Three families fighting three very different battles. And one church coming to their aid. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church on Rock Street in Hughestown will hold a spaghetti dinner to help the Zimmerman, the Homschek and the Grogan families. The Zimmerman family, of Moosic, lost its patriarch, Brian, in a lightning storm at the Pocono Raceway in June. The Homschek family’s son, Keith, of Hanover Township, was hurt in a motorcycle crash on his way to a benefit for a sick relative.
