Saint John's Lutheran Church 3101 Tyson Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19149

"I love the Church. Inside of the church is not like any church I've seen. I love it because it's a comfortable setting. The pastor is amazing. She's very down to earth. You see and hear that she is a pastor. What i love is that you see and feel that she's one of us. Churches have a pastor, a priest, Rabbi etc. It stops there. Not this church. The food bank they provide is a blessing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are so many people that go there. Since the 4 years that I've been gone there it had to of doubledm"

"My home away from home St John's there is everything from a food bank Mass on the weekends and if you just need someone to talk to as for pastor Trish"

"UPDATE: I WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. MY SON WAS CLAIMED ON A FRAUDULENT TAX RETURN. Went there when we needed help after my husband was out of work fot 3 months. They asked for social security cards and birth certificates for every family member as well as driver's license for my husband and I. We were rushed through the sign-up process and into the pantry and out the door. I ran back to get our paperwork. My husband's birth certificate and social security are now missing. I tried contacting them several times. They finally got back to me and said they couldn't find them, sorry. So I'm looking forward to some good old fashion tax and credit fraud this year for Christmas. The food pantry in a family member's neighborhood only asks for driver's license. Interesting, right?"

"A very welcoming congregation that also serves the community with a school and the Feast of Justice food bank. Pastor Patricia Oneal is one of those persons who restores one's experience of just how good religion can be."
