First Lutheran Church has the privilege of sharing neighborhoods with the French Cultural Center of Boston in the Back Bay. On November 16, the church had the privilege of sharing these words with our friends.
To our neighbors at the French Cultural Center of Boston,
Our congregation shares your sadness and grief over the recent terrorist attack in Paris. We mourn France’s, and the world’s, loss and pray for the families of the victims who perished and for those who were injured.

Peace in Christ.
Your Friends at First Lutheran Church of Boston
