H.O.M.E. (Homeless Outreach Ministry and Engagement), formerly “TNO,” invites you to share God’s love in practical ways on the Boston Common.

Join us in preparing and packaging a hot meal, then distribute them outside the church. In addition, we will be packaging and distributing socks and underwear, and toiletries for men and women.

The maximum number of volunteers for this project is 7 people on each day. Children are welcome, but we cannot exceed a total of 10 guests due to COVID-19 precautions. Masks are required, as are gloves when preparing food. We practice frequent hand washing and 6-feet distancing as much as possible.

You must have a Realm account in order to participate in these Love Boston events. Please email [email protected] if you do not have one.

If you have questions about this project, feel free to contact [email protected].

A brief COVID-19 screening questionnaire will be sent to you 1-2 days in advance of the project. If you or those in your household have been exposed to COVID-19, or if you have a heart condition, weakened immune system, or other health factors that would place you or members of your household at an increased risk for infection, do not register at this time.

A Note about Conference Security

Why do I have to sign in? Why can I not find a link to the Conference on the Park Street website? Elizabeth Lohnes answers some of these questions in this quick video:

If you have any difficulty, questions, or concerns, please email [email protected] and we will get back to you!

MON NOV 2 | Gospel Conversations: Sharing our Stories

NOV 2, NOV 9 | 8:30–9:30 PM

How do we witness the gospel of Christ to each other—and see the work of God in our own lives? One of the most life-giving exercises we can do as Christians is to reflect on how the story of Jesus Christ has changed our own life-story. This spiritual discipline deepens our understanding of the gospel and helps us craft a reason for our faith that may be the most natural, personal, and compelling gospel witness that we will ever share with another person. Join us for a four-session workshop as we learn how to share our testimonies. We’ll have opportunities to learn, practice, ask questions, and hear each other’s stories about the grace and power of God. Email Amy with questions!
