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 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​. ​​

Dream with us this ADVENT @ SSUC
@10am in the Sanctuary and on Zoom

Picture
We are all dreamers—those who dream of a deeper connection with God and those who dream of a better world. Some of us dream of comfort and others have given up on their dreams. Some of our dreams have been crushed and other dreams have taken time. Gather with us this Advent as we dream alongside prophets and angels, Mary and Joseph, the Shepherds the Magi. Join us as we seek and sow God’s dreams for our world.


​WE WILL BE GATHERING in PERSON, but please note the following:
  • Masks are required
  • ​We are limited to 25 people
