Worship at LEM

For thirty years Lutherans and Episcopalians have joined together at MIT to provide a vital, pastoral, and liturgical ministry. We gather in the MIT Chapel on Wednesday afternoons at 5:15 to celebrate the Eucharist. Come and join us.

Our wednesday night services are traditionally a Eucharist service alternating between a Lutheran and an Episcopal Liturgy. The participants are mostly students, both graduate and undergraduate, but often staff, faculty, administrators and alumni will stop by and worship with us. Everyone is welcome to join us in both worship and communion.

Our Wednesday night services are always followed by food and fellowship. Every week a volunteer cooks a great (and FREE) meal for everyone to enjoy. The meals range from homemade chili, to lasagna, to mac'n'cheese, but it is always filling. Vegetarian options are also available every week.

In the Summers our worship services are sometimes less formal. We will hold our services outside or sometimes at someone's house.

How can I help out in services? You can learn to be a sacristan, setting up for the weekly communion service. You can also volunteer to help make dinner for the group following the service, when we get together for a fellowship meal and discussion time. You can also join our informal choir, which enjoys trying out new music and preparing special pieces for feast days & Lessons and Carols. Contact Ben at bcfjohns at mit dot edu.
