University Lutheran has a mission of ministry to the academic communities of Boston and Cambridge—so campus ministry is very important to us! Students represent about one-quarter of our members, and we support a variety of activities both at University Lutheran and on local campuses.... At University LutheranDuring the academic year, students gather regularly for programs ranging from Bible study to brunch, and the Young Adults and Graduate Students (YAGS) group also meets frequently. In addition, our pastors are available for conversation and counseling. The Harvard Square Homeless Shelter makes its home in our basement each year from mid-November to mid-April. Directed by students from Harvard's Phillips Brooks House, the Shelter welcomes more than a hundred student volunteers from colleges across the Boston area every season. See the Shelter page for information on volunteering. Many students also participate in the ongoing life of the church: as members of the Church Council, as deacons, in the choir, or in other activities that match individual talents and time. For ideas on getting involved, speak with one of our pastors or e-mail office@unilu.org. At Boston UniversityLutherans at BU meet regularly during the academic year for worship, meals, programs, and other activities. See the Lutherans at BU Facebook group for the exact schedule, and contact Pastor Joanne Engquist at lutheran@bu.edu for more information. At HarvardFor Harvard College students, Pastor Don Larsen hosts Bible study, discussion, and dinner at University Lutheran on Thursdays at 6:00 P.M. All are welcome! At Harvard Divinity School, Pastor Joanne Engquist serves as Lutheran Denominational Counselor; see our HDS page for information on our programs and presence there. At MITUniversity Lutheran has close ties with the Lutheran-Episcopal Ministry at MIT (LEM), which has been a cooperative venture of Lutherans and Episcopalians for more than twenty years. LEM offers weekly worship on Wednesdays in the MIT Chapel throughout the calendar year, with 5:15 P.M. services (usually alternating between Lutheran and Episcopal liturgies) followed by supper. The ministry also offers a full program of activities, including guest speakers, classes, retreats, and opportunities for service.
