Twelfth Annual "Adopt a Grandparent"
During the Holiday season, I enjoy brightening the lives of residents in local assisted living and nursing home facilities in Allegheny County. Many of these people have few, if any, visitors and receive little, if anything, during the Holidays. Last year, through the generosity of local businesses and friends, I helped deliver over 600 gifts to residents of John J Kane Regional Hospital, Scott Twp, several other nursing and assisted-living facilities, and shut-ins at Zion Lutheran Church and Good Shepherd Church. This year I hope to help deliver 600 + gifts again.
By partnering with me, your $15 will provide each of two residents a fragrance-free hand cream and help them have a very Merry Christmas. These items are specifically requested by caregivers for the benefits the residents receive. The lotions will soothe their hands and bring joy, as well, by the simple "touch therapy" of applying them. They will be delivered in early December.
Please consider what a blessing this is for the men and women in these facilities who once lived and worked in our local communities. Let them know they are remembered! THANK YOU!

Summer Issue: LUTHERANS engage (magazine) - FREE Download
LUTHERANS engage magazine
An amazing thing is happening in Wittenberg, Germany. A building once intended as a place for people to learn about the Reformation has become a refuge for a group of Ukrainian refugees, who both live in the building and receive Word and Sacrament ministry there in their own language.
This story may be of particular interest as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to make headlines worldwide, yet it’s not the only instance of Lutherans finding new and unexpected ways of serving their neighbor. I hope you will be encouraged by the stories in this issue of Lutherans Engage the World magazine, as together we share the Gospel and care for people — in ways big and small.
