Institutions have caused a lot of harm, but they've also done the most good. @ReservoirPastor in the archives here on why we should invest in institutions that will create flourishing for 50 years or more: https://t.co/2F4fRBlVax

Don't take this as a stance on baptizing baby Yoda... but we have been reflecting, and will begin offering infant baptism in our community this coming year. Read more about @reservoirpastor's thoughts: https://t.co/GPJS2KCVoI

We felt like we needed a Liturgy of Lament for our personal and social grief & our anger at injustice.

If you're in the Greater Boston area, come grieve with us on 11/25, from 7:30-8:30. We'll pray psalms, take communion, and shout our laments to God.

I REALLY need to be surprised by God today, because the world is on fire. Pastor Ivy suggests praying: "God help me to let go of any assumptions or expectations that I may have of you, and today could you catch my heart off guard and blow it wide open?" https://t.co/6DvpPfBFAQ

Here we go! Preaching and teaching on mending for @ReservoirFaith annual church retreat. God longs for our repair. #mendingChurch

Not only is @ReservoirFaith’s retreat leader an amazing speaker and textile artist, she’s also #FaithfullyLGBT. As @churchclarity says, don’t just ask who’s “welcome,” ask who’s invited to lead and teach. #goodchurch

Some wise self reflection from @reservoirpastor on how he chose to center love and kindness in his approach as an educator, and is now seeking to do the same in more areas of his public life. Check out his sermon from this week: https://t.co/Ei8T40yIIB

If nothing really matters, and all of this is toil, then all there is to do is to eat, drink, and enjoy the few days of life God has given us. | Pastor Lydia on Ecclesiastes: https://t.co/cPq5jNDHaA

[Reservoir Church @ReservoirFaith]

In her sermon this Sunday, Ivy Anthony riffs off the Benediction in @ProfessorCrunk's book -- a call for joy in the midst of a work on eloquent rage. Both can be, and God is in the midst of all. https://t.co/liJLQRYjO6

"Courage is to stand up and get out of bed. Period. Nothing else to follow – just that one act. It is courage that is full of sweat. A courage that says “and” — and today, I will raise."

We stand together as a city... using our voices and our lights as instruments of our power and unity, declaring... that we are committed to truth, we are committed to human dignity, and we are committed to hospitality. #lightsforliberty #CloseTheCamps https://t.co/aGFy455IEo

A short spiritual practice:

Pray this, slowly. Dare to hope that God can make our broken world whole.

“He existed before all things, and all things are held together in him.” (1 Corinthians 17)
