Beginning October 30, 2022 through December 4, 2022, every time you make a $25.00 RaiseRight purchase on-line or in-person you will receive ONE raffle ticket towards winning over $300 worth of cards on the St. Peter’s Raise Right Christmas Wreath.
A drawing will be held on December 11, 2022 when the winner will be notified. You do not need to be in attendance on December 11, 2022 to win. The more RaiseRight $25.00 purchases you make the more chances you will have to win!!
So, yes, if you purchase $100.00 worth of cards you will receive 4 raffle tickets.
RaiseRight (formerly ShopWithScrip) has been in operation at St. Peter’s since 2007. So far, the RaiseRight program has contributed $37,500.00 to St. Peter’s. This includes $2,300.00 raised in 2021. When someone buys RaiseRight cards, they pay the face value of the card and they get the face value of the card. St. Peter’s receives a percentage of that face value from RaiseRight. The customer doesn’t need to do anything except purchase the cards. The “donation” part of the process is all done behind the scenes.
Gift card purchases through RaiseRight don’t have to be hundreds of dollars - $5 and $10 cards are available and all amounts help pay down the church mortgage. Download the RaiseRight app, sign up (our Enrollment Code is 7B43336F15851) and be part of something impactful for St. Peter’s. Or, visit Jane Stettler at the front door of the church before or after the service. You can also contact Jane using the button below and she will send you a sign-up email to walk you through the process.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 (NIV)
The Vine is a Relational Caring Ministry including the following:
1) We utilize the current Prayer List maintained by Celeste Chamberlain. Vine volunteers will contact those individuals on the prayer list (by phone call and/or e-mail) with the following goals in mind: A) To ensure them that they are not forgotten, B) To see how they are doing, C) To see if they need anything that St. Peter’s can assist with, and D) To see if they would like to remain on the Prayer List.
2) Eucharistic Ministry – We would like to visit folks who cannot attend church for any reason; and administer communion if it is desired. This is not limited to those on the Prayer List; but to anyone.
3) We would like to form Prayer Teams made up of anywhere from 1 to several people who will commit to pray for those individuals on the Prayer List (or anyone who needs it). These teams can meet at St. Peter’s, at someone’s home, or anywhere they are comfortable.
4) We are currently looking for new volunteers to help out with all three areas, but our most immediate need is for Vine Volunteers who love to be in contact with others and would be willing to call people who are on the Prayer List.
5) For more information please contact Silvia Rotenbury.
A family friend of our own Sam Tarasenko is in need. In Sam’s own words, “I have begun running a campaign for a friend of our family who came from Ukraine in search of treatment for her son Matthew, who has Crigler-Najjer syndrome. He is only twelve years old. I'm including the link to the GoFundMe that his mother Nina and I put together. In the coming months, I plan to do benefit events for this cause. Please spread the word. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.” You can learn more about Matthew’s story and needs below and you can reach the GoFundMe link RIGHT HERE.
I am a mother of one wonderful and truly special boy. This year, my son turned 12 years old. By this age, Matthew already been through so many difficulties that others do not even begin to encounter during their entire life span. When Matthew was only three months old, he was diagnosed with a genetic disorder named Crigler-Najjar Syndrome, which is a rare inherited disorder affecting the metabolism of bilirubin (a chemical formed from a breakdown of the heme in red blood cells). This is an extremely rare disease estimated 0.6-1.0 per million life births. Therefore, throughout his life, the child has been living on life-essential therapy, sleeping under special lights that help to manage the metabolism of bilirubin and keep the levels of the toxic substance down.
Aside from the obvious life-threatening conditions, Matthew has been through a lot of emotional turmoil because of his unusually yellow skin color, which is one of the symptoms of the disease. His yellow skin color has often attracted negative comments and bullying, even when he was a toddler and a very young boy. In spite of all the negativity of the world going his way, he has been growing up as a very social, joyful, kind, caring, and life loving child.
One night, when Matthew was 7 years old, he was sitting on a floor playing with his favorite Lego puzzles. He just got over a very short cold. He tried to get up. He couldn’t. Next morning he stopped moving and talking completely. At the moment we were still in Ukraine. The doctors couldn’t help us and couldn’t explain his sudden loss of movement and speech. In about 2-3 months his health rapidly deteriorated. This time, after hemosorption (a special blood cleansing process) that was conducted in a hospital, his condition took a turn for the worse. To put it simply, he was dying in front of our eyes.
That’s when one of my close friends found a unique clinic in Strasbourg, Pennsylvania, USA, where they treated children with various genetic disorders. With financial help and invitation from the church in Lancaster, PA, we were able to become patients at “Clinic for Special Children”. I will always be grateful for this unique opportunity.
Now, it’s been four years, and because of variety of reasons as well as some unforeseen complications of the genetic research itself, Matthew's genetic treatment has been postponed. It seems that the most vital goal for the time being, is the rehabilitation of some basic neurological functions.
Fortunately, we found a place - Hope Brain & Body Recovery Center that is willing to work with us. We are asking for funding to take an advantage of their complex program. (The center is private and is not covered by our insurance or Medicaid. However, it is one of the few centers that has the constituents of the therapy that Matthew needs)
We are going to need to attend this center for 6 month if this therapy works for him. The estimate for a month of treatment is about $3520, plus initial analysis and tests are approximately $1500.
I am asking for the funds for 6 months of treatment, which is $22,620 total.
We would be extremely grateful for any contributions that you may be able to provide us with.
I am sure that with your help we can finally see the results, and, hopefully, change one child’s future. Matthew deserves to have a chance and deserves to have a better life.
Thank you for your attention,
Sincerely,
Nina
