married, divorced, retired, unemployed, working, students, old, young, LGBTQ+ and confused about just what all those letters stand for. We are Christians, followers of Jesus, agnostics, former Catholics, never been to church before until we started at SSUC. Some of our bank accounts are full, others are empty. We are spiritually centered, frazzled, yoga practitioners, and bikers. What unites us is our commitment to community. At SSUC we are inspired by what happens when individuals open themselves up to the potential of community -- food pantries are established, prayers are said, children are embraced, meaning deepens, questions emerge, healing is offered, and love abounds. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, we will welcome you.
