"Direct
my footsteps according to your word..." |
Sometimes our footsteps have been tentative, sometimes steady and bold. Despite our human failings we can trust that our Lord will never fail us. He walks the road with us because of his love for us. |

Other organizations that we assist: COVENANT WORLD RELIEF Provides relief to suffering people all over the world. The congregation supports CWR generously through contributions and by participation in our annual Soupfest each November. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD Each fall church members and friends fill shoeboxes with Christmas gifts for children in troubled areas of the world. This is a ministry through Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse. We have participated in Operation Christmas Child since 1977. NEW ENGLAND SEAFARER’S MISSION This organization assists seafarers in New England ports who are usually foreigners working on cruise ships hundreds of miles from home. We support New England Seafarer's Mission financially and by sending volunteers into Boston a few times a year to assist with the ministry. HOMELESS MINISTRIES This church has participated in two different ministries to the homeless. We have sent volunteers to serve at St. Paul’s soup kitchen in Brockton. People from this church have participated in a training session for homeless ministry provided by Starlight Ministries. Starlight serves the homeless in Boston, and is truly the gold standard of how street ministry is done. TEEN CHALLENGE This ministry helps young men addicted to drugs and alcohol, and has a very high success rate compared to other rehab programs. We support Teen Challenge financially. ANGEL TREE In 2001 we began supporting this Prison Fellowship program of providing children of prisoners with Christmas gifts over the holidays. It has been very well received by our congregation and the families of inmates. SCIENCE WITH A MISSION This new organization was founded by Alynne MacLean, a member of our Missions Committee. Alynne is developing testing procedures to diagnose diseases in developing nations. Because individuals in Third World countries don't have easy access to diagnostic labs, often the time it takes to get a diagnosis can cause critical lapses in treatment time, or misdiagnosis, which can be detrimental. Medicines for common Third World diseases are available, but without a timely diagnosis lives can be jeopardized. FAMILY CENTERS IN RUSSIA Some members of our congregation are supporting a group home for orphans in Russian. Other Projects We have assisted other mission organizations whose goal is to serve God and His people with Christian love, compassion, and the gospel message. We have sent blankets to Sudan. We have sent books to Guatemala. We have supported a women’s release from prison ministry in Chicago. We have assisted a Christian school in Prague damaged by the great flood there. We have attended seminars to expand our world view of the World Christian movement. Other
