Marsh Chapel Summer National Preacher Series 2012
Apocalypse Then: Historical and Theological Reflections on New Testament Apocalyptic Texts
This summer we are excited to present eight sermons, in June, July and August, which intend to provide reasoned, historical and theological reflection on some of the apocalyptic passages and themes in the New Testament. Our hope is to provide publicly accessible yet theologically responsible perspectives on these texts, in contrast to some other current and popular forms of interpretation. We are privileged to present preachers from the Boston University School of Theology, each of whom brings particular interest and expertise in this area. The preachers and dates for our series are as follows. More information about each guest can be found on the Boston University website.
June 17 and 24: Dr. Robert Allan Hill
July 8 and 15: Dr. Jennifer Knust

Blue Christmas
Sunday, December 4 at 3:00 p.m. in the Nave of Marsh Chapel
This service is a time when we can acknowledge the "blue" feelings we have during the Christmas season, acknowledge the reasons for them, and offer these feelings to God.
In the midst of the surrounding holiday cheer, some of us mourn a loved one, or feel particularly lonely in our challenges, or struggle with the dark and the cold. In this service, we share in song, scripture, prayer, candlelight, reflection, and solace of knowing that we are not alone.
