common art, a program of of Ecclesia Ministries’ common cathedral, takes place each Wednesday at Emmanuel Church, Boston. Homeless and low-income people come together and, with the support of an artist-in-residence and pastoral staff, create. You can read more about the program here.

Artists are encouraged to participate in local art shows – and some will be coming to Christ Church to attend the 10am service on April 30, visit with the congregation, and discuss their work which will be on display in Upper Parish Hall and available for purchase. Please bring cash or a credit card for purchases. The guest preacher will be the Rev. Mary Eaton, pastor to the common cathedral community. Some of the guests may also be members of the MANNA community with which Shelter Cooking serves each month.

The artists who gather and create every week would greatly appreciate donations of new brushes, acrylic paints, canvases and yarn to continue their work. Please bring any donations to church on April 30. Thank you!
