Fellowship & Service

Abbottstown / East Berlin Food Pantry
We collect and donate food to our local food pantry, plus several of our members volunteer each month. In partnership with New Hope Ministries the Mobile Food Pantry comes to Trinity Lutheran Church in East Berlin on the First Wednesday of the month from 4-6pm, and to St. John's on the following Thursday from 3-5pm to help those in need. Approximately 250 individuals are served between the two locations. |
God's Work, Our Hands Sunday!
On September 11th we kicked off our Sunday School program
with fellowship, breakfast and drinks.
A time of service followed as we put our hands and feet to work serving the Lord.
We assembled CWS Emergency Cleanup Buckets and LWR Personal Care Kits.

Angel Tree & Christmas Blessing Express
Each Christmas season, St. John’s sponsors the “Angel Tree” which provide gifts and presents for those who are struggling during the holidays, with special attention to the needs of children. Working closely with New Hope Ministries we gather gifts and select 40 to 50 children and buy them new clothing, toys, books and fun activities that we wrap and pray it will brighten their Christmas season. |
