Sunday Mornings at 11:00 am
Please note we are currently holding Sunday services roughly once a month. See homepage for announcements.
We hold an in-person worship service at Swedenborg Chapel every Sunday at 11:00 am. Our service format is a mix of traditional and relaxed elements, including readings from the Bible and from the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, hymns, prayer and a spiritual message. All people are welcome!
First Tuesday of the Month Candlelight Taizé: 7:30 – 8:15 pm
Please note that our monthly Taizé services are currently on pause.
Needing a gentle, mid-week pause? Join us for a candle-lit Taizé service of prayer, where we search for communion with God through community prayer, song, and silence. All peoples and faith traditions welcome.
We are offering our Taizé services currently in a hybrid format. You can find them streamed on our Facebook page.
The Taizé service of prayer is music-centric, using contemporary chants with short texts that are sung again and again, inviting individuals to meditate on the texts, deepen into them, pray through them. There is also a period of silence for personal reflection.
Be Love, Be Honest, Be Useful, Thursdays at 7:00 pm on ZOOM
Please visit the Helen Keller Spiritual Life Collaborative website to sign up for these weekly gatherings on Zoom.
Labyrinth
In 2020, we designed and installed a labyrinth in the yard in front of the chapel, aligned with the chapel’s central axis. This was made possible through a generous grant from our larger denominational body, the Massachusetts New Church Union. We pray that our community, neighbors, and friends will appreciate this offering as a way for anyone to connect with God and their own spiritual lives on our grounds.
Christmas Eve Candlelight Service: 4:30 pm
An annual service of scripture lessons and traditional carols that retells the ancient story of the birth of our Lord. The service emphasizes the steadfastness of God’s love and the Lord’s desire to be closer to us. The service closes with a congregational candle lighting.
Additional Worshiping Communities
We also host the Anglican Church of the Epiphany, who hold worship services at the chapel on Sundays, 8:30–10:30am.
