SERVICE PROJECT
February 1, 8, and 15, 2015
Luther as Editor
and Illustrator
Presented by The Rev. Karl Krueger,
Ph.D.-Library Director & Professor of
the History of Christianity
This three week series examines the
German Bibles that Martin Luther worked
on in 1534 and 1541. It presents Luther
as an editor and illustrator who worked
closely with the printers in Wittenberg so
that text and image would showcase
evangelical theology. The sessions feature
PowerPoint presentations that let us see
and experience the novelty of Luther's
integrative approach. Come, see, and be
enriched.

Mlk service project
Help Sort/Organize Household Items
Donated for Refugee Families
Monday, Jan. 19, 9 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
Help refugees who are resettling in the
Philadelphia area. Over the past year,
many churches have donated household items for refugees, but the storage
space needs to be organized and the
household items need to be sorted.
Please consider helping out.
We will be meeting at St. Marks Lutheran Church, 508 Harry Street, Conshohocken. We will be working from 9noon. Break for a pizza lunch with a
short information session about refugee resettlement work and how people
can help. Then if people want to continue to work, they are welcome to stay.
Contact Jane Jorgensen at
215-470-8005, for more information.
The new refugee family living in Souderton
(a single mother and six young kids - four to be in
school soon) needs help getting to the grocery
store on a weekly basis. The mother doesn't
speak any English but is now fairly familiar with
American grocery stores and how to buy the food
with her food stamp card. One person could
handle this task when the four oldest start school
but it probably works best for two people to work
together.
Household Item Collections
Lutheran Children and Family Service resettles
many refugee families each year to the Philadelphia area. Refugees often arrive here with very
little - their belongings fitting into one small bag.
For refugees to begin a new life in the USA, they
need many things. One way we can help them is
by providing a furnished place they can call
home. Below is a list of some of the additional
items that are still needed.
Can openers – manual is best
Cookware (pots, pans, saucepans)
Kitchen trash bins and bags
Dust pans
Dish soap
Sponges
Brooms
Mops
Mini trash bins and bags
Laundry detergent
Bathroom cleaner
Pillows (new)
Digital alarm clocks
Toilet paper
Bars of soap
Queen or twin bed sheets
Contact Jane Jorgensen at 215-470-8005,

be for the future.
A Thank You letter was received by the
church along with a check for $2,000.00 from
the Vuong family, who escaped from Vietnam
and arrived in the US in September of
1979. They were welcomed and supported by
families at Trinity until they could support
themselves. Several members who were involved in that support are still members today.

As a means of recognizing the witness of exemplary Christians throughout church history,
Evangelical Lutheran Worship includes many commemorations which may be observed in corporate
worship as well as in personal devotions.
Sunday, January 18-Confession of Peter
Today the church remembers the apostle Peter's great acknowledgement of Jesus as "the
Christ, the Son of the living God." This festival serves as a fitting beginning to the week in which
we particularly pray that all Christians might be united in faith and witness.
Monday, January 19-Henry, Bishop of Uppsala, martyr, died 1156
When Erik, King of Sweden, determined to invade Finland for the purpose of converting the people there to Christianity, Henry went with him. Henry is recognized as the patron saint of Finland.
Wednesday, January 21-Agnes, martyr, died 304
Agnes was a girl of about thirteen living in Rome. The details of her martyrdom are not clear, but
she gave witness to her faith and was put to death as a result, most likely by the sword. The
church has honored her as one of the chief martyrs of her time.
Sunday, January 25-Conversion of Paul
The week of prayer begun by the remembrance of Peter's confession now comes to an end as
we recall the pivotal moment in the life of the other pillar of the early church, the apostle Paul. His
encounter with the risen Christ turned him from persecutor of the followers of Christ to one of
their leaders.
