“By grace you have been saved...”

Ephesians 2:8 – this is the theme of this

year’s ELCA National Youth

Gathering. Our youth will dig deep

into this fundamental part of the

Lutheran faith when they travel to

Houston this summer. They are also

going to dig deep into service

projects. And we are asking you to

continue to dig deep with your

financial support for the costs of this trip! Just take an

envelope from the bulletin board in the Gathering Space, fill

it with the amount listed on the front (cash, check, or donate

at the Giving Station), and put in offering. Then SMILE—you

are a blessing to the youth and their advisors!


Results of Thanks & Giving event last Sunday

• Hundreds of pounds of turkey roasted and carved

• Thanksgiving cards drawn/decorated by Trinity kids

• Almost 300 pounds of non-perishable food collected and

taken to New Hope Ministry

• 175 meals packaged and delivered to elderly Trinity

members and members of our surrounding communities

• 30 meals taken to Susquehanna Safe Harbor homeless

shelter

• All remaining food delivered to Bethesda Mission

All this happened while we had a FUN time at an 80’s dance

party with a full-size turkey running around Fellowship Hall.

Trinity is blessed to have a community of people during the

holidays to help others, all while working together in

wonderful fellowship. So THANK YOU to all 150+ volunteers

who made these results happen. We know this is a busy time

of year, and we’re so glad you chose to be part of Trinity’s

Thanks & Giving celebration!

Isaac's Community Night is coming up fast! That's right, our

Isaac's Community Night Fundraiser is on Wednesday,

December 6, from 5–9 pm. On this night, you are invited to

dine at Isaac's in the Lemoyne Plaza. When you pay, just turn

in a filled-out "Community Night" flyer with your bill. Isaac's will

donate 25 percent of that bill to help to send our Sr. High YG

to the 2018 ELCA National Youth Gathering in Houston next

summer. It's a win-win night: You get great food AND you

support our YG! Spread the word! Pick up several flyers in the

Gathering Space and get them out to all friends and family.

P.S. This fundraiser works for take-out orders, too!

Building Plan Q&A

If you’ve heard the talk about building renovation plans

but haven’t attended any of the update sessions,

or if you’d like to attend again,

here are two more options to hear directly

from folks in the know!

▪ Sunday, December 3, 5:45 pm, Gathering Space

and/or

▪ Monday, December 4, 6:30 pm, Room 237

Once again, we’ll show detailed architectural drawings and

explain what renovations could look like if we proceed.

AND we’ll repeat that NO decisions have yet been made.

Advent to share your love and concern for others. Help un-

decorate the Giving Tree once again! Take an ornament and


purchase the gift indicated. Whether large or small, each gift

shares the message of true Christmas given from the heart.

Knitwear collection for homeless children:

Trinity is collecting knit hats, gloves, mittens,

and scarves for elementary school-aged

homeless children in the Harrisburg School

District. These items are distributed to the

children at a Christmas party which is

sponsored by local businesses. Trinity has

supported this effort for many years through

your generous contributions. A collection box for purchased

or handmade knitwear will be in the Gathering Space until

November 26. Items donated beyond the needs of the

Christmas party will be distributed to other local children.

ELCA Good Gifts: What do you give to the person who has

everything? How about a gift that makes a difference in

people’s lives around the world! You could gift a cow, a

goat, a pig, honey bees, school supplies, mosquito nets…the

list is endless. Stop by the ELCA Good Gift Table on Dec. 3, 10,

or 17 to get more information. Truly a Christmas Gift!

Reach out to our hospitalized and at-home members. See the

list in the Narthex and the Gathering Space tract rack. Your

prayers and contacts bring peace and comfort.


Baptisms: Westley Roth, son of Kurt and Natalie (Barner) Roth,
