Come spill the tea – or just drink it. You’re cordially, casually, and somewhat ironically invited to Hillside High Tea – an afternoon of delightfully over-the-top refinement… or at least our best attempt. There will be tea. There will be treats. There may even be pinkies raised. Throw on a big hat, a bowtie, a feather boa, or whatever makes...
We're hosting two acts this year — Slappy Pappy (1:00-2:00pm) and Cassie Kollman (2:15pm-3:15pm). Porchfest is back for its fourth year, and the premise is still the best thing about it: free music, played outside, in actual neighborhoods, by actual people. No venue, no cover, no algorithm deciding what you should probably like. Just porches, patios, driveways, and lawns —...

Summer's in gear, so we're taking it slow. No fuss, no production—just iced coffee, the Keurig humming along, cold lemonade, and a plate of cookies. Come by, grab a nosh, catch up if you feel like it, and head back out to enjoy the rest of your afternoon. No stress, no agenda. Just a relaxed stop on a summer day....
Right after church, roll up your sleeves and give the building some love. Painting, sanding, scraping, cleaning, organizing, anything and everything to get us looking spiffy for the year ahead. Come for an hour or stay all afternoon, every bit of help counts. Pizza for volunteers!
Rally Sunday is the day we kick off the beginning of a new church year. A blessing of the backpacks for kids, youth, and educators as a new school year begins, and a joyful kickoff to Sunday School.

Join us for our monthly Street Outreach in Davis Square, where we offer socks, snacks, and solidarity to our unhoused neighbors. It’s a small gesture – walking the streets, offering what we can with dignity and warmth – but it makes a real difference. We meet at 12:30pm in front of the Davis Square T Station on Holland Street. Before...
Where did the Bible come from, who wrote it, and how do we read it well? This class starts from a simple conviction: we take the Bible seriously, but not literally. That means getting into the messy, human history behind the text, who wrote it, when, and why, and what that history has to say about how we hold it...
The Friday Café is a ministry in Cambridge that welcomes about 120 homeless men and women each week. More than just a meal, it offers clothing, resources, and—most importantly—a peaceful, dignified space for community. Once a month, our church cooks for the Friday Café. You don’t need to bring food—just bring your hands and your heart, ready to serve. We’ll...
Feel the love every Sunday at 10:30am! Looking for a church that takes faith seriously but not literally? A place where you can breathe, question, laugh, and maybe even find meaning in the chaos?

This October, Global Grub Potluck takes us around the world without leaving the church hall. No passport required, just an appetite and something good to share.
