Marching for Justice!
Members of Hadwen Park Church sometimes march with the LGBT Asylum Seekers Task Force in the annual Worcester, Springfield and Boston Pride parades. Task Force marchers may wear masks to symbolize that gay people have to hide their identify in 76 countries around the world where being gay is "illegal." Some have laws which allow the death penalty for this offense. |
LGBT Asylum Task Force
Hadwen Park Church stands in prayerful support of our Black members, Black neighbors, and the entire Black community. Our heart breaks, as God’s heart breaks, at the racism that persists in our country. We pledge to take action, as Jesus did, for justice and against inequality. |

Youth Mission Trips
Our teens join with Group Mission Trips, which provides work crews of Christian youth and adults from all over the country. Their days are spent rehabbing the homes of elderly, disabled or economically disadvantaged people. Incorporated into the program are Bible study, worship, shared meals and recreational time. The crew members learn to work as a team and to trust each other. Many find the week to be a life-changing event.

Crop Walk
HPC walkers and donors help relieve hunger! The Hadwen Park team of walkers and donors have raised over $1,000 for Church World Service CROP WALKs through the years, and we hope to do it again! 25% of the funds raised by our teams remain in the Worcester area to help fight hunger locally.
