Zion Lutheran Church, ELCA Worcester Campus of Grace Ministries Building upon Our First Century of Witness

Ongoing OUTREACH

Our parish has a long history of providing outreach and support to our communities. We have included a partial list of our successful community programs.

Some of our most successful programs include:

Host and sponsor of Inter-Faith Hospitality Network of Greater Worcester: originally providing accomodations and meals in our facilities two weeks each year for homeless famalies working hard to secure new housing. We now host at IHN's 91 June Street home.
Ongoing co-sponsorship of New Americans with Lutheran Social Services of New England: soon entering our SIXTH partnership in walking with families and individuals for the first 8 months of their new lives in this country. This includes: welcoming them at the airport, furnishing an apartment, providing transportation to/from appointments, lending moral support, welcoming them with a community meal.
Host of two local Alcoholics Anonymous gatherings: Sunday and Friday evenings.
