SLCOB serves simple supper with heaping portions of fellowship
haring a meal with another person is one of the most social activities humans can engage in. For Lititz Church of the Brethren (LCOB), breaking bread with neighbors is one of the highest forms of outreach.
LCOB’s community meal possesses the power to bring people together, create greater understanding and make the Warwick community stronger.
important that way. It gives an opportunity for our own (volunteers) to build relationships by working together to serve the community. It gives a lot of opportunities for a lot of people to meet new people.”
“This is just part of our mission. Our goal is to meet the needs of the community.”
“We want to engage in the community,” said Jean Strom Boyer, LCOB’s outreach and relationship ministry coordinator. “Developing relationships is important, and there’s no better way to do it than around a meal. Meals are
Located at 300 W. Orange St., Lititz, LCOB serves its community meals at 6 p.m. on the third Wednesday of every month from November to May. LCOB’s next community meal will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 15, in the church’s family life center. The meal is free to attend, but monetary freewill offerings will be accepted.
“At this point in time, the need for food is great,” said Boyer. “(LCOB’s meal is) an opportunity

Music is a gift from God.
Singing is using that gift to worship God. Singing well is a way of glorifying Him.
One A-Chord Ministries shapes diversity into unity in the name of God, and the common denominator is music.
“I love being able to teach people and lead people in how to use their gifts,” said Amy Fennimore,
who’s been the president of One A-Chord Ministries and the choir director for a dozen years.
“I want to challenge them to be their best and give their best. I always tell (the singers) that God deserves their best. When we give our best, He is honored.”
One A-Chord Ministries is a nondenominational, seasonal community choir that seeks to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the community

Christian schools in Lancaster County have never really been competitors. Now they’re working together to align their missions and streamline their efforts.
The upcoming Christian Education Fair is an event that’s designed to draw strength from numbers, explore and promote the increasing popularity of Christian education and provide families with learning opportunities that are aligned with their beliefs and their children’s needs.
“It’s not that we were against each other; it’s we weren’t working together,” said Jill Armstrong, Lancaster County Christian School’s events and

to have a meal and fellowship. We’ve seen people take advantage of it, and we welcome more.”
Following the serving of the meal and the breaking of the bread, LCOB typically offers presentations from local nonprofits, service organizations and entertainment like storytelling and crafts.
“We like to have things that might interest (people),” said Boyer. “It could be people talking about their agencies. The programs are for people to understand more about our values of service and peace. It’s designed to give people opportunities to serve in their community. People can come just for the meal or just for the program or both.”
LCOB’s community meals consist of a main course or soup, a vegetable, bread and dessert.
“We call it a simple supper,” said Boyer. “People don’t come for a full-course meal. We’re just offering food to people who want food.”
PA 17602
LCOB’s community meal is designed for residents of the Warwick School District, and on any given evening, between 60 and 100 neighbors take part in it. It takes about 20 volunteers, mainly congregation members, family members and friends, to cook, serve and clean up after the meal.
“It makes me feel good to think that volunteers are getting to know each other better,” said Boyer. “It makes me feel good to see people I know sitting with people in the community. (The volunteers) like being able to serve others. That is a big part of our ministry at the church, serving.”
LCOB, a church of about 160 active members, served its first community meal in January of 2023.
“We talked about the needs of the community,” said Boyer. “We knew the need for food was great in Lancaster and Lititz. ... It’s just kind of grown out of some ideas.”
“It aligns greatly with the church’s mission,” added Boyer. “That’s why we do it. Our mission is to transform by Christ. This is just part of our mission. Our goal is to meet the needs of the community.”

OMPH School presents Nativity play
Our Mother of Perpetual Help (OMPH) School in Ephrata recently presented “The Stations of the Nativity,” a play by Patrick Kelley. Mrs. Touloumis’ third-grade class joined with Mrs. Schulze’s fifth-grade class to put on the production. Students acted out the Nativity story, beginning with the announcement of the birth of John the
Baptist and ending with the wise men visiting Jesus. Music was provided by school principal Mrs. Snyder and school music teacher Mrs. Sands. Songs included “Waiting in Silence,” “Holy Is His Name,” and “Little Tiny Miracle.” To learn more about OMPH School, call 717738-2414 or visit www .omphschool.com.
Third-graders and fifth-graders portrayed Bible characters in “The Stations of the Nativity.”
Free throw championship posted
All boys and girls ages 9 to 14 in the Warwick School District are invited to participate in the local level of competition for the annual Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship sponsored by Council 10827. The local competition will be held on Sunday, Jan. 19, 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Lititz recCenter, 301 W. Maple St., Lititz. All contestants at the local level will receive a certificate of participation.
Additionally, winners in each age and gender category will receive a championship certificate and plaque. All participants will receive patches. Participants need not furnish proof of age, but written parental consent is required. A contestant’s age category will be determined by his or her age on Jan. 1. Competitors may register at the door, and there is no fee to enter. Contestants may only participate in one Knights
of Columbus Free Throw Championship at the local council level per year. Local winners may advance through district, regional, and state levels in subsequent weeks.
Council 10827 in Lititz is one of 17,000 Knights of Columbus councils that make up the Catholic fraternal service organization. Founded in 1882 to assist working class and immigrant Catholics in the United States, the organization now has
approximately 2 million members, who put their faith into action through a broad range of charitable causes locally, nationally, and internationally with financial contributions and hands-on service.

communication coordinator and one of the organizers of the event. “I just think there wasn’t an intentional collaboration. We can learn from each other. We can grow in different ways as we collaborate. We’re trying to find ways to work as one.”
The inaugural Christian Education Fair will be staged from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12, at Lancaster Bible College’s Good Shepherd Chapel, 901 Eden Road, Lancaster. Representatives of a dozen Christian schools in Lancaster County - Anchor Christian Academy, Dayspring Christian Academy, Hinkletown Mennonite School, Kraybill Mennonite School, Lancaster County Christian School, Lancaster Mennonite School, Linville Hill Christian School, Lititz Area Mennonite School, Lititz Christian School, Mainstay Christian Academy, Mount Calvary Christian School and Veritas Academy - will be on hand to provide information and answer questions.
Many of the Christian schools that will be represented are nondenominational private institutions designed for students in prekindergarten through grade 12. The Christian Education Fair will inform visitors about the schools’ curriculum, athletics, arts, extracurricular activities, transportation, tuition, financial aid and enrollment processes.
“I hope that it’s unifying and energizing,” said Armstrong of the education fair’s atmosphere. “I hope that it’s upbeat and there’s lively conversation. I hope the schools encourage
people to ask questions. I hope there’s kind of like a family feel.”
The event is free to attend, everyone is welcome and no registration is required.
“There are a lot of options out there, and it can be overwhelming,” said Armstrong. “I think there are families asking themselves, ‘Do I do Christian schools? Do I do public schools? Do I do homeschooling?’ I think you’ll see families with new kindergarten-age children. I think you’ll see parents of students who are experiencing natural transitions, from elementary school to middle school, from middle school to high school. There’s no pressure, no commitment; just come and learn.”
Organizers of the Christian Education Fair sent out event invitations to 18 Christian schools in Lancaster County to participate.
“Enrollment in Christian schools is growing rapidly,” said Armstrong. “I think we offer something different that families are attracted to. Most Christian schools are places of community. We want to showcase our uniqueness. But what might be right for one family might not be right for another. We’re kind of on a mission together. I think all of the Christian schools would say similar things.”
Christian schools offer just one type of private education available to Lancaster County students. The origins of local Christian schools date back to the early 1900s, and their growth seems to be associated with periods of
time when some became nondenominational.
“I think we are really privileged to live in a part of the world that has so many Christian schools,” said Armstrong. “I think the county has a lot of history of prioritizing Christian education, just by the number of Christian schools that there are. Over the years, I’ve watched schools better articulate their missions. Christian education emphasizes a biblical worldview and studying the Word of God.”

Artists may apply to exhibit at train station
The City of Lancaster Office of Public Art is seeking artists to showcase their artworks in two glass-enclosed display cases at the Lancaster Amtrak Train Station. Artists are asked to create site-specific art inspired by or cohesive with the “A Place for Every Piece: Lancaster’s Living Quilt” design.
The Lancaster Amtrak Station, the second-busiest Amtrak station in Pennsylvania, features the display cases as part of its annual art exhibitions. This year, the Art at Amtrak program will also highlight designs by Libby Modern and Jill Good, who are creating window designs for the station’s main terminal.
Artists are encouraged to submit proposals for
installations in the glass cases that either draw inspiration from or align with Modern’s and Good’s work. Proposals should include drawings, sketches, or renderings, along with a written description. While new, site-specific works are preferred, artists may adapt previous artworks to fit the aforementioned theme.
This call is open to all professional artists and artist teams age 18 and older. Each selected artist or team will receive a cash honorarium to cover project expenses, including materials, fabrication, and installation.
Submissions are due by Monday, Jan. 20. For more details, visit www .cityoflancasterpa.gov/ office-of-public-art.

One A-Chord
through song. The choir’s 100-plus members range in age from 20 to 90 and hail from all parts of Lancaster County and beyond.
One A-Chord Ministries is not affiliated with any one church, but its members represent 50 churches across the county. The group rehearses regularly at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster.
“They are people who love the Lord and worship the Lord,” said Fennimore. “They are people who want to have an opportunity for group ministry within the choir. ... They have a heart to bless the community.”
“It’s a wonderful experience to work with a group of people and accomplish something,” Fennimore continued. “Music is art, and we’re doing it together. We strive to do it to the best of our ability. Our choir has really developed a sense of family. It’s more than just an activity. (The members)
love each other and pray for each other.”
Each year, One A-Chord Ministries performs a handful of concerts during both the spring and fall/ winter seasons. The community choir sings at churches, retirement communities and events to audiences that sometimes number more than 500 listeners.
Fennimore noted that music has been part of worship services for a long time.
“In today’s world, as contemporary worship has grown, I think it’s important to embrace the new and contemporary music and continue to honor the traditional,” said Fennimore. “Music is a wonderful way to speak to the heart and soul in ways that words can’t. As the director, I try to incorporate different styles into the concerts. I am very aware that we have audiences made up of many different backgrounds.”
Fennimore acted upon an idea to have a community choir stage a concert even before One A-Chord Ministries officially became a nonprofit in 2013. The choir’s growth has simply been a validation of that idea’s value.
“It came out of a desire of singers wanting to do more,” said Fennimore. “We got people to come (to the concerts), and it grew from there. I still have a lot of the singers who were with us back then. We’ve had a lot of members come and some go. Over the years, we’ve grown and matured musically. I’ve been able to challenge (the singers) more musically. Their music skills have grown over the years.”
“Another way we’ve grown is in our relationships,” she added. “We’ve had many opportunities to sing at many places. Our passion is a love for the Lord. We want to energize people to worship the Lord
Professor to speak about avian conservation
The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet on Thursday, Jan. 9, at 7 p.m. at the North Museum of Nature and Science, 400 College Ave., Lancaster.
Dan Ardia, professor of biology at Franklin & Marshall College, will present “Avian Conservation in an Urbanized Fragmented Landscape: Evolving Techniques and Developing Partnerships.” Bird populations face increasing threats from rapid environmental change and human impacts on the landscape.
Ardia’s talk will use Lancaster as a case study for how to study and conserve birds in a fragmented and urbanized landscape. Results from existing research will be combined with describing new approaches to monitor birds in Lancaster and beyond.
Ardia has been studying the effects of rapid environmental change on birds around the world and in Lancaster. He serves the ornithological community as the board chair of Avinet Research Supplies, and he is a past president
of the Association of Field Ornithologists. He is also active in local conservation efforts as a member of the board of directors of Lancaster Conservancy and Pennsylvania Master Naturalist.
The meeting is free and open to the public. To learn more, call 717-8563851 or 717-725-2717.

Community supports Stockings For Soldiers
As part of a partnership with Keystone Military Families, Blue Ridge reached out to the community to help support this year’s Stockings For Soldiers initiative, an annual campaign to ship holiday stockings to as many U.S. soldiers as possible who will not be home for Christmas. This year’s drive helped to raise more than $34,000 in monetary aid and over two tons of stocking stuffer donations for the cause.
Keystone Military Families shipped 13,256 stockings - a new record - to military personnel.
Keystone Military Families’ annual Stockings For Soldiers initiative typically sends out 8,000 to 10,000 holiday stockings filled with food, hygiene
products, holiday decorations, Christmas cards, and other requested items. Monetary donations help provide the stockings and stuffers, as well as defray the shipping costs for the care packages. For information on how to become involved in next year’s Stockings For Soldiers initiative, contact Keystone Military Families at key stonemilitary@yahoo.com or 610-698-2122.
Keystone Military Families is located in Shoemakersville. The organization’s mission is to provide caring support for U.S. troops and veterans, and their families - funded 100% through public donations. For more information, visit www.keystonemilitary families.com.
