This is a fellowship of five Albany area
congregations — First Lutheran Church, Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church, Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, St.
John's Evangelical Lutheran Church and St. Paul's
Evangelical Lutheran Church. We share in ministries for the
cluster and within the larger community. The cluster
provides a combined confirmation ministry program. Together
the churches have supported the CROP Walk, AIDS Walk, Albany
Maritime Ministry, Overflow Homeless Shelter, Albany Damien
Center, Equinox, Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless and
the regional Food Bank among other ministries.
This parish based ministry is a partnership of
Holy Family and St. John's churches.
The primary focus has been on serving our community
through a food pantry, soup kitchen, thrift shop and some
intervention and advocacy.
This incorporates a soup kitchen, food pantry, thrift
shop, Poverello Center, and support of the residents of the
West Hill community.
Assisi in Albany
The Assisi in Albany community has an office at St.
John's church in a ministry to support persons seeking
employment. This is across The Avenue from Job Central in
Albany.
