Christmas Tree Mulching Program Posted

County residents can dispose of their Christmas trees in an environmentally friendly way by dropping them at the Lancaster County Central Park mulching site between dawn and dusk through Monday, Jan. 31.

The park mulching program is for Christmas trees only. No other yard waste will be accepted. Trees must be free of decorations, lights, plastic bags and hardware, including nails in the trunk. There is a three-tree limit per vehicle. Commercial haulers are strongly advised to contact their local municipalities for their respective Christmas tree recycling locations.

There is a suggested nominal donation for each tree. Donations will go toward the operation of the Dr. John Moss Native Tree Nursery in Central Park. Trees from the nursery are utilized throughout the county park system.

Moss, a former professor at Franklin & Marshall College and a founding member of the Lancaster Environmental Action Federation (LEAF), worked to promote the conservation of natural resources for the improvement of the environment of Lancaster County’s public parks and open spaces. In 2000, LEAF donated funds to the Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation for the creation of a nursery in memory of Moss.

According to park officials, residents drop off approximately 1,000 Christmas trees each year, which produce 15 tons of mulch. The mulch is ideal for acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas and for many deciduous ornamental trees and shrubs that require slightly acidic soil conditions. The mulch will be available to residents on a first-come, firstserved basis after Thursday, Jan. 6, near the tree drop-off site. Persons desiring free mulch should bring a pitchfork or shovel and a bag or a trailer to transport it home.

For more information about the Christmas tree mulching program, residents may call the park office at 717-299-8215 on Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. To learn more about the Lancaster County park system, visit www.lancastercountyparks.org.

Residents may bring Christmas trees to Lancaster County Central Park for mulching.

AmeriCorps VISTA Grant Received

The City of Lancaster received a three-year grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to establish an AmeriCorps VISTA program. This nearly $400,000 grant will help the City of Lancaster focus on creating equity and capacity in the areas of economic opportunity, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and racial equity and opportunity. This year’s emphasis will be on advancing racial equity and opportunity in city communities.

The first cohort of 10 team members and one leader will serve full time for one year, helping to build capacity within the City of Lancaster government and community organizations in Lancaster city. Each team member will contribute to the goals of the project by performing activities such as providing outreach about city programs, increasing language access, expanding recruitment efforts and the intern program, and creating more avenues for residents to take part in community activities, decisionmaking, and planning.

AmeriCorps members receive living and housing stipends during their term of service, as well as technology and transportation support and opportunities for professional development. At the end of their term, AmeriCorps members are eligible for education awards toward college or trade school.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all positions are filled. More information, including position descriptions, can be found at www.cityoflancaster pa.com/vista.

As part of the Starlight Tea concert series, Lancaster Church of the Brethren (COB) will present its annual Epiphany concert featuring the Chancel Choir and Carillon Bell Choir, directed by Matthew P. Fritz and accompanied by organist Margaret Marsch.

Performances are scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 8, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 9, at 3 p.m. in the church sanctuary at 1601 Sunset Ave., Lancaster. The Saturday evening concert also will be livestreamed on the church’s YouTube page.

The concert will include Craig Courtney’s “The Yearning,” Mendelssohn’s “There Shall a Star Come Out of Jacob,” Dan Forrest’s “The Work of Christmas,” and John Rutter’s “Go Forth Into the World in Peace.” The Carillon Bell Choir will ring Jason Krug’s “Rejoice, the Lord Is King,” and an organ solo by Marsch will be featured.

This annual concert, introduced by recently retired director of music Emery DeWitt, originated in a weather-related postponement of the church’s Christmas concert. The later date was so well received that it has become a tradition to close out the Christmas season with an Epiphany concert.

Fritz, who began as the congregation’s director of traditional music last July, is a professor of music at Elizabethtown College. He earned degrees from Westminster Choir College, Florida State University, and the Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri - Kansas City. Choirs directed by Fritz have toured Ireland, Wales, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Brazil, and areas throughout the eastern United States. In addition, he is an active adjudicator and clinician, having conducted honor choirs and all-state choirs in Alaska, Florida, Maryland, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia.

Marsch is a well-known organist who has performed across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Venues have included Washington National Cathedral, the White House, and The Forum in Harrisburg. She is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, where she studied sacred music and organ, and of Westminster Choir College.

A freewill offering will be received to support the concert series. Choir members will be masked, and audience members also are requested to wear masks throughout the concert.
