We received thank you letters for some recent
benevolence donations. On the bulletin board in the bell
tower are letters from:
Phoebe Ministries thanked us for our donation which
will be used to support Phoebe-Devitt Homes and their
work to ensure their residents have access to activity
programs, comprehensive Pastoral care, and cuttingedge dementia care. Last year, Phoebe provided over
$12 million of charitable care to residents who
otherwise would not have been able to afford the care
they needed.
Lancaster Theological Seminary thanked us for our
benevolence donation. This offering is included in their
Annual Fund which supports the ministry of theological
education to prepare students to become leaders for
congregations, other settings of ministry and for society.
Thank You
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
