Good morning from all of your friends here at Raymertown Lutheran Church!
We’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who helped us fill our “Wagon of Goodwill” several times with snacks for Pittstown families as they headed back to school last month. Your support continues to make a huge difference for so many families in our area, and we can’t thank the Pittstown Area Food Pantry enough for their wonderful work and dedication to helping so many in our community.
As we look ahead to the upcoming holiday season and family gatherings, we’re excited to announce that our “Wagon of Goodwill” food pantry item for October will be stuffing!
Please help us fill the wagon by bringing a food pantry item with you on Sundays to one of our 10:15 AM worship services throughout October. You can also message us here on Facebook, and we’ll be happy to arrange a pickup for any non-perishable food items you’d like to donate. Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference.

We hope to see you this Sunday at 10:15 AM for Worship!
All are welcome!

Good afternoon from all of your friends here at Raymertown Lutheran Church.
On Friday, September 18th, we had the privilege of celebrating the life of a beautiful young lady, Charlotte M. Wilson, who was called home to our Heavenly Father at the young age of just 16.
We quickly learned, through her family, her friends, and the amazing outpouring of love and support, just how very special Charlotte was to everyone who knew her.
Through the many stories shared, we learned that Charlotte loved her family, her friends, her school, the color purple, music, Christmas, and especially her stuffed animals.
One story about Charlotte’s love for her stuffed animals—and how she would place them beneath the Christmas tree in her room—sparked an idea within her family. They saw the joy those stuffed animals brought to Charlotte and wanted other children to experience that same joy, a gift that Charlotte’s family was blessed to share with her throughout her 16 wonderful years.
As we listened to Charlotte’s family speak about the love they shared with her, the love she carried in her heart, and how important it was to them that her love continue to be passed on to others, they came up with a beautiful way to celebrate her life.
Charlotte’s family asked that those attending her service bring a stuffed animal in her memory, which would then be donated to Toys for Tots for the upcoming holiday season.
What a beautiful way to honor Charlotte’s memory to take something she loved so dearly and share that love and joy with children who may need it most.
Charlotte, her family, and all those who will be blessed with one of these stuffed animals in her memory will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
May Charlotte’s love, kindness, and beautiful spirit continue to touch the lives of others, just as she touched the lives of everyone who was blessed to know her.

Good evening from all of your friends here at Raymertown Lutheran Church!

As we welcome the month of September and celebrate the return of students to school, we will continue to focus on and support the Pittstown Area Food Pantry and the important role it plays in helping families throughout our community.

The Pittstown Area Food Pantry has seen a steady increase in the number of families it serves. With the school year beginning, we are asking our church family and community friends to help us fill our “Wagon of Goodwill” with snacks this month.

A simple snack can make a meaningful difference for a child and a family in need. We are grateful for everyone who continues to support this important ministry, and we look forward to doing our part for some of the most precious members of our community.

Please join us each Sunday at 10:15 AM for weekly worship, and if you are able, bring a snack to place in our “Wagon of Goodwill.”

Together, we can help make sure our community’s children have a little something extra to enjoy as they head back to school.

Thank you for your continued generosity and support!
