2024 Report to the Community
Homes. Healing. Hope.
Publications from Lutheran Social Ministries of New Jersey offer a deeper look into the impact of our mission, the lives we touch, and the communities we serve. Through annual reports, newsletters, program updates, and special publications, we share stories that demonstrate the transformative power of compassion, community partnerships, and donor support. Our latest Annual Report highlights meaningful moments of hope and healing, from Pastor Bre’s ministry of creating handmade memory bears that bring comfort to grieving families, to Tim Lin’s gift of music that fosters connection and joy among seniors at Crane’s Mill. These stories, along with many others, showcase how dedicated staff, volunteers, partners, and supporters work together to create lasting change. Explore our publications to learn more about the programs we’ve expanded, the milestones we’ve achieved, and the countless ways your support helps improve the lives of real people across New Jersey every day.

Embracing Community
“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:7
Since 1904, Lutheran Social Ministries of New Jersey has been embracing our community by serving those who hurt, who are in need, or who have limited choices. Meet:
- Our community partner: Prince of Peace in Princeton Junction, serving in so many different ways.
- Jane Lessner, who shares her journey with our hospice team in her time of need.
- Jean Wallace, a near centenarian who has lived in LSMNJ affordable housing for nearly a quarter of her life.
- And Evan Lorenz, a young man who shares his talents with seniors in his community.
Wonderful examples of our ongoing commitment to serving our community.
