Feeding the Hungry of Bristol LodgeFor the past 30 years, Payson Park Church has cooked and prepared a homemade meal each month, and then served it to feed all the hungry who come to Bristol Lodge Food Kitchen in Waltham.
Cynthia has announced her retirement from leading our amazing volunteer teams to Bristol Lodge for 30 years, feeding the hungry in Jesus’ name. Emily & Debra have stepped forward to be our co-coordinators for Bristol Lodge after Cynthia’s retirement. Our church can continue to feed our hungry neighbors in Waltham through Bristol Lodge. Thanks be to God! *** If you can be a “faithful cooker” please email Emily at [email protected]. Thank you! *** |

Sponsoring a Refugee Family We have partnered with New Roads Catholic parishes, to co-sponsor a refugee family, now settled in Belmont.
We work with POWIR, People/Parishes Organized to Welcome Immigrants & Refugees. Pictured to the right is the concert we held to raise funds for POWIR and our refugee family. We welcomed hundreds of community residents into this event. Many music groups generously gave of their wonderful talent to support a family in need, escaping war, terror, and hunger. |

Prayer Shawls for Hospice We have a dedicated and faithful group of knitters and crocheters. Every year we donate all our Prayer Shawls to local Hospice organizations. We pray over our work, that it may bring comfort to all families walking with their loved ones through Hospice. Many families have shared with us how much comfort this brings them.

CityReach with Boston's Homeless Every year our Teens go on a CityReach retreat. We are paired with a Guide from "common cathedral" - a community of the unhoused and recently unhoused around the Boston Common. Our Guide gives us a tour of homeless conditions on Friday night, and then we sleep overnight at St. Paul's Cathedral.
We bring in donated winter coats, new white socks, and new underwear from our congregation. With other Teen church youth groups, and working with our homeless Guide, we provide a ministry of welcome, and hand out socks and coats to the hundreds of homeless on Saturday morning. |
