Our Mission

Directions

Starting with our monthly business meeting on January 3, we have a new meeting place:

St. Timothy's Lutheran Church
140 South Ott Street
Allentown, PA

It is best to enter the church property using Emerson Street, on which there is an entrance into the rear church parking lot. For those familiar with Allentown, Emerson Street intersects with Hamilton Boulevard three streets west of 26th Street.

The entrance to the meeting room is at the lower level of the church and is easily accessed from the rear parking lot.

For those unfamiliar with Allentown, the key is Route 309. From the south, Routes 78 and 309 are one. From the north, east or west, take Route 309 south from Route 22. Follow Route 309 until the intersection of Hamilton Boulevard. Take Hamilton Boulevard east 2 miles to Emerson Street, and turn right. The rear church parking lot wil be on the left.
