White Socks for The Outdoor Church of Cambridge
“A majority of the ailments suffered by the homeless are foot-related. Having a clean pair of socks to change into when you get dirty or wet is essential for staying healthy on the street. Responding to this need, the Outdoor Church distributes over 8,000 pairs of socks annually.” ~The Outdoor Church
Participate in our October Sock Drive for The Outdoor Church of Cambridge. Drop off your new, men’s, crew length white socks in the collection box outside the music room.

Get into the Halloween spirit with a timeless silent horror film! All are welcome to a screening of the 1925 black-and-white film on the big screen in the historic sanctuary. There will be live accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based composer who specializes in creating music for silent films. The show will allow movie-goers to experience the silent ‘Phantom’ the way it was intended to be seen: on the big screen, with live music, and with an audience.
