Outreach
Gary Rowen, Team Leader

The purpose of the outreach ministry is to inform the congregation of the work and needs of the Western Pennsylvania Evangelical Lutheran Synod and its outreach ministries including; Lutheran World Hunger, Lutheran World Relief, Lutheran Social Services, Glade Run, and missionary support in Madagascar.

In addition, the Outreach committee informs the congregation of the interdenominational needs in the Pittsburgh area, such as the Caring Program for children (health care), Meals on Wheels in Bethel Park, the Jubilee Kitchen in Polish Hill, Washington Mission in Wash. Pa.- The Rainbow Kitchen in Homestead, and the South Hills Inter Faith Ministries (SHIM) program. Periodically throughout the year the committee organizes and collects from the congregation boxes of canned food stuffs for the various soup kitchens and after school Kitchens; towels, wash cloths, soap and personnel care products for the homeless shelters; coats, backpacks and Christmas gifts for the after school programs and boxtops for education.

 How you can help
Please clip out the UPC code on Campbell Soup labels and their related products including: Campbell, Campbell Chunky Soup, Campbell Healthy Request, Franco American, Peperidge Farm, Spaghettios, Swanson, V8 Beverages, Fusion, Prego Italian Sauces, Campbell's Foodservice. If necessary, instructions are located on the side of the box located in the narthex indicating the location of the UPC code.

Bring non-perishable food donations for the food bank and place them in the box in the narthex for the South Hills Interfaith Ministry's food pantry, which distributes to people in our own neighborhoods. This food will also be available to anyone in our congregation that has a need. Just talk with Pastor and your needs will be met confidentially. There are magnets available in the narthex to place on your refrigerator to use as a reminder. We thank you for your help and ask God's blessing as we follow what Jesus tells us to "Go and feed the poor."

SHIM will be selling Enjoy and Entertainment Books as a fundraiser this year. SHIM will receive $10.00 for every book sold. Please contact Gary Rowan at (412) 805-9876.
