The Sanctuary Boston

The Sanctuary Boston is a community of vibrant worship and real connection, grounded in Unitarian Universalism and open to seekers of all kinds.

Wondering what to expect at Sanctuary Boston? Here’s a bit about our worship gatherings:

• Eclectic music – hand drums and hymns, progressive praise music and spirituals, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, Taize chants and folk songs.
• Diverse sources of inspiration – readings, poetry, & sacred scriptures from Mary Oliver and Rumi.
• Prayer – we pray to a love beyond belief. Sometimes we pray to God or the Spirit of Love and sometimes we don’t know who we’re praying to, but we pray anyway. We don’t pray to change the world, we pray to change ourselves, so we can change the world.
• Sharing – we light candles to honor each of our individual spirits and the gathered community. We share our joys and sorrows, our dreams and struggles, our brokenness and our beauty. 
• A reflection – a short personal reflection from a community member on a topic that matters and making meaning of the ups and downs of our spiritual journeys.
• Food for your belly, not just your soul – Join us before worship for a light dinner of soup, bread, cheese, veggies, & snacks

Sanctuary Boston meets monthly at First Church Boston on the third Wednesday, 6:30-8pm eastern, both in-person and online. To learn more or to view our full worship schedule, please visit thesanctuaryboston.org
