Candy, costumes and camaraderie

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

“Ifyou love Halloween, costumes, community and fun, this is for you,” said Tony Gibble of LIV-Etown, who is helping to organize the Market Street Candy Crawl and Trunk-or-Treat Costume Party Extravaganza. “Come and be a part of it. There will be over 50 spots to collect candy, not including the trunks to visit.”

The event will be held in downtown Elizabethtown from 6 to 8 p .m. on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

Music on High will feature many genres

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

The Music on High series at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Elizabethtown offers a wide range of musical styles and gives the church the opportunity to invite the community in, said Kevin Gane, director of music and organist.

“We’re very blessed to have a beautiful space and a beautiful instrument here,” he said, referring to the church’s 1949 Moller organ. “We want to share that with our community. We wanted to open our space to people who maybe don’t come to church on Sunday.”

The series began last year after a congregant suggested an organ

Keeping the faith

First online fundraiser for Kingdom causes planned

BY ANN MEAD ASH

Since the fall of 2022, David Kieffer, president of the FaithfulGive board, has been preparing for the organization’s first online giving event to benefit organizations with a Christian mission that are active in Lancaster County. “We prayed and thought and designed and listened for a year,” said Kieffer of FaithfulGive’s five-member board and its organizational team. “Mostly we listened to what would serve various nonprofit leaders.”

The result is a three-day online

giving event, which will take place in October. More than 40 local organizations have signed on to take part in the fundraiser, which will open just after midnight on Sunday, Oct. 15, and close at the end of the day on Tuesday, Oct. 17.

To introduce the event, a breakfast will be held on Monday, Oct. 16, at Westminister Presbyterian Church, 2151 Oregon Pike, Lancaster, beginning at 7:30 a.m. In addition, a short celebration picnic will be held on Oct. 17 at 5 p.m. at Long’s Park. “There will be worship, celebration, and announcing

Museum to host fall programs and events

The Winters Heritage House Museum in Elizabethtown will host a variety of programs and workshops for both children and adults this fall.

For children, Story Hour will be held on Fridays, Oct. 13, Nov. 3 and Dec. 15, and then every second Friday through May 2024. Two sessions are offered: 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to noon.

A fee will be charged for the whole program or per session. Story Hour is

In addition, Miss Terry and the Heritage House Craft Team will lead a Kids Craft Club every Wednesday from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. through Dec. 6, with the exception of Nov. 22. This fall’s focus will be holiday decorations to adorn the historic log cabins. The program is children ages 5 to 13. There will be a fee charged for the entire program or per session.

For adults, workshop instructor Barbara Plunkett will guide participants on how to create a unique seasonal wreath. Creating a Thanksgiving Wreath will be featured on

Tuesday, Nov. 7, from 7 to 9 p.m., and a Holiday Wreath workshop will be presented on Tuesday, Nov. 28, from 7 to 9 p.m. A registration fee will be charged for each workshop.

abethtown. Two of the buildings included in the museum property date to the founding of the town.

All families experience their share of drama, but how often do we have a chance to see the inner workings of someone else’s family up close? That’s just what happens on stage in “August: Osage County.” The play will be performed at Susquehanna Stage, 133 W. Market St., Marietta, on select dates from Friday, Oct. 13, through Sunday, Oct. 22.

“The show is a window into a Midwestern American family,” explained Sarah Zahn, who plays Karen, the youngest of three sisters in the Weston family. “It explores what happens when tragedy hits. I think most of us can find something in it we recognize in our own families, and it can feel really cathartic in a way.”

She added that although the show has serious overtones, it also includes upbeat moments. “There’s a lot of love, a lot of humor and a lot of grief as well,” she explained. “It has it all.”

The Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony Award-winning play, written by Tracy Letts, takes place during the

month of August in a small town in Oklahoma. Scattered family members have come back together to deal with a difficult situation.

“I would say this is a dark comedy,” said Cara Ditzler, who portrays Ivy, the middle sister. “It’s very funny,

but at the same time, it’s like you’re watching a trainwreck almost.”

Andi Hill, who plays Barbara, the oldest sister, agreed, adding, “We recognize ourselves in it. We see things that would happen at our dinner table. Every emotion possible is

represented at some point in this show. It feels very real.”

Ditzler noted that although the

concert at the church’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration. The concert was so well received, Gane recalled, that he decided to develop a series.

Held at the church at 75 E. High St., the series is funded by a former pastor and his music director wife, Raymond and Theresa Fetter, who left a trust in their name. It allows Gane to offer seven concerts, all free of charge.

Music on High will kick off on Thursday, Oct. 12, with a performance by the Leesburg String Quartet beginning at 7 p.m. The concert will feature both classical and popular music.

On Sunday, Dec. 3, Advent lessons and carols will be highlighted at 4 p.m., with readings, hymns and choral music.

The series will continue on Sunday, Dec. 31, at 5:30 p.m., with a Christmas Carol Festival, featuring Gane and the Christ Lutheran organ.

On Friday, Jan. 12, 2024, organist Abbie Wood will perform at 7 p.m. She plays Baroque, romantic and contemporary period organ music.

The series will continue on Friday, March 29, 2024, at 7 p.m. with a Good Friday service, featuring an encore performance of Bob Chilcott’s St. John Passion from last year’s series. Jonathan Walker-VanKuren

LCSWMA encourages proper battery disposal

Rechargeable batteries containing metals such as lithium and nickel can spark and explode when damaged. To combat the growing risk of battery fires, the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority (LCSWMA) has announced the launch of a public education campaign to encourage proper disposal of rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries are in

many common household items, including power tools, toys, cellphones, laptops, watches, vape devices and electric toothbrushes. If the rechargeable battery becomes damaged, it can cause a chemical reaction that creates a spark or explosion. Rechargeable batteries in the waste stream are prone to damage due to the impact from equipment and machinery during the waste management process.

According to Robert Zorbaugh, chief executive officer of LCSWMA, the improper disposal of rechargeable batteries is putting trash haulers, waste disposal and recycling facilities, employees and the community at risk. Countless fires have started in the back of trash trucks and at waste disposal facilities.

Karen Gross, LCSWMA communications manager, would like the community to know that there are many free and convenient drop-off locations for end-of-life rechargeable batteries. In Lancaster County, residents can use LCSWMA’s drivethrough Household Hazardous Waste Facility to drop-off both alkaline and rechargeable batteries.

For more details and to learn about other collection locations, visit www.SafeBatteryDisposal.com. The webpage, available in English and Spanish, includes information regarding specialty batteries such as e-bike and electric vehicle batteries as well as battery handling tips.

More information about LCSWMA is available at www.lcswma.org.

will perform as the Evangelist.

Wrapping up the series, the Elizabethtown Area High School chamber choir will perform on Sunday, May 5, at 4 p.m. The choir features more than 20 students in grades nine through 12.

“The series is a mix of bringing back some of the classics from our first year and some new performances,” Gane said. “We have a lit-

tle bit of music for everybody. If you’re not specifically into classical music, we have lighter fare as well. You’ll find something you’re going to enjoy no matter what concert you go to.”

A freewill offering will be received at the concerts. For more information on the Music on High series, visit www.christlutheran -etown.com/music-on-high.

Clint Gibble of LIV-Etown noted that this is the third year for the event, which is growing annually.

“It came about as a desire by the LIV-Etown team to provide a fun, interactive experience for all in our downtown, reminiscent of the mall trick-or-treats we grew up with and as an alternative to the standard trick-or-treat,” he explained, noting that the event also serves as a giveback to the community for its support. “We basically wanted to throw a huge E-town Halloween party.”

Spots are available for people

who are interested in setting up a trunk, Clint said, adding, “This can be a business, organization or just anyone in the community that wants to be involved.” Event attendees of all ages are encouraged to come in costume. Market Street will be open during the event, so people are reminded to follow traffic safety signals, use assigned crosswalks and take small children by the hand.

For more information or to inquire about participating with a trunk, contact “Liv_Etown” on Facebook.

Burt is a licensed local minister in the Trebullett Methodist Church in Launceston, England. She is touring

the United States and speaking in various churches and to Bible study groups. At Cedar Hill, she will speak on Habakkuk 3:2 and will teach on fellowship with Jesus. For more information, call pastor Wayne Lawton at 717-361-8990.

Classes will be provided for children from infants through prekindergartners. Readers may contact Bonnie at 717-361-2613 or Veronica at 626-7603 for more information and a copy of this year’s schedule.

play is more than three hours long and is told in three acts, it moves quickly. “I was reading reviews of the Broadway production, and people kept saying, ‘It doesn’t feel that long.’ You’re not sitting there thinking, ‘When is this going to be over?’ You’re invested in the characters.”

Zahn noted that her character does not appear on stage until Act 2, but she finds it hard to concentrate on anything other than the play even from backstage.

“It’s so fascinating to see what’s happening on stage,” she said. “I can’t stop watching. I can’t keep my eyes off it.”

The matriarch of the family, Violet, is portrayed by Cynthia Charles, who emphasized that her character is a flawed one. “She’s contentious and troubled. You’ll come away from

this show feeling really great about your family,” she said, with a laugh.

The play is full of adult content, the cast noted, adding that topics include suicide and addiction. Despite some dark moments, however, it provides an opportunity for introspection, Ditzler said.

“I think there are some questions left at the end of the play, which feels intentional,” she remarked. “I think those are the best shows. The ending is uncertain, and then the whole ride home, you talk about, ‘What do you think happened?’”

“August: Osage County” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 13, 14, 20 and 21, as well as Thursday, Oct. 19, and at 2 p.m. on Sundays, Oct. 15 and 22. For more information, visit www.susquehannastage.com.

prizes,” explained Kieffer. There is no cost to attend either event, but donations will be welcomed. Those wishing to attend either event may register at www.faithfulgive.org.

Awards given at the picnic will include prizes that participating organizations will compete for from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day of the event. Prize categories are the Engaged Donor prize to benefit smaller organizations; the Show Me the Money prize for the largest unique donation; a prize package from Masterpiece Marketing, which will be awarded based on a written submission; and the Just Keep Swimming award, which will be awarded by the board based on nominations by donors who submit a paragraph about why an organization has demonstrated wisdom, love, and persistent courage in challenging circumstances. Nominations for the Just Keep Swimming award are open at https://faithfulgive.org/ prizes/.

Kieffer pointed out that the first day of the event will not be focused on giving, although the platform will be available. “It’s really a day of prayer,” he said, noting that prayer guides will be distributed to various churches that are helping FaithfulGive to spread the word. “(The guide) will enable people to learn about the organizations and pray for them,” Kieffer said.

Kieffer said that the decision to start FaithfulGive was motivated by the many Kingdom-minded organizations located in the county. “This is really a movement of people who live locally who recognize that Lancaster has a rich heritage of biblically faithful nonprofit organizations founded to reflect and live out biblical convictions in every area of life,” he said.

“This was started by those who want to celebrate those organizations, nurture their vision, and guard it for the next generation.”

Looking ahead, Kieffer noted that he would love to see the giving event raise $500,000 or more. “Our goal is to bless this community,” he said. “This is really a labor of love,” he noted, adding that neither he nor the other board members - who include vice president Lynette Morales, secretary Jim Adams, treasurer Steve Bucklen, and member at large Kurt Weaver - are salaried.
