Programs will offer mental health resources for teens and adults
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
The Living Grace small group program for adults will return to Millersville Community Church, 163 W. Frederick St., Millersville, on Thursday, Aug. 29. The church will also host the first Redefine Grace, a new program that offers similar activities to Living Grace for teenagers and young adults, on Tuesday, Aug. 27.
Both programs will involve regular meetings over a 10-week period: participants in Living Grace will gather at the church every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., and Redefine Grace will take place from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday. During meetings, group members will discuss topics relating to mental health such as stress, anxiety and depression, and sessions will incorporate Christian themes and references to Scripture.
Living Grace was started by Kelly Dennis, a member of Millersville Community Church’s congregation and a mental health professional. Dennis structured the program around a workbook provided by nonprofit organization the Grace Alliance, which offers various materials for small groups to learn about mental health challenges through a faith-based lens. In addition to Scripture, the workbook weaves in scientific research on mental illnesses and exercises for group members to complete between meetings.
Dennis said she felt called to start Living Grace after seeing
various mental health issues affect the community as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This is the fifth Living Grace session Dennis has hosted at Millersville Community Church, and the program has continued to grow in popularity with each session. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Dennis said she and many of her fellow counselors have noticed issues such as anxiety and depression occurring at a higher rate than normal among teenagers and young adults, prompting Dennis to organize the first Redefine Grace program this year. “I’ve been talking with other social workers and teachers, and we’re seeing that those age groups are struggling and feeling
very alone,” Dennis said. “Things haven’t gotten back on track yet, and there are significant levels of anxiety and depression that are left over.”
Although similar to Living Grace’s workbook, the materials incorporated in Redefine Grace will explore topics that are more relevant to younger generations, such as how to navigate social media in a healthy way. Each chapter will detail specific methods of coping with stress and strategies to manage conflict, which participants will be encouraged to practice at home outside of sessions.

Mountville-based mixed-media artist James Hecker will display his works in an exhibit titled “A Decade Plus of Texture” at Mulberry Art Studios, 21 N. Mulberry St., Lancaster, in September. The exhibit will launch with an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6, and will remain at the studio until Monday, Sept. 30.
“A Decade Plus of Texture” will showcase a collection of abstract pieces Hecker has created over
the last 10 years. Each piece incorporates a heavy emphasis on texture, which Hecker explores through his work using plaster, oil paint and acrylic paint. “It will probably look like 10 different artists have work in that space because I get bored,” Hecker said. “I like to try different styles, and I’m always trying something new.”
Hecker grew up in Mount Joy, and he discovered his passion for making art during a stay at Hershey Medical Center when he was 5 years old. Due to a rare

North Star Initiative (NSI) is doubling down on its mission. The local nonprofit is adding to its resources and increasing its reach in the fight against human trafficking.
“I’ve had a desire for collaboration,” said Melinda Clark, NSI’s executive director. “There’s too much work that needs to be done, and you can’t do it alone. We want to bring together skilled and passionate people. There’s so much chance of burnout from doing this restoration work. We
Recently, NSI absorbed Freedom and Restoration for Everyone Enslaved (F.R.E.E.), a Berks County-based nonprofit with similar goals, methods and beliefs, into its operations. It’s a move that will allow NSI to impact more survivors and achieve an even greater good.
James Hecker used experimental techniques to explore different textures and try new styles for his work in “A Decade Plus of Texture.”

heart condition, Hecker spent long periods of time at the hospital to prepare for surgery, and he often could not leave his bed. Hecker’s mother brought art supplies to his room to help pass the time, and Hecker said he started drawing up a storm.
Hecker continued to make art as he grew older, teaching himself new techniques along the way. Eventually, Hecker pursued a career in commercial art and attended art school. Although he was unable to remain in art school, Hecker said he never stopped creating, even
when he found himself working a job in the construction field. Hecker once again decided to seek a career that incorporated his love of art after a near-death experience that occurred on a construction site.
“It woke me up,” Hecker said. “I almost died doing something that is secondary to a passion of mine.”
After leaving the construction world, Hecker started his own business to paint murals and faux finishes. While completing a job to paint the columns of a home to resemble marble, Hecker said he noticed another contractor who was applying texture to the walls. Hecker began exploring texture with his art, and he has continued to try new techniques and hone his methods of applying texture to his personal artwork as well as his business projects.
Since starting his business 20 years ago, Hecker has been hired for projects throughout Lancaster County to use his textural techniques on historic buildings after they have been restored and businesses that have undergone repairs. Many of the projects involved replacing a damaged part of the structure with something more modern and durable, which Hecker then transformed by hand-painting believable textures to resemble wood. Hecker continues to sell paintings in addition to offering faux finishing and decorative services through his business.
“My style is always changing, and I’m always learning,” Hecker said. “I think the best approach is to be humble, because there’s always something new to explore.”

are stronger together and more effective.”
“This shows that it’s possible for organizations to collaborate to make a difference in the movement,” added Clark. “This is not necessarily common in the nonprofit world. The movement is changing, and it’s a privilege to be on the front lines.”
After about a year of negotiations and red tape, NSI officially absorbed F.R.E.E. on July 1. In the summer of 2023, officials of F.R.E.E. approached NSI about a possible merger, and around the beginning of this year a formal agreement was reached.
“In terms of operations, it’s a merger. The legal term is acquisition,” said Clark. “I’m excited because this means we’re going to be serving more survivors more quickly. It makes the whole organization stronger. This work is complex and complicated. Any resources we have at our disposal are meant for the good of the movement. We want to make the entire movement more effective.”
NSI retained all 11 of F.R.E.E.’s former employees, a move that increased NSI’s staff to 30 members. In addition to its continuation of F.R.E.E.’s services in Berks County, NSI has now established a
physical presence in Reading, partly through the continued operation of F.R.E.E.’s Refuge Home, a residential facility for human trafficking survivors focused on trauma healing, similar to NSI’s The Harbor in Lititz.
NSI now has the capability to house and care for a total of 14 human trafficking survivors at any one time, up to eight at The Harbor in Lititz and up to six at the Refuge Home in Reading.

“This is the next step for F.R.E.E.,” said Andrea McHenry, F.R.E.E.’s former executive director and NSI’s new director of outreach and advocacy. “North Star has experience that will allow the Refuge Home to be the best it can be from the beginning, and I could not be more excited.”
“Over the next 90 days we will be very focused on training staff and analyzing policies so both teams can be effective,” said Clark. “We’re not going to rush things, and if we need to take our time, we will. One of the next key pieces will be to invite the community to see what we’ve accomplished so far. We want better outcomes for survivors. It’s what everyone wants. That’s the whole point.”
NSI is one of at least four Lancaster County organizations currently battling human trafficking. Last year, NSI conducted more than 75 presentations to raise awareness about human trafficking in the community, and since its founding in 2010, the Lititz nonprofit has provided care for more than 80 survivors.
“I’d say this is unexpected, but desirable and not unimaginable,” said Clark of the F.R.E.E. merger. “The areas that nonprofits struggle in are executive leadership, developing boards and securing volunteers. We have so many resources and such a competent staff that organizations are trying to replicate it.”

Presentation to focus on Henry Stiegel
The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) will host a slideshow presentation titled “From Iron to Glass: The Vision of Henry Stiegel” when it meets at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10, in the Millersville Borough Administration and Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and lock at 9:15 a.m.
The speaker will be Daniel Snyder, who is a local historian, an antiques collector, and a novice in archaeology. Snyder, who has lived on the square in Manheim since 1990, retired in 2021 after serving for 44 years in upper-level management at senior living communities.
His presentation will examine the life and vision of Manheim founder Henry Stiegel and his ventures into iron production, real
estate development, and eventually glass manufacturing. Snyder also will touch on Stiegel’s community and church involvement prior to a question-and-answer period that will bring the meeting to a close.
Several factors contributed to Snyder’s interest in history, antiques, and archaeology. His seventh-great-grandfather immigrated to Pennsylvania from Lembach, Germany, in 1732 and established a mill along Codorus Creek in southern York County. Snyder, as a youth, was fond of collecting bottles and gained an appreciation of antiques because they had great meaning to his parents. After Snyder moved to Manheim in 1987, his love of history further developed as he attended local
antiques auctions and volunteered in various capacities with the Historic Manheim Preservation Foundation, the Manheim Historical Society, and Historic Schaefferstown, participating in its archaeological digs.
Although admission is free, donations are appreciated. For more details, contact Phil Gerber at 717-872-8837 before noon or at pge8507@aol.com.
Promise Players announce auditions
The Promise Players will hold auditions for the group’s fall performance, “Baggage Claim,” at Lampeter Church of the Brethren, 1900 Lampeter Road, Lancaster, on Sunday, Aug. 25, from 1 to 6 p.m. “Baggage Claim” tells the story of the D’Baquel family’s vacation, where things are anything but relaxing. The lodge is full of animated goofballs, and the bellhop keeps tossing their luggage into the canyon. A comedic beginning turns
into a darker reality as audiences see the family’s inner conflicts.
Roles are available for five men, five women, and additional flex roles. To schedule an audition or for more information, contact director Dorothy Smith at musicditdot@hot mail.com and note “Promise Players Auditions” in the subject line.
Performances will be held from Thursday to Sunday, Nov. 7 to 10, and from Thursday to Sunday, Nov. 14 to 17.
