Low-Income Senior Housing
Our congregation provides six low-income apartments (four of which are designated solely for senior citizens.) These apartments are maintained and administered by a non-profit board, The Nelson Memorial Apartments, Inc., made up of members of our congregation. Through this board, the congregation also works in partnership with other local agencies dealing with the issue of affordable housing in our community. |
New England Seafarers Mission
We participate in this ministry whereby the mostly foreign and poor workers on cruise ships are provided with opportunities for worship, as well as food, reading material, and the chance to make phone calls home. |
Participation with local organizations
We act as partners with several local agencies including: The Bristol Lodge soup kitchen, the Salvation Army food pantry, the Waltham Protestant Council of Churches, and the Waltham Deaconess Memorial Hospital Chaplaincy Council. |
Participation in ELCA-Wide Ministries
Members actively support the ELCA World Hunger Appeal, take part in Lutheran World Relief programs, and support other ministries of the ELCA. |
