LSS nurtures its partnership with Lutheran churches in many ways:

• LSS Sundays take place in dozens of churches each year; staff members are often present to preach, teach or speak to adult forums about the work of LSS and what congregations can do to support social ministry;
• LSS produces "LSS Live, " a periodical in electronic format and hard copy that features LSS stories, client needs and news that is sent to all Lutheran congregations via email or regular mail for use in Sunday bulletins and/or church newsletters.  It is also sent to the entire LSS email list. 
• There are limitless opportunities for congregations to show their support of social ministry by exploring "Volunteer Opportunities" with LSS;
• The "Vision for the 21st Century" for Lutheran social ministry in New England anticipates the growing importance of ministries which are community and church based;
• Lutheran Social Services of New England is also in the process of expanding the ministry of chaplain/developers, ordained clergy certified as chaplains who minister in LSS nursing homes and local programs and also cultivate support for the agency.
