Grief Share: Surviving the Holidays

THANK YOU, members of Pine Street, for your continuing stewardship.

Being a Steward of God’s gifts to each of us is far more than contributing “money,” however. As defined in Webster’s, being a steward is “one who manages another’s property or financial affairs; one who administers anything as the agent of another or others.”

By any definition, Pine Street continues to be a faithful steward in God’s work. A substantial portion of Pine Street’s annual money goes towards helping others. Not only here in the greater Harrisburg area, but also in others states and around the world. We are very involved with Downtown Daily Bread (DDB) where those in need are provided a substantial hot meal, availability of showers and assistance to seek work and counsel to adjust to the complex world around them. Great mission work has continued in Arizona on an Indian Reservation, in Lithuania, in West Virginia, and the list continues. Your Church has implemented Stephen Ministry to provide help to those in our congregation who may have needs not being met.

Pine Street members need to recognize their money is being faithfully managed in support of God’s work, as God has instructed us and expects us to help our fellow human being. Could we do more if we had more resources?

Of course, but then that’s always the situation regardless of monies available.

Important is the responsible utilization of resources at hand, and we amplify that measurement. In addition to money as a measure of our stewardship, we are also called to serve through one’s donation of time and talent to assist others. Examples include: volunteering to provide a ride to church, helping to deal with daily needs of those temporarily incapacitated with ill health or from medical procedures, providing meals of pre-prepared food to lessen inconvenience due to current life’s situations, and remaining in regular contact with members of our Church to provide care, social contact, and a listening ear for those who may be in need. The “list goes on!”

For those interested and able to become more involved, please let us know (Mission Committee, Deacons, the Ministers or Church and Staff).

There continues to be much we can accomplish to fulfill the directive of God to “SERVE.” Remember, that includes a plethora of “opportunities,” not limited to money donations, despite its significance in maintaining Pine Street’s physical structures and flexibility to provide for others in our world!

On Monday, November 14, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Pine Street will again offer Grief Share: Surviving the Holidays. This is a warm encouraging and helpful event for anyone, including young adults, who are dealing with the pain of grief and loss during the upcoming holiday season. The evening, led by Dr. Sullivan and Rev. Sigler, will feature a video presentation and group discussion.

The video provides practical tips on how to survive the holidays and conversation with others in the group will allow you to share (if you choose) how grief affects you during the holidays. You will receive a personal Holiday Survival Guide.

Holiday refreshments will be served!

Comments from previous participants attest to the significance of this program: • “It gave me “permission” to take care of myself above all perceived social obligations.”

• “There was such a sense of hope and healing.”

Sign up now at the Welcome Center.

Guests and other family members are welcome.

Food Pantry

Giving Tree 2011

Volunteers Needed

A Pine Street Christmas Tradition

We need volunteer(s) to deliver the food from the food barrel to the Ecumenical Food Pantry.

Usually this needs to be done only once / month.

The Food Pantry is located at the Lutheran Church on the corner of Forster and 6th Streets.

Delivery takes only 15 to 30 minutes – gather the items from the food barrel into your vehicle, call the pantry to tell someone you are making a delivery, drive to the pantry, and unload the items from your vehicle.

Ideally, several members of Pine Street will volunteer to do this and the effort can be shared month to month.

With so many more people using the pantry every day, this is an extremely important mission of Pine Street Church. If you are interested in knowing more, call Debbie Olson at 533-4548. We’re not asking you for more money – just some of your time. THANKS.

RETIREMENT Continued from page 1

Who am I and who does God call me to be in my later years of life? What are my gifts and talents gleaned from my life and work? How will I utilize my time? Does my work have to be my identity? Where will I/we live and what kind of living space is needed? What support network (family friends, and community) will I need?

The news is full of stories of difficult times people are facing worldwide and in our own community. This year the Mission Committee has decided to focus 100% on local needs during our annual Giving Tree Project. It is a wonderful opportunity to do something for others in grateful appreciation for all God has done for us. It is an easy way to make this Christmas season one where we think and do more for those groups for whom Christ showed special compassion. Please include this important project on your Christmas shopping list.

How do you participate??

1. Sign-up on November 20, November 27, or December 4th in the Gathering Place at the special table set up for this purpose.

2. Return gifts or checks to the sign-up table on December 4th or 11th so that they can be delivered in time for Christmas.

The following agencies have been chosen this year. d Delta Community — assists homeless parents • Gifts for individuals

d HELP Ministries — provides emergency services such as shelter, rent assistance, and heating fuel • Money for vouchers which are sent directly to landlords or fuel vendors

d Promise Place — a living facility for women just out of prison who are trying to turn their lives around • Gifts for individuals

d Hansel and Gretel Early Learning Center — provides child care • Basic goods and supplies to be distributed to persons

d Community Check-up Center — provides compassionate and caring medical services • New or gently used children’s books

d Downtown Daily Bread • Hats, scarves, gloves

The workshop costs $25 per person, which includes lunch and materials. Pick up a brochure and register at the Welcome Center or by calling the church office at 717-238-9304. Free parking is available in the South Street Garage.

A Christmas Story

BEARS DID IT AGAIN

by Loretta Smith and Margaret Mielke

Bears for Bread, the teddy bear fund-raising effort for DDB, had a booth at the East Pennsboro Pumpkin Fest on October 8 and 9. Bears were given as a thank you gift to people who donated $10 or more to DDB. After all the pennies, nickles, dimes, and folding money were counted and turned into a cashier's check, Elaine Strokoff was presented with checks totaling $909.66!

A "bear hug" and a "thank you" with all my heart to everyone for your efforts! The total $ from this endeavor will help pay for 500 meals!

DDB clients offer “Bear Hugs” as well.

Elaine

Special thanks for their assistance in this effort go to Marna and Roger Holt, Carolyn and Lydia Humphrey, Jane McCutcheon, Betty Rader and Laura Messner. Without their help, DDB would not be receiving all this money.

Several friends of DDB delighted the booth officials by showing up and offering money and words of encouragement. They included Jane and Bob McCutcheon, Sue and Bill Black, Elaine Strokoff, Rich Blessing, and Peggy Purdy's grandson, who thinks his bear is great. Many thanks!

Dining Groups The Congregational Life Committee would like to invite everyone to sign up for the Dining Groups.

Sign ups will run through November 6th, 2011. At that time, groups will be formed and will begin to meet once a month at a place of your choosing.

It is a fun way to meet new people and enjoy the fellowship of your fellow Pine Streeter’s. It's one of our most popular events and we encourage everyone to sign up. Please indicate when you sign up if you'd like to be a group leader.

Pine StreetWalkers Estelle Hartranft, Gayle Goepfert, Debbie Gruver, Marty Gruver, and Doug Goepfert (not pictured) enjoy a beautiful Sunday hike on the Appalachian Trail to Table Rock.

Pine Street Life

The Congregational Life Committee would like to invite everyone to enjoy an afternoon of fun and fellowship with us.

We will be attending the original “Christmas Story” on Sunday November 6th, 2:00 p.m., at the Whitaker Center. The cost per person is $15 for the show. Betty Rader is preparing a light lunch at the church before the show at a nominal cost (If you are interested in lunch, please indicate as you sign up). Sign ups are already under way at the Welcome Center.

Pine StreetWalkers Join the Pine Streetwalkers for a climb to the top of Pole Steeple on Sunday, November 13. Pine Street Church has its steeple and Pine Grove Furnace State Park has its steeple. The hike is a steep but short climb to a quartzite rock outcropping along the ridge of Piney Mountain in the South Mountains of Michaux State Forest.

The reward for the climb is a magnificent view of the valley to the west and north. The effort is worth the view.

Carpool from the church will leave at 12:30 p.m. for those on the east shore. Meet at the Pole Steeple Trail Head parking lot along Railroad Bed Road by Laurel Lake at 1:30 p.m.

Directions: From I-81, old exit #37, Newville, PA -233, go left 8 miles to Pine Grove Road, turn left, go 1.5 miles to Railroad Bed Road just beyond Laurel Lake, turn right. In a short distance, the parking area will be on the right.

If you have questions, contact Mary Gruver at 545-1204 or check out the DCNR website http://www.dcnr. state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/ pinegrovefurnace/
