![]() We have been supporters and participants in the mission of the Lancaster Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Look for the Giving Trees in December to contribute. Working closely with Manheim Township, we have collected new toys, books, hygiene items, food items, clothing, and school uniforms, along with gift cards to local food stores. Peter’s sponsors “Giving Trees” which provide assistance and presents for those who are struggling during the holidays, with special attention to the needs of children. Beginning the summer of 2017 the Lutheran seminaries of Gettysburg and Philadelphia became United Lutheran Seminary with two campuses as Gettysburg and Philadelphia. Peter’s have studied at the seminary, and served as board members, seminary intern supervisors, and seminary committee leaders. A pioneer in Lutheran theological education, the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg carries out its teaching mission both rooted in the biblical and theological tradition and grounded in the context where ministries take place, since 1826. We have been strong and longtime supporters of our regional Lutheran seminary in Gettysburg. Any food is welcome or accepted, check in the announcements for specific needs each month. Located in our church narthex (lobby) are two “Feed My Sheep” shopping carts where non-perishable food items are collected for our local Food Hub, run by the Lancaster County Council of Churches. For more information about schedules and contacts, call the church office. There are many ways that you may serve God and your neighbor through this ministry. The meal serves about 100-150 members of the community. Peter’s prepares, delivers and serves full evening meals at Grace Lutheran Church in Lancaster, PA twice a month. Listed alphabetically below are some of the local service ministry partners. We are reminded of our connection to our neighbors, people we live, work and play with and who, like us, are God’s children.
