The Lutheran Church has been serving and caring for people in need in New England for more than 135 years. It all began when a faithful Lutheran brewer by the name of Gottlieb Burkhardt took four orphans under his wing and created the Martin Luther Orphans' Home at Brook Farm. Another children's home followed in Avon., Mass., and eventually, nursing homes were established in Southbury, Conn., and Worcester, Mass.
