Ari & Mia

Sunday, May 19th ~ 11:00 am, Sanctuary
Arlington Street Church is thrilled to welcome Ari & Mia, Boston's Americana sister act, to play for our Sunday morning worship! With fiddle, cello, banjo, guitar, and arresting vocal harmonies, their songs evoke the sounds of Appalachian cottages, rural dance floors, and urban concert halls. They combine Southern and Northeastern fiddle music and early American songbook tunes with their own innovative compositions.Find out more.

A Collage of Migration

Sunday, May 19th ~ Noon, Parish Hall

Where did your family originate? Let's remind Congress that unless you are Native American, you are an immigrant! Come ready for your close-up next Sunday.

Our collage will be sent to lawmakers in the fall!

Special Considerations for Special Needs

The Arlington Street public transit station re-opened in June 2009 and now provides handicapped access from the transit station to street level via elevators and/or a ramp. A separate part of the MBTA project created a wheelchair ramp leading from street level on Boylston Street to the church office door.

Handicapped access to the Sanctuary on Arlington Street is provided by a ramp on Arlington Street which leads to an entrance to the Sanctuary.

During worship services, and other special events, FM amplification headsets can be provided upon request. Braille hymnals are also available for Sunday services, as well as a large print version of the hymnal and each week’s order of service. Please ask an usher for assistance.

Arlington Street Church has a wheelchair accessible restroom immediately adjacent to the Sanctuary.
