HURRICANE RELIEF DONATIONS
Lutheran World Response is responding with help to needed areas of the two hurricanes that have hit our country. The LDR has strong relationships in the regions and is already at work on the ground. Gifts to LDR equip them to respond to those affected by hurricanes and related disasters, such as mudslides, severe storms and flooding. These gifts also empower them to respond to disasters whenever and wherever they strike. Gifts to "Hurricane Response" will be used in full (100%) to assist those affected by hurricanes, until the response is complete. Please prayerfully consider sending a check to Lutheran Disaster Response at:
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
ELCA Gift Processing Center
P.O. Box 1809
Merrifield, VA 22116-8009
and write "where needed most" or "Hurricane Response" on your check's memo line.
THANK YOU for your consideration!

PRAYER SHAWLS
Prayer shawls are stacked up on a table in the foyer of Trinity. If you know of someone (or even yourself) that is in special need of the comfort of a shawl and the prayers that go with it, please feel free to take one from the pile. If you are taking one to a friend, please check the sign-out book to be sure that person hasn’t already received one from us. If they haven’t, please sign the book and feel free to take a sheet that explains the prayer shawl to deliver along with it. These shawls are free of charge.
RENEWED IN GRACE PRAYER CHAIN
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." If you have a prayer request for yourself, a family member, or a friend, please contact Jill Hawkins, 717-571-6655, jillhawkins5@msn.com. Jill will start the request by calling it on to the prayer chain. Please remember that we accept requests for any person who needs prayer, member or non-member. Thank you.”

Office Hours for Renewed in Grace Jan Holwig goes into St. Peter's and Trinity's offices as often as she is able. Because she enters the offerings for each church and edits and runs off the bulletins each week at Trinity (that's where the main computer and main copier are located), she is easier to reach personally or with a message at Trinity (717-939-4998).
Renewed in Grace Cooperative Ministries St. Peter’s Highspire and Trinity Steelton are located on the original and ancestral homelands of the Susquehannock peoples and we give thanks for their presence here since time immemorial. We also wish to recognize and honor all our Indigenous siblings who have and continue to call this land their home.
