Cambridge, MA - 3 June, 2005 -- The Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Cambridge will dedicate its newly renovated building, formerly Our Lady of Pity, on Rindge Avenue in North Cambridge, on June 4th. The dedication will be held from 2pm to 4pm in the main sanctuary.

"This will be a significant occasion for us as a church because it will hopefully make our position as a bona fide member of the Cambridge community official, and this is not possible without the welcome and blessings of community leaders and members of the community” says Danny Tao, Director of Community Development at the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Cambridge.

Invited community leaders range from Cambridge mayor, Michael Sullivan to pastors from various Cambridge churches and the Walden Square Apartments committee. Possible attendees also include Archbishop O'Malley and Senators Edward Kennedy and John Kerry.

The Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Cambridge purchased the three-acre property from the Boston Archdiocese in February 2004. Following a $2 million renovation of the church building, the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Cambridge held its first service in the sanctuary on May 8th, 2005. The renovation combines the traditional architectural elements of the original building with the conveniences of a modern facility.

The Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Cambridge is one of the fastest growing churches in the Boston area, and it is the biggest new church in Cambridge.

The church was started primarily to help people seeking to explore faith or to make a spiritual connection, but who have previously not connected well with churches. The Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Cambridge is known for vibrant contemporary music, a dynamic kids' church, and inspirational, relevant teachings.

The Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Cambridge has a thousand attendees on Sunday mornings from diverse denominational and ethnic backgrounds from the greater Boston locale.

Sunday services are at 9am and 11pm with kids' church offered during the 9am service. The Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Cambridge also offers over twenty-five ministries and partnerships with local groups that serve the community.
