January Soul Supper
Thursday, January 8, 2026, 6pm

Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Wakefield will host a special Soul Supper and documentary film screening on Wednesday, January 8, featuring The Next Dream, a 45-minute documentary exploring the lived experiences of immigrants and the promise of protection, dignity, and belonging.

 

The evening will begin with a community supper at 6:00 PM, followed by the film screening at 6:30 PM. After the film, guests are invited to stay for a live Q&A with one of the film’s producers and at least one individual featured in the documentary, who will share their personal story.

 

This in-person-only event is presented in support of Emmanuel’s Immigration Compassion Ministry and the Massachusetts Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Committee. A free-will offering will be collected to benefit the TPS Committee and its advocacy work.

 

Due to copyright restrictions, the screening will not be livestreamed or recorded.

 

Soul Suppers at Emmanuel Episcopal Church are designed to bring people together around food, storytelling, and meaningful conversation—creating space for reflection, connection, and compassionate action.
