Marlborough Pastor Eric Sahlberg has headed into Boston to minister to those in need following the Boston Marathon bombings.
A few blocks from where tragedy transformed the 117th running of the Boston Marathon, Pastor Eric Sahlberg will be ministering to those in need.
"Prayers and personal counseling will be offered to all those seeking help during this difficult time," he said.
Sahlberg is the minister for ConnectingPoint Church in Marlborough, which reached out Monday to hold a prayer vigil following the two explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line.
