Lancaster Lions’ roar of service
felt throughout city
BY JEFF FALK
Service clubs can be like social clubs.
Service clubs promote camaraderie and fellowship and create colleagues and collaborators. Throw in a little time, and those relationships can develop into friendships.
Lancaster Lions Club (LLC) is one of the oldest organized service clubs in Lancaster County.
“Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion.”
“We have a lot of members who have been there a very long time,” said Bill Crabtree, a 40-year Lion who’s currently in his second term as LLC’s president. “So we’ve gotten to know each other over the years. Not everybody has the passion for the same thing. As a group, we come together, and as a service club, we accomplish something. There’s a camaraderie that comes with doing things with people with similar interests.”
An active and vibrant volunteer organization, LLC meets at noon on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month at the Neptune Diner, 924 N. Prince St., Lancaster. Overseen by a board of directors, LLC seeks to
provide services where they are needed most, and it sometimes partners with other nonprofits to promote the greater good.
“Our purpose is to serve the Lancaster city community with volunteerism and funding, where possible,” said Crabtree. “We seek
out opportunities to serve. We try to emphasize activities in the city of Lancaster. Lions Clubs tend to take care of their own

This is a tale of making homes festive around the holidays. This is a tale of friendship. This is a tale of hope at Christmas. This is the story of Cookies and Greens Benefit Sale, a community initiative to help a woman’s missionary work in other countries.
“This is God’s work,” said Barb Dagen, the coordinator of the fundraiser. “We’re to be the hands of Jesus. This sale and the funds raised will benefit those who have little. We’re sharing an abundance because we have so much.”
The fourth annual Cookies and Greens Benefit Sale will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, at Dagen’s rustic barn, 80 Hellers Church Road, Leola. The event is free to attend, and all proceeds will go toward Dagen’s friend Tabitha Shilalo’s LuoPad project, which provides feminine products to women and girls in places like Kenya, Uganda, Colombia, Cuba and Tanzania through the international nonprofit Unto, which is based in Mount Joy.
“Everybody’s happy,” said Dagen of the benefit sale’s

Church posts silent auction and dinner
Ridgeview Mennonite Church, 3723 Ridge Road, Gordonville, will hold a silent auction event on Wednesday, Dec. 4, in the fellowship hall in the lower level of the church. Doors will open for bidding at 4 p.m., and bidding will end at 6 p.m.
The auction will include about 150 items, many of which were donated by businesses in the community. Items will include gift cards to restaurants, gardens, and amusement parks. Dollars raised will support the food pack program that provides weekend food for some Pequea Valley students and the 55 Alive programs for senior citizens from the congregation and broader community. If income exceeds the budget for these two programs, the excess proceeds will be used to support Jacqueline Hoover, a member of the congregation currently serving with Mennonite Mission Network in the United Kingdom.
At 6 p.m., the church will offer a community meal by donation. During the meal, attendees will hear brief accounts of Christmases celebrated around the world. The speakers will be Leonie and Sam Walters, sharing about Jamaica; Hoover, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Egypt; Dave Smucker from Alliance Network, in a Lancaster County Amish home; Omar Lapp, Greece; Loretta Lapp, Lancaster in bygone days; and Evie Hershey, Kenya. Hoover’s portion will be presented via Zoom.
Winning bids will be announced at 7:15 p.m. For questions or more information contact katelyn@ ridgeviewmennonite.net or call 717-768-3143.

decorate their homes, and they come and buy it loose,” said Dagen. “It is a concentrated group effort. There are a core group of women who are involved, and we have friends, and we reach out, and they donate too. There are a lot of people helping. It’s a wide-reaching event.”
Although Cookies and Greens Benefit Sale is not directly affiliated with any one church, members of different local churches come together to bake cookies for the sale. The homemade cookies will be made available to benefit Shilalo’s mission.
Also offered at the sale will be chocolate-covered pretzels, fresh greens, winterberry, winter arrangements, green wreaths, centerpieces, dried flower wreaths and nearly 30 themed gift baskets.
“We cut fresh greens for people to
A few hundred people are expected to attend the Cookies and Greens Benefit Sale. Last year, the event raised over $4,000 for Shilalo’s mission project.
“To me, this event is a picture of the body of Christ coming together to fulfill the Great Commission,” said Shilalo.
“We look at it like whatever we earn we will be good with,” said Dagen. “The money will be deposited directly into Tabitha’s account at Unto. It’s a nonprofit gift. (The missionaries) have to raise support to work. (Tabitha) really feels called to this ministry.”
“(Feminine hygiene products are) a huge need in other countries,” continued Dagen. “This is an essential item, and it affects women’s lives in so many ways. She will give out the pads and pray with (the women). So many of these women cry with her. She knows what it’s like not to have these supplies. Her heart is for serving these women. It’s sharing Christ.”
It’s been nearly 10 years now since Dagen met Shilalo while the former was working at the Upper Leacock Township municipal offices and Shilalo came to the office as a customer to deal with a payment.
“We started talking,” Dagen said. “That’s how I got to know her. One day she came in and asked if I’d help her raise funds. I was like, ‘Oh my, I’m not good at that.’ I prayed about it, and I said, ‘Yes.’ We’re supporting her financially and spiritually. It’s a huge impact for Tabitha personally.”

Exploring the world of pincushions
Mennonite Life, 2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster, will host an event focusing on Amish and Mennonite pincushions on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m. at its Collections Feature program. Mennonite Life curator Emily Immel will share research and insight into the significance of the collection.

For generations, Amish and Mennonite women have used needlework as an outlet for artistic expression and a way to channel creativity into the domestic sphere. The pincushions in the Mennonite Life collection are colorful, detailed, elaborately patterned works of art. The Collections Feature will explore the rich history and cultural significance of the craft.
Mennonite Life members receive complimentary admission. Those interested in general admission may reserve a ticket at www.mennon itelife.org/events.
Mennonite Life’s vision is diverse communities connecting across boundaries by knowing and valuing their own and each other’s stories of life, faith, cultures and histories.

Hometown holiday
BY ANN MEAD ASH
According to John Styer, organizer of Christmas in the Park, a Terre Hill Days celebration, this year’s event will include the Christmas Light Trail, which will feature more than 100,000 lights, 25 new light displays, and two new scenes. “Those scenes will be a vintage Christmas (theme) and an enchanted forest (theme),” said Styer. He added that the interactive walkthrough Nativity display will be back as well.
Styer and company - up to 20 volunteers - began setting up the Christmas Light Trail in the middle of October. He said it will take 100 volunteers to stage the event, which will be held in the Terre Hill Park, 210 Lancaster Ave., Terre Hill, Fridays through Sundays, Dec. 6 through 8 and 13 through 15, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. each evening. The event is free to attend, but tickets are required to visit the Light Trail or take a horse-drawn carriage ride. Tickets to those activities
may be purchased at the event with cash or a credit card or online at www.terrehilldays.com on the “Christmas in the Park” page. There is no charge for children age 3 and under to participate.
Entertainment, which was a highlight of the 2023 event, will be available in two locations for the entirety of the celebration. Live musical groups will include the New Holland Brass Band, Holiday Horns, Nick DiSanto - the one-man band, Elvis impersonator Jeff Krick Jr., and the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble. Jazz fans may enjoy the Bailey Fulginiti Quartet, and bluegrass fans will have the chance to
hear the sounds of Ironwood Drive Band. Groups of strolling carolers, including carolers from Cavod, will sing each night.
“More than a dozen local holiday craft vendors will offer a variety of holiday-themed gifts,” said Styer, who noted that the Terre Hill Area Historical Society will be on-site with a train display. “The Choo Choo Barn will bring their mobile holiday- themed toy train display, and they will have a Wurlitzer Band Organ at the parking area,” Styer pointed out, adding that the festive mini golf will be back, as will live ice carving. “Our new carver will (create a) Santa and a fireplace,
INDOOR FLEA MARKET
among other holiday-themed creations,” said Styer, who added that White Oak Ice Company will provide the ice for carving.
The Terre Hill Days food pavilion will be open for the event, and a number of other vendors will be available. “We have expanded our food vendor offerings,” said Styer, who noted that in addition to the returning Castanedas Mexican, vendors offering soft pretzels, french fries, mini doughnuts, pulled pork nachos, kettle corn, and funnel cakes will be present. New vendors will include Farmhouse Stickies and Noel’s Cafe. “We have a fun specialty hot chocolate stand with seasonal flavors,” said Styer, noting this stand will be located in the lower pavilion.
A children’s activity tent, called Santa’s Workshop, will be filled with representatives from local nonprofit organizations. “We will have many craft activities, and they will all be free,” said Styer. “That’s where Santa will be.” Styer pointed out that Bethany Grace Fellowship will set up a photo corner with an instant camera, and that Terre Hill Boy Scout Troop 172 will be there with their button press. “Lots of local organizations are involved by providing a craft table, having a stand, or staffing the live Nativity,” shared Styer.
As in the past, Styer said he is grateful for the sponsorship of area businesses. “We had tremendous support from our local community to be able to continue the event,” Styer said of the fundraiser. “The business sponsorships offset the costs of operating it.”
One important change from the 2023 event will be the location of the remote parking. “We will be down at the Weaverland Produce Auction at 1030 Precast Road,” said Styer. “They have a massive parking lot, and we will be able to park everybody there with shuttle service to the park.”There is a nominal charge for parking. Handicapped-accessible parking will be available at the Terre Hill Community Center, and visitors may drop off and pick up their parties at the park. More information about the event may be found at the aforementioned website.
Rewarding work
BY ANN MEAD ASH
The leadership team of The Potter’s House is looking forward to the future. Many of the staff members are new this year, but director of discipleship Rob Weatherholtz has been involved with the organization since 2005, and in 2013, founder Lloyd Hoover asked Weatherholtz to join the organization’s board.
“It was an undertaking to bring this to fruition,” said Weatherholtz of the growth of the organization, which now includes the Still Waters Recovery Center and The Potter’s House of Ruth. “Now that we are there, I believe we have started something that will impact people long after I am gone.”
New leadership at The Potter’s House this year includes Robert Schoonover, executive director; Jeannette Scott, director of the House of Ruth; Janelle Horst, assistant director at the House of Ruth; and Steve Steel,
director of students for The Potter’s House men’s ministry.
Until a year ago, Schoonover was running a successful business, but he was looking for something more. “It wasn’t fulfilling,” noted Schoonover, who sold the business and saw God begin to open doors at the ministry where he had been volunteering since 2005. “My heart was always for people in addiction and coming out of prison,” recalled Schoonover.
“I learned what Potter’s House did, and I had a lot of respect for it.” After mentoring students, teaching classes, and helping students obtain jobs, Schoonover was ready to do more.
He was approached by Hoover about the director’s position and began a lengthy interview process, which culminated in his being offered the job in early July.
Schoonover said his credentials include his heart for the Lord and an aptitude for running a business.
“For such a time as this, here I am,”
Church sets holiday brass concert
Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 750 Greenfield Road, Lancaster, will host a concert by QuintEssentially Brass on Sunday, Dec. 1, as part of the church’s Fine Arts Series. The program will begin at 4 p.m. The concert will feature traditional brass music for Advent and Christmas, as well as seasonal readings.
Founded in 2009, QuintEssentially Brass is devoted to surprising and delighting audiences by presenting the best in the brass quintet repertoire. The group’s members are Doug Albert and Gene Clark on trumpet, Kristen
Albert on horn, Andy Walls on trombone, and Geoff Davis on tuba.
Admission is free. A freewill offering will be received. Light refreshments will be served after the program.
The Fine Arts Series attracts performers and concertgoers from throughout the region. The series is made possible by Clark Associates Charitable Foundation, High Foundation, and donations by music lovers throughout the region. To learn more, visit www .goodshepherdlancaster.org/ finearts.
he stated, adding, “I look forward to facilitating a structure that will perpetuate this in the future and set us up for success and sustain the ministry as a whole and expand it.”
Schoonover pointed out that The Potter’s House focuses on producing a quality, mature individual. “I think the mechanisms that get us there are the faith-based approach, the power of God, and the healing that focuses on the trauma and the real issues beneath the addiction,” he said.
Scott comes to The Potter’s House with a strong background in nonprofit work, including ministry at places such as Water Street Mission. She has experience in executive leadership and business, and she recently served on staff at Lighthouse Assembly of God in New Holland. “God was leading me to move to something full time,” recalled Scott. “I had been praying for a long time, ‘Lord, how do you want to use the things you have developed in me?’” At the beginning of July, she heard about the opening at The House of Ruth and decided to apply. “This ministry is hard work, but it’s so rewarding,” said Scott. “There is such good fruit in transformed lives.”
The House of Ruth opened about four years ago, and Scott looks forward to seeing growth in the program. “I feel honored and blessed to be a part of this,” she said. “I believe God wants to do something special here (by) changing women’s lives.”
Horst became the part-time assistant director at The House of Ruth in early July after she and her family spent many years as missionaries to children in Honduras in association with Eastern Mennonite Missions. “We walked alongside a lot of young adults who came out of abuse,” recalled Horst, who is in her final year of a training program called STEP. Because Horst was only willing to work part-time, she did not think the position with The House of Ruth would be right for her, but she put the decision in God’s hands. “I trust the Spirit of God within me, and I know He’s leading me,” said Horst, who mentors several women outside her job. “I love walking with people,” said Horst. “God has equipped me to pastor people, walk with them, and
shepherd them.”
Steel first became involved with The Potter’s House program in late 2021. Afterward, he worked for a local manufacturer, while studying to reach educational goals, which included earning his recovery specialist and criminal justice certifications from the state. He then went to work full time for a Lancaster County rehabilitation organization while also working as a part- time house manager for The Potter’s House. In October of 2023, he was offered a position assisting the director of the men’s program at The Potter’s House. In July, he became director of students. Steel holds a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies from Lancaster Bible College, and he plans to start seminary in the spring of 2025. “I love serving God, and I love ministry,” said Steel. “However God sees fit to use me, I am willing.”
Weatherholtz once owned a roofing business, but for several years now, he has been involved in The Potter’s House, where he was instrumental in building the Still Waters Recovery Center; acted as on-site spiritual parent, along with his wife; and served as assistant program director until 2021, when he became director of discipleship. “It’s not about the titles; it’s about the passion,” shared Weatherholtz, the author of “A Raptured Heart” and “The Believer’s Warfare.” “I want to see people set free by knowing Jesus Christ,” he added. Weatherholtz recently received his associate addictions counselor certification. He serves as a pastor at Breakout Ministries and as a volunteer chaplain at Lancaster County Prison. Weatherholtz is excited to see that “trauma-healing ministry has been incorporated into the DNA of the ministry.” “I realized we were putting a bandage on something that needed spiritual surgery,” he said. “If you don’t cultivate the mind and the heart of the individual by getting all the rocks and weeds out, it’s not going to bear good fruit.”
The Potter’s House has locations in Leola and New Holland.

communities. The city of Lancaster has a lot of need.”
The services that LLC provides are as diverse and varied as the interests of its membership. LLC has been and continues to be involved with collecting eyeglasses, holding fundraisers, serving as Salvation Army bell ringers, cleaning up local trails, collecting and distributing
socks, serving meals and assisting at events conducted by other service groups.
In October, LLC and its sponsored Lancaster-Lebanon Disaster Relief Lions Club raised more than $50,000 and collected nonperishable items for the victims of hurricanes Helene and Milton through the cooperation of other Lions Clubs in the state.
“When you’re volunteering and making a difference in other people’s lives and seeing them smile, and they say, ‘Thank you,’ there’s just nothing like it,” said Crabtree. “They’re good people; they’re just down on their luck. It’s all about them, but sometimes we’re getting more out of it than they do. We all come together, and we try to make a difference.”
LLC is made up of 34 volunteers, men and women, ages 30 to 99. Some are retired and some are still working, but the one thing they have in common is huge hearts for giving back.
“It started out as a city club with businesspeople, but now we don’t have anyone who lives in the city,” said Crabtree. “Most of us live on the outskirts. It’s a broad swath of
life. They just have a mission to serve. We have a very dedicated group. I have a very supportive group behind me.”
Established in 1922, LLC is the oldest of the 41 Lions Clubs that serve the Lancaster-Lebanon district. Those 41 clubs are supported by more than 1,100 members.
With a total of 1.4 million members across 49,000 clubs in 200 countries, Lions Club International is one of the largest civic clubs in the world.
“There’s a lot of men and women out there doing good work,” said Crabtree. “Lions tend to be in every community, so Lions are always there. Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion.”
“We’re trying to provide opportunities for people to get involved,” continued Crabtree. “If people want to make a difference in the city, we have opportunities to explore. We invite people to see what we do.”
