Sunday Worship @ 10AM AT SSUC and on ZOOM
This Lent, we will engage in the spiritual practice of seeking. On Sundays we will immerse ourselves in many stories of Jesus encountering people who are seeking: Nicodemus comes to him in the veil of night, Jesus approaches a Samaritan woman at a well, he heals a man born without sight. In these stories, each person is seeking a new beginning, a different life, a deeper faith. What unfolds is an exchange filled with questions and exploration. Often, an unveiling occurs—assumptions are disrupted, a new perspective is revealed, mystery grows. Like the characters in our Lenten scriptures this season, we are also seeking many things: clarity, connection, wonder, justice, balance. Together, in community, we will be asking ourselves: What am I seeking? What is God seeking through me? What are we together as a church seeking? Together, we will encourage one another to stay curious, open, and nimble so that as we seek, we will also be drawn more deeply into the fullness of life, into the heart of God. |

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.
