Pastor John Mury will deliver this week’s sermon, titled Hiding in Plain Sight, based on Matthew 6:1–6, 16–18. In John Mark Comer’s work Practicing the Way, the theme of “hiddenness” focuses on serving others quietly, secretly, and without the need for public recognition.

Faith, Work & AI: A New Panel Series

Faith, Work & AI

Highrock’s Theology Lab is partnering with The Theology of Work Project on three in-person, panel-based conversations this year exploring work, faith, and artificial intelligence. Each gathering will bring together Christians from across the Boston area to consider how to faithfully navigate the uncertainties, opportunities, and challenges AI raises for how we work and live. The first conversation is Friday, October 16, 7 p.m., in The Loft at Highrock Arlington. Details and dates for all three conversations are at Faith, Work & AI.
