Our weekly “Pieces From the Past” series is taking a slightly different approach this week. Instead of highlighting an object, we are highlighting the family

of Ivan and Mate Newpher of Terre Hill, who can proudly claim to have had not one, but three sons who all served as FBI agents. Ivan served as a Terre Hill principal, and numerous family members were also

teachers, which leads one to believe intelligence was part of the family DNA. This story is quite amazing and it’s very unheard of to find multiple family members who served simultaneously under one

agency, especially back when brothers Woodrow, Orville, and Harold served together. Their sheer abilities are what made them so desirable and sought after.

Woodrow was the first brother to join the agency and because of his astounding math skills, and his command of several languages, he pioneered the

way for his other brothers to become agents as well. His sister Elsie Weinhold fondly remembers at the age of eight how her older brother Woodrow was sent to Germany as a spy to participate in the microdot program. She remembers

crying at the Christmas table in 1943 because he was far away from home and overseas. She recalled how he blended in and spoke German almost better than the natives and how he lived in the woods, which eventually began to take its toll on him physically.

Brothers Orville and Harold also had amazing reputations in the agency and both began serving their

country in the marines, later joining the FBI. Orville served for 28 years from 1946 to 1974, and he took the FBI exam just before joining the marines. When he got out, the FBI contacted him to see if he was still interested. While there he specialized in espionage and internal security. Orville was in charge of offices in both Denver and Boston and he said that not a day went by

Elsie also relays that while in Boston, Orville got to know Ted Kennedy pretty well. She said that her brothers never spoke about work, were highly respected in the community, and they believed in serving their country. Elsie also mentions that all three of her brothers were extremely intelligent, but in her view, Woodrow was in the realm of genius. He once cracked an elaborate code used in betting circles, which brought down a local Lancaster illegal enterprise.

First United Methodist Celebrates 150 Years

“And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.”- Job 8:7

First United Methodist Church started small. A small group of people from “Classes” of Ranck’s, New Holland and Hinkletown Church planted a seed in Ephrata in the spring of 1872. Their beginning was small but their latter days were great. This year of the Lord Jesus Christ 2022, they celebrate the 150th anniversary of the First United Methodist Church of Ephrata. This happened simply because a small group of people, “the founders,” felt the call of mission to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Ephrata community. They can’t count how many souls they reached out to and discipled and commissioned for their mission, bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Ephrata and beyond.

But, they can’t be content with celebrating with their rich heritage. They must engage with the future. They see our future is not the yellow brick road, but it is the rugged and challenging road. Would you set off on this new journey? Or should you take an easy path content with the status

quo? If they believe they do, they better stay where they are, but if they believe God does church, they can set off their new journey with confidence and trust in the Lord. Let them look back to see the paths First Church took. It reminds them of the hymn, “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” In verse 2, it says, “Here I raise mine Ebenezer, hither by thy help I’m come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.”

Ebenezer, “The Rock of Help” was the mark Samuel set up to remember God’s help for their great victory over the Philistines. The 150th Anniversary is their Ebenezer, the mark to remember the constant and faithful help of God for the First Church of Ephrata. Like people see many enemies and challenges before them, their predecessors saw their Philistines, but they marched and battled against their foes with faith and courage. Their eyes see the stormy ocean and rugged road in front of them, but their faith sees the peaceful port beyond the storm where they will arrive eventually. So, celebrate the promised victory. Worship Christ Jesus who keeps calling people for His mission. Glorify the Lord God who was and is and is to come.

Please come and join the church for their Anniversary Worship Service at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 30 at 68 North Church, Ephrata.

Mei Freind by Gladys S. Martin

Do sin mei Freind, all in en Roi; Sie schtehne bei mir, immer treu. Wann ich Hilf brauch, odder schpier ich bloh, Dann sin mei Freind all hendich do.

Ich hab ken Bang as sie weckdrehe; Sie sin mei Freind, Sunn odder Rege. S mache nix zu sie, bin ich aarem as an Maus, Odder reich un wuhn in en grosse Haus.

Die Freind, sie mache gaar ken Yacht; Sie waarde uff am Daag un Nacht. Sis immer friedlich, so blessierlich Mit so en ruhicher Freind, nadierlich.

Die Freind, as ich so eschdimier, As immer graad do schtehn bei mir, Sin Bicher un die Welt waer groh, Hett ich mei Freind net do bei mir do.

Weescht net die Meening vun en Watt? Un Schpelle geht dir wennich hatt? Dann grick yuscht’s Waddebuch do bei, Dei Druwwel is not all verbei.

Brauchscht du en Antwatt zu en Frog?

Witt wisse wee-ich Leeb odder Schnoge?

So Sach kannscht finne, wann yuscht guckscht! Sis alles gschriwwe in en Buch.

Witt Schillgrott-Supp nau lanne mache?

Un meh so fremm auslendisch Sache?

Dann nemm en Kochbuch in die Hand, Reseede finnscht vun manchi Land.

Wann wandle witt un hoscht ken Geld, En Buch nemmt em ganz iwwer die Welt. Du brauchscht net viele Gleeder draage; Sei net bekimmert wee-ich bezaahle.

Hock yuscht datt uff die Schockelschtuhl; Glei is mer yo in Istanbul!

Mer laaft so fatt, ganz iwwer die Welt, Un watt net mied un schpiert ken Kelt.

Witt wisse wie die Zeide waare, Viel Yaahre zerick, eb waarscht gebore?

S’sin Bicher as em alles saage, Weye selle lang vergangne Daage.

Mer kenn not lese, as annre Leit Aa Druwwel ghat hen, graad wie heit. Un wann mir ihre Fehler sehne, Dann sett’s uns helfe, deetscht net meene?

En Buch lannt uns all Orde Sache; Es macht em heile, macht em lache. En Buch helft uns Elend vergesse, Der Waerd vun lese kannscht net messe.

My Friend

Here are my friends, all in a row; They stand by me, always faithful.

If I need help, or if I feel blue, Then my friends are all handy here.

I have no fear that they will turn away; They are my friends, sunshine or rain.

January 3-4, 1985

If I would not have my friends here.

Do you not know the meaning of a word?

And spelling is hard for you?

Then just take down the dictionary; Your troubles are over then.

Do you need an answer to a question?

Do you want to know about lions or mosquitoes? Such things you can find if you only look!

It is all written in a book.

Do you want to learn to make turtle soup?

And more such foreign things?

Then take a cookbook in your hand, You’ll find recipes from many lands.

If you like to travel and have no money, A book will take you all over the world. You will not need to carry many clothes; Don’t worry about paying.

Just sit there in your rocking chair; Soon one will be in Istanbul!

One walks about, all over the world, And does not get tired and feels no cold.

Do you want to know how times were, Many years ago, before you were born?

There are books that tell us all

About those long bygone days.

One can read then that other people

Had trouble also, just like today.

And if one sees their faults, Then that should help us, wouldn’t you think?

A book teaches us all sorts of things; It makes one cry, makes one laugh.

A book helps one to forget trouble, The value of reading cannot be measured. ***

It does not matter to them if I’m poor as a mouse, Or rich and live in a large house.

These friends make no noise; They serve me day and night.

It is always peaceful, so pleasant With such a quiet friend, naturally.

These friends that I value so much, Who always stand by me, Are books and the world would be grey,

On February 27, the next to last day in February, Gladys S. Martin of Route 3, “Effredaa,” sent us MEI FREIND, which you are reading this week and DER ALT SCHOCKELSCHTUL, which you will see next week. Again we are beholden to this gifted poetess from Glenwood Drive. With this poem, MEI FREIND, Gladys has hit the literary jackpot! It is the most beautiful poem on books we have seen in our Mudderschprooch. If another which compares with it exists, we have not seen it. Please note her careful use of the dialect, her avoidance of English loans. She cleverly slips in the German word “treu.” For this artistic accomplishment, Gladys, we raise our Deitscher Schtrohhut in salute!!! All we can say to the rest of our readers is: Go and do likewise.

The same day Gladys’ letter reached us in February, we received another fat envelope from “Dafe Hannbariyer.” Before long, we’ll be sharing more of his memories and reflections with you. Oh, yes, there are two more poems by Gladys S. Martin just around the corner. Gladys mailed them to us last October, but they disappeared in BischliGnippli’s mail pile. (Was is sell in Deitsch? Meelhaufe?) June 19, 1985

Operation Christmas Child Project

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organi zation. Its mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. These simple gifts are shipped outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster,

famine, and disease, and to children within the U.S. living on Native American reservations.

After receiving shoebox gifts, many boys and girls are invited to enroll in The Greatest Journey, Operation

Christmas Child’s 12-lesson discipleship program. Through the program, ministry partners are able to establish longterm, caring relationships with children and families, sharing the love of Jesus

Christ. More than 30.9 million children have enrolled in this program since 2009.

Petra Church has been an area Drop-Off Center since 2012. Shoeboxes are packed in cartons for shipping. It has collected as many as 4,220 boxes in one year!

Last year, 31 Petra attendees volunteered over 72.5 hours at Petra’s DropOff Center. Between its own collection of 610 boxes and additional boxes dropped off by area residents, churches, and organizations, Petra pro cessed a total of 4,220 boxes.

Petra collected approxi mately 3,600 shoeboxes last year. Altogether, in

2021, more than 10.5 million shoeboxes were collected across the U.S. The national shoebox collection week for 2022 is Monday, November 14 through Monday, Novem ber 21. Samaritan’s Purse plans to collect shoebox gifts in over 4,500 locations across the U.S. Petra will be open for two to four hours each of those days to receive and process shoeboxes. For a drop-off schedule, contact the church at jennys@petra. church or 717-354-5394.

If members of the community would like to volunteer at Petra’s DropOff Center, they can contact coordinator Marilyn Coles at mgcoles@aol.com.

A Fearful Heart (Part One)

Author: Wenger

Scripture: John 14:27“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

There was a young lad who got a job at the local zoo cleaning out the cages. The first couple of days went well until the keeper instructed him to clean the lion’s cage. The lad answered saying “I am not going into the lion’s

cage. The keeper said why not he is tame and he was raised on milk. The lad replied “I was raised on milk too but now I eat meat.”

Jesus said “be not afraid… do not fear…do not be anxious.” There are many types of fear. A reverential fear of God is a good thing. In Psalm 2:11 it says, “Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.”

Certain fears are healthy. We are born with two fears… the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. Fear is the perception of danger. This fear too can be helpful in a serious life-threatening situation; it heightens our awareness and makes adrenalin flow to possibly save your life. It enables

the fight or flight reactions. Other fears may come from our inability to control a situation. This fear is more often the biggest concern. Really, how often do we come into a life-threatening situation? It’s the daily fears that cause alarm and emotional instability.

For the believer we are commanded to “fear not” why…because Christ said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Fully 95% of our fears never materialize. Why do we spend so much non-productive time in fear; if that which we fear never happens? Fear is paralyzing. Fear will keep you from doing what you should do. I further suggest it reveals a serious heart condition…

failure to really trust our Heavenly Father’s plan. He does have a plan. God never says, how did that happen, now what am I going to do? He is in control and His plan is good. He says to Israel in Jeremiah chapter 29, “to give you a future and a hope.” God is still in the future and hope business. Please don’t forget the next two verses in that chapter that say, “Then you will call upon Me and pray to Me, and I will listen to you… you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all of your heart.” If you want peace in the midst of difficult times seek Him at all times.

Fear is disabling for the Christian and is usually

embroiled in doubt. Just look at a few examples from the Bible; because of fear Abraham lied about Sarah his wife saying she was his sister when he went to Egypt. She was beautiful and he feared that Pharaoh would take her and kill him. Moses was fearful to speak for God and go to Pharaoh. The ten spies that were sent to look at the land they were to possess but they feared the people of the land and caused Israel to wonder in the desert for forty years because of unbelief. God told them in Joshua 3:10 He would drive the people out before you. Isaac lied about his wife Rebekah and said she was his sister. King Saul was afraid and his heart

trebled when he saw the Philistines so he sought out a witch instead of believing… he was filled with unbelief and fear. Saul also offered the sacrifice strictly forbidden when Samuel didn’t arrive in time. As a result he lost his kingship over Israel.

For the believer, fears are brought under control and diminished by the word of God and prayer. We have many promises…we either believe them or we don’t. Joshua 1:9 - “Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Next week we will look at how to handle fear…God’s Rx for fear.

* Post­Halloween sales are a great time to pick up imagination­stimulating accessories and outfits for the dress­up bin.

* “Young children often love the act of pumpkin carving, but apart from letting them scoop out the seeds (which is FUN), there’s not a safe way to let them help with the cutting. I recommend purchasing a small pumpkin for the little ones to decorate with markers or paint.” -- W.F. in South Carolina

* “Baby lotion is great to have around on Halloween, because it can be used to remove face paint. Masks can restrict children’s vision when trick­or­treating, so face paint is a better way to go. Use a washcloth and baby lotion to get that paint off quick.” -- A.V. in Oregon

* Choose a batterypowered candle for your carved jack­o’­lanterns. You can leave it on longer, even when you aren’t home. And it’s much safer than a true flame.

* “Give any costume that your kid wants to wear for Halloween the ‘dance test.’ Have him or her put on the costume and dance around. If the child is tripping over the hems or the accessories

* Make your own bed buddy hot pad with a long sock and rice. Use a sock that’s knee high, and fill it about two­thirds with plain, uncooked white rice. Knot it an inch or two from the top of the rice, so it’s nice and loose. Once it’s secure, you can stick the sock into the microwave for 1­2 minutes. The rice heats up and the heat is stored in the rice. It’s wonderful for aches and pains ­­ or just for keeping toes toasty!

* “When I was a kid, the side of my yard was soft sand, but it’s where my brother and I kept our bikes. I liked my bike to stand up, because it kept the sand out of my gears. The kick stand was sinking in the sand, and my dad gave me an old tennis ball that he had poked a hole into. I put it on the kick stand, and from then on, it stayed standing up. Thought I would share.” ­M.N. in Florida

* When figuring up the cost of moving yourself or using a service, be sure to consider the cost of your time and your health. And be certain that you are able to drive the moving van if you rent a large truck.

* If you don’t keep a lot of foods in your freezer, you can fill large gallonsize zipper top bags with ice cubes. You will always have plenty of ice on hand, and your freezer will not have to work as hard to keep the items in it frozen.

Gehmans Mennonite

Charity Auker

8th Grade

Charity Auker is a fun-loving, creative eighth grader at Gehmans Mennonite School. Her favorite thing about school is the social aspect of it. She is involved in yearbook this year which makes her a familiar face with the students. Her favorite subject is literature, “because I like reading stories and having different discussions about the books and the themes.” After graduating eighth grade she plans to attend Terre Hill Mennonite High School.

At home or in her spare time, you will most likely find Charity with her nose in a book. She also enjoys listening to music, being outside, playing sports with her two brothers, and baking. Her sketch book overflows with drawings and sketches containing anything from people to cups of hot cocoa. Her favorite food is crispy French fries topped by ketchup alongside a burger.

Charity loves Jesus a lot and it shines through. She became a Christian when she was ten years old. She and her family attend Heritage Mennonite Church.

If given the chance to travel anywhere in the world, she would go to Uganda because she wants to work in the orphanage that her relatives run. This dream just goes to show her huge heart for people and how much she loves Jesus.

Written by: Renee Martin

Charity is one of those people whose encouragement hits the spot and whose smile brightens your day. She has been an amazing friend to me personally, and so many others as well. I hope that you get the chance to get to know her or someone like her.

Kauffman

Garden Spot

Zane Kauffman Senior

This year’s Garden Spot homecoming king is known for his musical talents, along with a handful of other extracurricular activities.

Zane Kauffman, 17, son of Tim and Zoila Kauffman, was chosen by Garden Spot students. For Kauffman, the title is an honor; for his peers, it doesn’t come as a shock.

“Zane’s a well-known person in the community,” Brian Santiz-Mendez, a friend and bandmate, says.

Kauffman has been involved in Garden Spot Performing Arts, lacrosse, and marching band; he works at Kauffman’s, the family orchard business, and he performs worship music for local churches such as Petra here in New Holland.

His deepest passion lies in music. This passion drove him to create his own band with two of his peers: Cole Leaman and Brian Santiz-Mendez, both seniors at Garden Spot High School. The band’s name is State Hill, and their first album releases on November 15 on most music streaming services.

Kauffman heads the band and is in charge of booking gigs and producing demos.

“I enjoy the stress. It is stressful, considering we don’t have a manager yet,” he says. “It’s just very special to perform and work with [these] guys.”

“He has a good leadership quality in him that I haven’t seen in many other people,” Cole Leaman, the drummer of State Hill, says.

Natalija Gligorevic

Kauffman’s love for his school, peers, and music has driven him to the place he is today–a place where he is releasing self-made music with his best friends and being crowned homecoming king by a community that loves him back.
