“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Jesus, in Matthew 5:16 ✨
On Friday evening, more than 80 people gathered for our “Illuminate” fundraiser—a joyful night of good food, meaningful connections, and inspiring testimonies celebrating how God is shining light in our city through UniteBoston 🌇
Keynote speaker Rozella Haydée White shared about the value of cultivating communities of belonging, Rev. Dr. Melinda Priest spoke on the power of collaborative conversations for citywide gospel movement, and we heard about the impact of the Beloved Community Lab from Rev. Gina Tillotson-Cordy. The evening was enriched by poetry from Bill Ivanov and Dzidzor Azaglo as well as a delicious Caribbean BBQ meal.
Most of all, we celebrated what God is doing through UniteBoston, as we gather across differences to serve as a living sign of the Gospel and a powerful testimony to Christ’s reconciling work in the world. Because of your generosity, we raised more than $6,000 to support UniteBoston’s ministry of reconciliation, collaboration, and justice across Greater Boston. Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the work, and continues to help shine Christ’s light across Boston. 💛
