It's always wonderful to see one of our Christ on Campus Chapters highlighted, especially one that we at Higher Things have sought to help and encourage.

Congratulations to all our friends at First Lutheran Church in Boston for the great outreach they are doing at Harvard and the numerous opportunities that they have to do likewise at the many other colleges in the Boston area.

The article, "Creating a Lutheran Home at Harvard", is found in the latest edition of the Lutheran Witness (Vol. 138, March, 2009, p.15ff).

We are proud of you guys and are thankful that the hard work of your congregation to care for the college students in your midst has been highlighted in this way by the Synod's official periodical!
