A journey of faith
BY ANN MEAD ASH
When Theresa Newell of New Holland returned home from a trip to Hilton Head, S.C., in August, she was hoping to spend a day catching up - unpacking and reading her mail. But God had other plans for the busy grandmother.
In Newell’s email was an invitation to Lausanne 4, which was to be held in Seoul, South Korea, from Sept. 22 to 28. Newell was at the original Lausanne meeting in Switzerland in 1974. “Billy Graham and John Stott put a blanket call to Christian leaders,” recalled Newell. “The motto is ‚ÄòThe Whole Church taking the Whole Gospel to the Whole World.’” The Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism, with which Newell is connected,
SINGING SPRING FOODS
was one of the first networks to form following the initial event.
Newell reported that “Let the Church declare and display Christ together” was the title of Lausanne 4. The seven-day event attracted about 5,000 invited church leaders. “We were in this huge auditorium divided into table groups of six,” said Newell, who noted that worship was held both morning and evening. “There was Bible teaching from the Book of Acts and then a plenary morning teacher,” said Newell, who added that she can rewatch sessions, such as a day devoted to “the persecuted church,” featuring speakers who had been confined in Iran. “(One speaker) had been in solitary (confinement) for a year, and he was rejoicing about the people coming to faith in Jesus in Iran,” said Newell.
Afternoon sessions included a variety of topics for participants to attend. “I picked secularization because I feel that’s very important in America,” recalled Newell, who heard David Brown of England report on the secularization of Europe. Newell’s photos from the event are filled with individuals who make up a “who’s who” of international evangelism. Newell had her photo taken with Susan Perlman, the assistant director of Jews for Jesus, well-known Christian author and pastor Rick Warren, and a pastor from one of Tim Keller’s churches in Manhattan, among others.
Newell’s next stop was Uzbekistan in Central
Asia. “I was on the Old Silk Road,” said Newell of the trade route that originally led from China to the Mediterranean Sea.
“I was invited by a YWAM couple from Petra Church who have been in Central Asia for many years,”
Newell explained, noting she traveled from Seoul to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and that she visited Samarkand and Bukhara, as well.
“I am doing research on the history of the Jews in Central Asia, so I went to many synagogues,” she said, adding that she has been connected to CMJ USA, a ministry among Jewish people. Newell opened the first CMJ office in the U.S. in 1980. During her visit, Newell stopped in major cities along the Old Silk Road while completing her research. Newell has written booklets on a variety of topics, including “The Rev. Dr. Jakob Jocz, CMJ Evangelist and Theologian;” “Bonhoeffer and the Jews;” and “Jesus Masked: Anti-Jewish Theologies,”
which explores why the Jewish heritage of Jesus has been excluded from the understanding of Christ as Savior.
Newell did a little sightseeing on her journey as well, having a photo taken at the borders of North and South Korea with one foot in each country. She also took lots of photos on the Old Silk Road. “These are silk cocoons,” she said as she displayed her photos. “There was silk everywhere.”

What happens when a bunch of motorcycle riders come together? A giant convoy traveling through a 25-mile route and raising money for veterans at the same time.
The 16th annual New Year’s Day ride will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 1, with registration beginning at 10 a.m. at the Walter S. Ebersole American Legion Post 185, 255 W. Main St., Mount Joy. The ride will leave from the Legion at
1 p.m., and participants will follow a route along the Susquehanna River, ending at the Elizabethtown American Legion Post 329, 240 N. Hanover St.
Members of the ladies’ auxiliary will serve breakfast at the Mount Joy Legion before the ride, and a pork and sauerkraut meal will be served at the Elizabethtown Legion at the ride’s conclusion.
Tyler Stumpf and his friend Jeff Andrews dreamed up the idea for the benefit ride while hanging
out during the Christmas season 16 years ago.
“They started talking about how nobody does a ride in January, and they were like, ‘Let’s do one!’” said Mike Hehnly, who is stepping up to coordinate the event for the first time this year. “They thought, instead of making a New Year’s resolution they’re never going to keep, they wanted to get people together for a ride and raise some money for veterans at the same time.”
Money will be raised through the entry fee as well as sales of tickets for giveaway items donated to the cause. All proceeds will benefit the Lebanon VA Medical Center.
“Last year, we raised $36,000,” Hehnly shared. “All of the money we raise goes directly to the vets, to help with their needs. Over the years, we have raised more than $300,000.”
Although the event raises money for a serious cause, it’s filled with light-hearted moments and fellowship.
Each year, a participant is chosen to be Baby New Year, and he or she must attend in a baby costume and sash. This year’s honoree is Mark Harshberger.
Although the event began
Honor roll from pg 6 Rev
as a motorcycle ride, it’s open to any type of vehicle, and people do not need to have a connection to the Legion to participate.
“We’d love for anyone who is interested to come out and join us,” Hehnly said. “We usually have more than 450 people registered for this. It’s a great way to meet and share fellowship with other riders in the community.”
And for non-riders, the event has become a fun tradition as well.
“We have people stand out in their yards along the route, holding signs cheering us on,” Hehnly commented. “It’s fun to see people along the route.”
Local businesses help to make the event possible as well, from Hummer’s Meats, which donates the post-ride meal, to Love’s Tree Service & Systems, which provides a video overview of the riders from a crane as they pass by.
For more information on the ride, visit https://bit .ly/3D3WAZb or call 717629-7754. Photos of items available to win will be posted regularly on the site up until the event. Preregistration is encouraged for the ride, but same-day signups will also be available.

EPAC transforms lively community into thriving one
BY JEFF FALK
Art and culture provide an escape, they introduce new ideas, and they enhance lives.
The Ephrata Performing Arts Center (EPAC) plays an important, but sometimes undervalued, role in our community.
“Art, and specifically live performing art, is something that brings people together,” said Zach Haines, who’s been EPAC’s media director for seven years.
“When you’re in performing arts, it gives you something to think about. It’s a great way to think about topics in different ways. Art extends to an audience, and that audience shares things with (other) people. I think that’s such an important message in today’s society.”
Located at 320 Cocalico St., Ephrata, EPAC has a long tradition of providing quality theater and entertainment to audiences and giving local performers opportunities to hone their skills and share their talents. Physically, EPAC is an intimate space featuring a three-quarter thrust stage that is surrounded by 300 seats on three sides.
“It provides a really interactive experience because the stage is right there,” said Haines. “It’s almost like theater in the round. You feel like you’re in the setting and that you’re part of the action. It changes the perceptions of the show when you’re in it. It’s such an amazing way to be part of the story. It’s a very welcoming space for our patrons.”
“When you walk through the door, you’re greeted by
friendly staff,” Haines continued. “The performance will go on, and following that, the lobby serves as a space for people to mingle and discuss what they just saw. We like to make sure everyone is taken care of when they come see a show with us. When you come in our doors, you’re going to experience some of the best theater you can find in this area.”
Typically, EPAC presents seven theatrical performances throughout each year, including musicals over the span of three consecutive weekends and plays over two consecutive weekends. Many of the performers are homegrown actors and actresses from all parts of Lancaster County.
EPAC also hosts special events like concerts, pageants and dance recitals.
“Most of our actor base is local volunteers, and they’re sensational,” said Haines. “We are fortunate to be in an area where theater is so important in people’s lives. The teen performers in this area are astonishingly talented.”
“Our mission is to bring a high-caliber production to our community,” added Haines. “We believe in the stories we tell. We want to bring them to the community in an accessible manner. We provide a safe space for collaboration and expression. We give audiences things to think about, and they really appreciate the work we do. I hear all the time how EPAC is a jewel in the community. I think that about sums it up.”
The venue’s origin can be traced to the mid-1950s,
when Broadway production troupes traveled to local communities and performed at places like the Ephrata Legion Star Playhouse. Eventually, volunteers dedicated themselves to making sure the theater being performed in Ephrata in summer became a year-round undertaking.
“The Ephrata community banded together to formalize it as a performing arts center,” said Haines. “The theater itself is an old barn; it’s had a lot renovations over the years, and we haven’t looked back. The quality of our shows, the sets, the lights, the costumes - we’ve really invested in our shows to make them off-Broadway quality. We just keep investing in ourselves and getting better. That’s something we’re really proud of.”

Tree Tenders training planned
Penn State Extension will offer a Tree Tenders training webinar series on Wednesdays, Jan. 8 to Feb. 19, from noon to 1 p.m. Through the Tree Tenders training program, developed by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in partnership with Penn State Extension Urban Foresters, people may gain the skills needed to restore and care for their community’s tree canopy. Individuals learn how to plant, prune,
and maintain trees. Tree Tenders work to increase environmental health and sustainability, enhance green spaces, and increase tree cover in neighborhoods across Pennsylvania. Since 1993, PHS has trained thousands of Tree Tenders in more than 200 neighborhoods across Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has supported the program since 2004.
In 2008, the program expanded to Pittsburgh and smaller metropolitan areas, and by 2013, it became available statewide. Since then, thousands more have been trained throughout Pennsylvania and beyond.
Each participant will receive a printed copy of the Tree Tenders Handbook, published by PHS.
