June 26, 2026
Our Summer Enrichment Camp students wrapped up our Week of Kindness and Giving with a special trip to Giant!
Thanks to a $250 Thrivent Action Team Community Grant, secured by Jerusalem Lutheran Church member Annie Young, our students shopped for nonperishable food items to stock the Little Food Pantry located at the church's main entrance.
To make the day even more special, an anonymous donor generously gave an additional $100, allowing the students to purchase even more much-needed items!
This was a wonderful opportunity for our campers to learn about giving back, shopping within a budget, and helping neighbors in need.
A heartfelt thank you to Thrivent, Annie Young, and our generous donor for making this meaningful experience possible. We are so proud of our students, families, and church members for living out God's love through kindness and generosity. ❤️
Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to host our planned VBS this year. We will be back with True North in the summer of 2027! Keep following our Facebook page and check in on our website for more information.

God’s Work. Our Hands. 2025 Project: Jared Boxes
On Sunday, September 7th, many gathered after worship for fellowship and donuts. After the donuts and conversation dwindled, we set out to assemble “Jared Boxes”. A Jared Box is a shoebox sized plastic container that is filled with toys, and other small amusements for children in the hospital. We assembled 12 boxes and they were delivered to Lehigh Valley Hospital Schuylkill, E. Norwegian Street in Pottsville. The project was funded by Thrivent Financial. The congregation was also asked to donate “crazy socks” for use in the hospital pediatric ward for Bingo prizes or small gifts to kids staying in the hospital.
To hear the full story of the history of The Jared Box Project, Google “Jared Box” and read about a courageous and thoughtful boy who, while dealing with his own diagnosis, shared his toys with his hospital buddies. Jared’s legacy is well represented by his family and friends.
