The Episcopal Church of the Mediator

Thank You Notes

There are many missions that Mediator has undertaken. This page is a place for those to express their gratitude for what Mediator has done for them in their spiritual, ministry and worship lives. It also offers a place for Mediator to thank those who have helped us complete our ministry in and for the community. Thank you notes received are usually hung on the bulletin board outside the library.


The Giving Tree

Sincere “thank you’s” and “warm fuzzies” to all who contributed to the 2011 Giving Tree!  There were more than 200 items distributed in recent weeks to  clients of the overnight sheltering program at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Allentown; to clients of Homeless Supportive Services at the Lehigh County Conference of Churches; and to patients of the Lehigh Valley Health Network Pediatric Dental Clinic at 17th and Chew Streets in Allentown (formerly the site of Allentown Hospital).

Heartfelt appreciation to all who contributed hats, gloves, mittens, socks, blankets, and SCARVES! to The Giving Tree in recent weeks.  A special note of appreciation to Elaine Nolfa, who knitted dozens upon dozens of scarves for those in our community who spend all too many hours walking the streets of our city looking for employment, for a warm meal, or for a warm, dry, safe place to lay their heads.

Although we will never know just who receives what from our Giving Tree, know that those whose faces I do see when delivering your gifts are radiant with gratitude for a new scarf or a warm, matching pair of mittens or gloves!  And the youth who arrived at our church late one evening, having been thrown out of his home with nothing but a t-shirt protecting him from the cold, was wrapped in one of the many blankets placed under the tree.   

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CARING GENEROSITY.

Carol C., ECW Convenor


Dear Friends,

On behalf of Lehigh Valley Health Network, located at the 17th street campus, I would like to thank you for the warm, colorful and much needed gloves, hats and scarves. 

We shared this great gift with our Outpatient Pediatric Clinic. The children were happy to receive the gift of warmth. Your kindness and generosity is very much appreciated. 

Warmest Regards, 

Lynn Schaefer, Coordinator Volunteer Services


We thank all of you for your love and prayers through this time, with our loss of Bob. God’s blessings to all of you.
