St Joseph Rectory, 22 Goodwill Ave, Meriden, CT 06451, US

In 1995, the Immanuel Lutheran Church (founded in 1899) merged with the Augustana Lutheran Church (founded in 1890) to form the present-day Immanuel Lutheran Church. Immanuel Lutheran shares a ministry with All Saints Episcopal Church, which uses the same worship space. This beautiful old Gothic-style church in downtown Meriden serves a diverse mix of congregants. The church itself, with its large stained-glass windows, pipe organ and Steinway grand piano, seats 400 people. The parish house, built in 1996, has a music room, library and conference room, classrooms, meeting rooms and space for office staff and recreation. Immanuel Evangelical also has a prayer garden created as an Eagle Scout project by a member of the church. A labyrinth painted on the floor of Augustana Hall can be used for walking meditation.
