The topic for the “Words” portion of the evening will be “The Local Church – Community Activism and Social Justice.” Principals from several Medford-based houses of worship will discuss the role of the local church in these areas and offer a contemporary perspective on what they preach and what they practice.

The “Music” portion of the evening will feature pastor Zenzo Matoga, a missionary from Malawi, Africa. Pastor Matoga has a desire to see unity among the people of God, true worship and world-wide revival. He and and his wife, Michelle, established Boston Night of Worship in 2007 and planted Impact Church in Medford a few years ago. Impact is one of the fastest growing nondenominational Christian congregations in the Medford area. Pastor Matoga is also a phenomenal musician, a talented singer, a prolific songwriter, and an award-winning music producer.

The Community Center launched Words and Music in the summer of 2017.
