OpenSpirit is a new, arts-centered opportunity for spiritual growth and fellowship in the MetroWest area. Created by a collaborative of ministers and a jazz musician, we will gather every Sunday at 7:00 PM beginning Sunday, March 1 at the Performing Arts Center in Framingham. Each week we will offer a unique spiritual experience which is both creative and reflective, weaving spoken word expression with music, dance, and the visual arts in a participatory context. OpenSpirit is intended to serve people with a spiritual hungering who may not feel that traditional church meets their needs, and people who may attend church regularly but are drawn to creative spiritual expression. All are welcome and there is no charge.

The leadership collaborative includes the Rev. Dr. Deborah L. Clark, pastor of Edwards Church, UCC, in Framingham; the Rev. Victoria Guest, pastor of First Congregational Church, UCC, in Natick, the Rev. Andrea Castner Wyatt, Pastor and Chaplain to AseraCare Hospice of Boston, the Rev. Dr. Mark Burrows, professor of History of Christianity at Andover Newton Theological School, and Mr. Willie Sordillo, jazz saxophonist.
