our mission

the crossing at the altar 

The Crossing is a community that seeks to walk in the life-changing, world-changing Way of Jesus, sharing the love, hope, beauty and justice of God in the city of Boston.

 

Everybody is welcome to join as we gather for transformative worship, spiritual practice and 

authentic community; as we fuse the wisdom and mystery of ancient traditions with that of urban mystics, artists and activists; and as we move out to join God in healing, freeing and blessing all people, communities and the earth. 

 

did someone say barbecue? 

Why yes, Cara Mancini welcomes everyone to South Boston on

Barbecue
Enjoy all this AND prayer @ Cara's house on Thursday

Thursday evening for House Church AND barbecue. Come for the food (and bring some drinks and desserts, too). Come for the music: Cara is a terrific musician and so is her dad, and they can't wait to lead us all in Evening Prayers. RSVP to Cara at  cara.v.mancini@gmail.com - good to plan for a crowd :)

 

I'm back from vacation and looking forward to a rockin' good time with you all in Southie. I can't believe summer is nearly over, so one more barbecue sounds like a really good idea to me. So bring friends, kids, pets (um, I think), and join us by the water. Directions and details below ...

BACK TO CHURCH / Thurs., Sept. 8 @ 6pm

We return to the Cathedral for full-on church September 8, a few days after Labor Day. Eucharist never looked so good!

 

THE CROSSING 5th BIRTHDAY PARTY / Thurs., Sept. 29 @ 6pm 

Come out to Boston Common and celebrate all that God has done for and with us over these first five years of ministry. Jam to great music, share worship out in the open and help raise money for the next five (or 10 or 20) years.

GRATITUDE & GENEROSITY MINISTRY 

We've reached $22,000 in promised giving for 2011 (actually received: $14,851). That leaves another $8,000 in pledges to secure, and a little more than $15,000 to actually raise to fund our budget for 2011. Haven't filled out a pledge card yet?
