Everence Schedules Stewardship University 2020 By Ann Mead Ash

Lynette Morales, the Everence church relations representative who coordinates Stewardship University, wants Lancaster County residents to know that the yearly event is not just about money. “It is a day of holistic stewardship,� said Morales, who noted that the workshops offered are designed to answer questions like: What does it mean to be a good steward of the Gospel? Or of the gifts God has given me? Stewardship University 2020 will be held on Saturday, March 7, at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. followed by a time of worship, after which keynote speaker Hank Johnson of Harrisburg Brethren in Christ Church will speak on “Being the Body of Christ.� The opening will be followed by

more than 30 workshops divided into 12 tracks, with three workshops per track. “We have a millennials track, a mental health track, a Bible and stewardship track, family and community, 55 and older, (and more),� said Morales. “This year the workshops are incredible,� she added. Among this year’s workshop titles are “Missions in Your Own Backyard,� “Combatting Human Trafficking,� “55 and Counting,� “Elevate Your Nutrition,� “Kingdom Entrepreneurship,� “Make Medicare an Easy Step,� and “Overcoming Burnout and Disappointment.� Morales pointed out that experts in specific fields will teach the workshops. “We have one called ‘Modern-Day Lepers,’� she said, noting that the workshop will focus on integrating sex offenders who have come out of incarceration into a church community.

Family Fun With The Thunder By Ann Mead Ash

Lucas Morrison, age 15, is listed as the Stat Guy for the Ephrata Thunder, a semipro men’s basketball team playing home games at Warwick Middle School (WMS), but according to his mother, head coach Malin Morrison, he does

much more. “(Lucas) does all my promotions and statistics and everything I need on the computer,� said Malin, who noted that Lucas announces games and helps out during practice. While Lucas is a busy guy, he does not think of his work with the team in terms of job duties. “It’s a lot of fun doing this,� he said. “We’re not just a team. It’s kind of like a family. We are that close.� The Thunder began playing in the area in the fall of 2019 See Ephrata Thunder pg 4

The Ephrata Thunder, a semipro men’s American Basketball Association team, plays home games at Warwick Middle School (WMS). The Thunder is both owned and coached by Malin Morrison of Manheim (center).

Phoebe Roe participated in the York County Stars pageant in 2019. This year, she plans to take part in the first Everybody Shines pageant for individuals with disabilities, organized by Lancaster Down Syndrome Advocates. The event will be held at the Farm and Home Center on Feb. 16.
