PASTOR JOEL’S EMAIL HAS BEEN HACKED

My email has been hacked! I am sending this message to let you know this, in case you receive any suspicious emails or texts from me.

You will know it is a suspicious email or text in multiple ways:

1) It comes from some email address other than trinitylutheranpb@gmail.com.

2) It comes from a phone number you have never heard of being associated with me (either personal or office number).

3) It calls you by some name you don’t prefer. I try really hard to call people by their preferred names because you are important to me.

4) It is asking you for money or gift cards. I would not make a request like that unsolicited over email or text.

Please, do not respond to any suspicious messages or open any attachments that seem unsolicited. If you are uncertain of a message, you can call me directly. I will be glad to check it out with you.

If You Are In Need of Food 
The Center for Community Resources has boxes of food for emergencies. If you need food, please call CCR at 724-431-3748.

Another reality of these days is that the demands on the church finances are going to stay the same, or potentially increase but not decrease. There will be increased demands on the community meals, the food banks and people needing help for the basics of life. All of this is to be straightforward and say, if you can increase your giving please do so. 
We also need you to continue your regular giving and since we will not be meeting in person for you to put them in the offering plate, please use one of the following ways:

If you have not signed up for electronic giving which gives your gift even when you are not here, please go to our new website trinitylutheranbutler.com and sign up. 

You can also download the Give Plus+ app on your phone and donate. This is a free app.

Or of course you can mail in your offerings. 

We are going to need your continued and growing support to be neighbors to our brothers and sisters in need in these uncertain days. 
If you are in need of help because your work situation has changed, please let Pastor or Leigh Ann in the church office know.

Keep Us Updated

The church works very hard to communicate with members via Letter, Bulletin, Newsletter, Telephone and Email. It is important you keep us informed when your mailing-address, telephone-number(s) and/or Email-Address changes.
