What is the Eliot Church of Newton like? |
I remember the first time on entering Eliot – there was a big bearded guy in bib overalls singing loudly, and an old dog who walked up the center aisle and then lay next to his owner’s wheelchair in the front pew. I said to myself, I think this church could work for me. Over time I had the opportunity to become involved in different work at Eliot and hear what others were doing; to see the kids learn and grow in a safe environment, and to see how members cared for each other.
