Housing Needed for New Afghan Neighbors

We are so delighted that God has invited us to join him in his work of loving new Afghan neighbors. We are still searching for housing options, as several of our teams are working toward welcoming new refugee families and individuals into their communities. 

Please fill out this Housing Leads Form if you know of any one, two, or three bedroom housing availability in neighborhoods in Arlington, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Lynn, Lynnfield, Peabody, Quincy, Reading, Roslindale, or Roxbury.

Please also fill out the form if you are willing to share this need with your social media network and other contacts. We would be very grateful!

Questions? Contact Kimberley Morrison at [email protected].

Greeters Needed

Due to the recent COVID surge, we are in need of additional assistance with greeting at our 8:30 AM, 11:00 AM, and 4:00 PM services.

Interested? Email Randall Wetzig at [email protected].

In-Person Worship Service COVID Guidelines

The Elders met on WED, JAN 5 and discussed the current COVID surge. They agreed to maintain our current COVID protocols which allow for a variety of options (reiterated below). For those who are especially concerned about exposure at the Church’s services, we encourage you to attend the 8:30 AM service in which masks are required. Also, there is sufficient room for social distancing at the 8:30 AM service. While masks are required in the balcony at the 11:00 AM service, the balcony may be reasonably full at the 11:00 AM service, so the 8:30 AM service would be a better choice if you want to have social distancing. During the present surge, we want to remind everyone that attendees are very welcome to wear masks at the 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM services. Finally, if you are regularly streaming services at home, our Elders or ministers would love to hear from you — to know how you’re doing and to know if there are ways they can better support you.

In-Person Worship Guidelines 

  • 8:30 AM–Masking required for all attendees.
  • 11:00 AM & 4:00 PM–Masking is not required, though attendees are very welcome to wear masks. Masking is strongly advised for all who are unvaccinated during the services and while in the building.
  • Balcony Seating–Reserved at all three worship services for socially distanced seating and for those wearing masks.

To see a fuller explanation of our COVID-19 guidelines, please visit our webpage at www.parkstreet.org/updates.
