There is unpermitted street and lot parking in the neighborhood around the church. The church is a 0.6 mile walk from the Green Street and Forest Hills T stations.
Proof of a same-day negative COVID test will be required at registration. If possible, please bring a time-stamped photo of your negative test, not the actual test. Free test kits will be available at the door for anyone who hasn't tested in advance.
Please stay home if you are experiencing any symptoms of respiratory illness or have recently tested positive for or been exposed to COVID. Masks are welcome but not required. There'll be window fans and air purifiers running. If it's a chilly day, the space may be cool; be sure to dress warmly enough.
The entrance to the church on Eliot Street, on the side of the building, has a wheelchair-accessible ramp from the curb. The first floor Parish Hall where we sing is wheelchair accessible. There are two single-stall, non-gendered, wheelchair-accessible restrooms on the same floor. Please reach out to accessibility chair Martin Hamilton at bostonsacredharphealth@gmail.com with specific needs or questions related to accessibility.
We'd love to make travel to this singing easier for you by hosting you if we can! We cannot guarantee that there will be housing for you, but we’ll do our best. Here is a form to either request housing or sign up as a host.
We'll have a social after the singing at the Jamaica Pond bandstand/gazebo, overlooking the Pond. It's located at the corner of Pond Street and the Jamaicaway, 0.5 miles from the church, right next to Courageous Sailing.
