To this day, I'm still ever super glad that I chose to say yes to coming here with a team from RCC…read morein NJ last July. Such a life-changing week and it definitely transformed the lives of everyone in my team. We literally lived on their 2nd floor for a whole week through a mission organization called Touch The World and got to experience all the joy and blessings that came through serving the people of Lynn alongside the awesome folks at ECIC :) Their arms are so stretched out and touching everyone in the community. From the Haven Project, the MetroKids, the food pantry, the LOTH coffee shop, to the My Brothers' Table - everything they do have the well-being of the people of Lynn in mind, physically, mentally, spiritually. I highly recommend checking out the Sunday services at 9:45, 11, and 12:30 (dang - I still remember it after saying it hundreds of time throughout that one week). Everyone is welcome and when they say everyone, they really mean EVERYONE. They will welcome you with open arms. There is also children program called "All City Kids" and youth program called "All City Youth" if you got kids of those age.

AMAZING is the first word that comes to my mind as I write this review…read more I was first invited by a friend and decided to attend a Sunday service with my children. I was surprised by the diversity and acceptance of all that were in attendance. People of all ages and backgrounds just appeared to be at ease. Everyone was all smiles and very welcoming. Being in my twenties and not knowing what to expect, I was super nervous to attend as I have mostly been to Catholic churches in the past and not regularly. But I was at ease almost immediately. I signed my children into the kid's programs they offer before service started. There are various programs for kids of all ages (Lil' City Babies for ages 0-2, a nursery; Lil' City Kids for ages 3-4; and All City Kids, for ages 5-11). They really interact in such a positive way in all these children's lives. My children left so happy, excited to share their experience, and with a desire to return. I mean what kids honestly say they cannot wait to go back to church????? Well, here at ECIC, your kids will!! The adult service is so refreshing and relatable. There is music, a great sermon, and even good coffee lol. They also have a Wednesday service that follows with small groups so that you can reflect on what was discussed. I have gone every week since and wouldn't have it any other way. For the first time EVER, I feel like I can get close to Jesus in a way I didn't know was possible and it is because of this loving, accepting community. ECIC gives back to the community on so many levels, check it out, don't be shy. There is no parking lot which can be a bummer, but there is street parking available.

Saint Peter's has a long and distinguished history going back several hundred years…read more The history of this congregation is fascinating, since it goes back to when the Puritan arrived in the greater Salem area in 1626. Today, St Peter's is still part of the Episcopal church (See Photos). They describe themselves as: "We are a historic downtown congregation that has served Salem for centuries. We are young and old, rich and poor, black and white, gay and straight. We are an intentionally inclusive congregation. We are a small but growing congregation with a sense of mission and vitality and we want to build here a place that serves God by serving others" "We are community of Faithful servants. Our Worship community gathers to praise God and build a closer relationship to God and each other. Fellowship and community building are very important to our life as a Parish. We value our relationship to the Larger community." Sunday Services are: * 8:00AM -- Holy Communion and Homily, using the traditional Elizabethan language of the Book of Common Prayer (Rite I); * 10:00AM -- Holy Communion and Homily, with special emphasis on the Taize community style of worship (Rite II); * 12 noon -- Santa Comunion/Holy Communion and Homily in Spanish with Latin Rhythms.
