One World Festival Is Event of Distinction and Similarities
BY JEFF FALK
Song, dance, cuisine, accessories, culture. What’s not to like?
Not only does the One World Festival bring people out, the event brings people together.
“Personally, I think people are more similar than they are different,” said Deepa Balepur, the chairperson of the nine-member One World Festival committee. “At the end of the day, we’re all human beings striving to be good citizens of the world. One world, many cultures, shared future.”
The next installment of the annual One World Festival is upon us. The multicultural, multifaceted, multipurpose festival will be staged from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28, at Franklin & Marshall College’s Alumni Sports and Fitness Center, 929 Harrisburg
Ave., Lancaster. The sponsored event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome, but registration at
https://oneworldfestivallancaster .org is requested. “We might have different customs and flavors, but we are all living in this one world,” said Jenny Schulder Brant, a member of the One World

For Mike Musser, Recovery Fight Is Personal
BY JEFF FALK
When Mike Musser looks into the faces of the people he’s helping, he sees himself. And when he does, one of his hopes is that they will have what he has now.
Musser’s Street Ministry is based in empathy and inspired by hope.
“I also see people I used to live with on the streets,” said Musser. “They see our consistency, and when they’re ready, they come to us. My wife and I started it, and we did it by ourselves. Now we’re getting more people to help. The
need doesn’t get missed. Every day in Lancaster, there are food giveaways, except Sundays. That’s why we do it on Sundays.”
Musser and his wife, Sarah, founded Musser’s Street Ministry in 2023. With the help of eight to 10 volunteers, the Mussers distribute meals to more than 50 individuals right there on the sidewalks outside of First Reformed Church, 40 E. Orange St., Lancaster, on the second and last Sundays of every month.
Prior to distribution, the food is prepared at Leola United Methodist

Not unlike beauty, art is in the eye of the beholder.
Art is what you make of it. Art is where you find it. Art moves us all, each in our own unique way. Interpretation will abound at the Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Arts Show.

Fairing Well
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Paulene Redding, president of the New Holland Farmers Day Association, is game to tackle the tough stuff, and she believes the tough stuff can get done when the community pulls together. Case in point, the second floor of the New Holland Farmers Day Association, 101 W. Franklin St., New Holland, needed to be cleaned following construction to make it pristine for the needlework displays at this year’s fair. “I invited (committee) chairs and board members to clean up after the construction,” shared Redding. “I said, ‘Let’s get together for pizza and snacks and turn on some music. Everyone bring a bucket and rags.’”
Redding brings that same spirit to the organization of the New Holland Farmers Fair activities. This year’s 93rd annual event will kick off with the annual fair parade at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1. Rides, carnival games, contests, food, entertainment, and more will be part of the celebration, which will last through
the evening of Saturday, Oct. 4. One event that is held prior to the parade is the New Holland Fair queen competition, which is open to young women ages 16 to 20 who live in ELANCO, Pequea Valley, or Conestoga Valley school districts. This year’s competition will be held on Sunday, Sept. 28. The fair queen competition will be sponsored by New Holland Auto Group again this year. Redding, who organizes the parade, said that all the sponsor spots are full this year. Premium spots raise about $12,000, which will be used to aid in paying off the new elevator in the Farmers Association building. “Our honor band is Central York Middle School Fife and Drum,” stated Redding, who added that six high school bands will take part in the parade and that the Lincoln University Orange Crush band is returning. “I remember the first time we saw them,” recalled Redding. “They did a Michael Jackson move, and it was pretty cool.” Redding expects up to 17 bands will march

Church and Breakout Ministries in Leola.
“I made some bad choices when I was younger, and I was homeless once,” said Musser, a 55-year-old resident of Leola. “I used to go to the free meals in Lancaster. There was a gentleman there who would hand out stuff out of the trunk of his car. I made a promise to God that if I ever got out of that situation, I’d give back. I’ve been out of that situation for seven and a half years, and now I’m deeply involved in the recovery community.”
Musser also spent three years in jail before finding his way to The Potter’s House recovery center and its Jesus Advantage program. Not only did the program change the direction of Musser’s life, but it also changed him.
“I’m a totally different person,” said Musser. “I was clean when I started going there, but I wasn’t an open person. I didn’t like to talk about it. Now, I’m more open. Because of my ministry, I have to give my testimony. I would’ve never done that before Jesus Advantage. That’s how you stay free of what you’re dealing with. The more you talk about what you’re going through, the more people can help you.”
Jesus Advantage is a Christian-based recovery meeting for people with addictions. Musser began going to meetings when Jesus Advantage was started five years ago, and he still attends.
“I worked at The Potter’s House, and that’s how I got involved with Jesus Advantage,” said Musser. “You can go there, be honest about what you’re going through and people will pray for you, and you don’t have to worry about people judging you. You can talk freely about your religion. Their motto is, ‘Get free and stay free.’ It’s big-time accountability, and it helped change my life.”
“You don’t have to be going to church for us to help you,” Musser added. “When you’re ready for a change, we’ll get you off the street. When people get out of rehab, we stay in touch. It’s a whole process. We help them with anything they need. I want the person struggling on the street to have what I have now. But it takes a good support system like Jesus Advantage. Everybody needs help at some point.”

Musser’s work at The Potter’s House regularly took him to the nonprofit Blessings of Hope. It was there that he met Sarah, who was working at the front desk. Musser proposed to Sarah at a Jesus Advantage meeting, and now they’ve been married for three years.
“She’s beautiful, and she’s my best friend,” said Musser, a native of the Elizabethtown area. “When I saw her, God told me that’s my wife. When we first started dating, I told her my story. Now, here we are three years later, and I’m living my best life. She’s all in. She’s totally supportive.” For additional information, go to www.mussers-street -ministry.com.

it takes all kinds,” said Alex Van Pelt, who’s been the environmental education program manager for the Manheim Township Recreation and Parks Planning (MTRPP) department for eight years. “Everybody sees different value in different works. That’s the beauty of the show.”
MTRPP’s 27th annual Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Arts Show will be presented from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27, at Landis Woods Park, 2369 Lititz Pike, Lancaster. The rain-orshine event is free to attend, and free parking will be available at Neffsville Mennonite Church, 2371 Lititz Pike, Lancaster.
“The art show is a unique event because it’s entirely out -
doors,” said Van Pelt. “It’s an art show set in nature. There will be centrally located music that you can hear throughout the park. The artists’ tents are spread out, and there’s a nice outdoors feel to it. It’s just a nice day in the park.”
The Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Arts Show will feature the works of 25 mostly Lancaster County artists in mediums like watercolor, oil, acrylics, sketching, woodworking and metalworking. The artists will offer some of their works for sale.
Several cash prizes will be awarded to the pieces of art, including best of show.
“A lot of these artists have studios,” said Van Pelt, “and for a
majority of them, it’s their living. It’s not a hobby.”
“For me personally, I like the wood working booth,” continued Van Pelt. “A lot of the artists are actively working throughout the show. It’s enjoyable to me to watch someone make something out of a piece of wood.”
The art show’s vibe will be supplemented by music and hot and cold food items made available by the Neffsville Mennonite Church youth group. But the artistic atmosphere will be inspired by trees, nature and early fall weather.
“It’s very laid back,” said Van Pelt. “You have visitors of all ages, and some people like watching the bands all day. It’s well attended. It’s a nice outing for residents.”
The Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Arts Show will present audio art from Stone Soup String Band from 9 to 10:30 a.m., Jim Sorrentino Jazz Band from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., Lancaster County Folk Music and Fiddle Society from 12:30 to 2 p.m. and the Steve Barth Band from 2:15 to 3:45 p.m.
“Lancaster is an interesting area, and there are a lot of art shows here,” said Van Pelt. “(The Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Arts Show is) an opportunity to see a lot of different artists, and this one is held in the woods, which is one of the most unique settings for an art show in Lancaster County.”
The outdoor fine arts show was established in 1999 through the efforts of former Manheim Township supervisor and art lover Roy Baldwin. Since its inception, the show has gained popularity by capturing the imaginations of local residents.
“(The show) has had a pretty decent history in Lancaster,” said Van Pelt. “There have certainly been ebbs and flows. But the community has varying interests in art. It’s always been a little different.”
In addition to the art show, MTRPP also sponsors a pair of Halloween carnivals near the end of October, a holiday open house in early December, a groundhog’s day celebration in early February, a community egg hunt in April and now an Earth Day festival near the end of April.
“Over the last five or 10 years, the rec department has put more energy into community events,” said Van Pelt. “We’re just trying to have as many events and programs as we can. We want to keep them engaging for the whole community. (The art show) is one of the longer standing events. There are demographics of people who have interest in this art show. We try to make sure there are all types of events for all ages and all walks of life.”

Festival committee. “We do need to interact, and we have to find that common thread that unites us. We have people from all over the world living in this community. We all send our kids to school together. It’s nice to be able to celebrate that.”
This year’s One World Festival will feature 12 musical/dance performing groups, including ones from the Indian, Latin-American, Irish, Greek, Middle Eastern, traditional German and Jewish communities. On the average, each performance will last about 20 minutes.
Also featured will be seven food vendors offering Asian, Indian, Latin, Egyptian, Italian and Greek cuisine and one offering international desserts. In addition, the festival will include a dozen global merchandise vendors.
The family-friendly event will also include a kids’ area complete with arts and crafts, activities, face painting, balloon animals and caricature drawing.
“There’s a lot of energy,” said Kris Bradley, One World Festival’s marketing director. “From the first (musical) performance it’s amazing, and then it’s just one after the other. You’ve got to go just to see the performances.”
“It’s very festive,” said Balepur. “It’s just a great time for everyone. To see Lancaster County come together, it’s uplifting.”
More than 4,000 local residents are expected to attend from communities across Lancaster County, with varying backgrounds and different heritages.
“They are people who are looking to have fun and have a family
experience that’s also educational,” said Schulder Brant. “It’s amazing being part of a community of likeminded people who are looking to understand people who are ‘different’ than them. Everyone in that room is choosing to be there with an open mind.”
“They are people who are genuinely interested in learning about different cultures,” said Balepur. “We have observed that, and there is a lot of genuine conversation.
Last year, someone told me, ‘This is as close as I’ll get to visiting these countries.’”
Following periods of discussion and planning, the One World Festival was established in 2022. The concept was met with initial enthusiasm, and the event has just kept gaining momentum since.
“It started off with a bang and a couple of thousand attendees, and it’s stayed like that,” said Balepur. “We’re really receptive to community feedback. We heard the community when they said, ‘We had a great time, but why not try …’ When we all come together, share our traditions and learn from each other, we build a stronger community for all of us. That’s what makes Lancaster County such a special place.”
“I think the core values are really very similar,” said Schulder Brant. “They’re people who want the best for their families, like they want the best for their communities. It’s people who are taking care of their families and being part of a great event. There are similarities in our humanities, but everybody’s different, and seeing those differences is a positive thing.”
Outpour Seeking Singers for Kids’ Choir
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Katie Wieand believes in using her gifts to serve others.
That’s why she is the director of the Outpour Community Worship Choirs.
The choirs rehearse in Grace Community Church of Willow Street, 212 Peach Bottom Road, Willow Street.
The Outpour Kids Community Worship Choir for children in kindergarten through eighth grade will practice from 6 to 7:15 p.m. on Thursdays from Oct. 2 to Nov. 13. The deadline to register at www.outpourkids.com is Sunday, Sept. 28. There is a fee, which includes music and materials and a performance shirt. “If finances are an issue, we have scholarships,” Wieand said. “We have people in our congregation who have set aside resources to be able to help families.”
There is also an audition choir for students in grades six through eight who are advanced and interested in specialized training in worship leading. The fall auditions have already been held. The winter session will start Thursday, Jan. 29.
The choirs are open to every kid regardless of location. “I think it’s important for families to know that by joining a choir here, it doesn’t mean you’re leaving your church,” Wieand said. “This is just like a a sports program that’s out at a rec league, and you’re just gaining skills to be able to use back at your school. This is here for the
October 18 10:00am-3:00pm
whole community.”
The choir rehearsals will culminate with a free concert at Grace Community Church on Friday, Nov. 21, at 7 p.m. “That’s open to the community for free, and the entire worship night is led by the kids and teens,” said Wieand.
The choirs are celebrating their fifth anniversary. Wieand has led the kids’ music program and the kids’ Sunday morning worship at Grace Community Church for 13 years.
“When we expanded the (church) building, when we were gifted this, we wanted to be able to help other churches who may not have the facilities or the time to be able to help their raise their kids up to be the future worship leaders,” Wieand said. “The church is going to need the next generation of leaders and pastors and worship leaders.”

in the parade, including the Fralinger String Band.
Parade attendees are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to donate to a drive organized by CrossNet youths and Garden Spot Village residents during the parade. Collected food items will be donated to the CrossNet Food and Nutrition Center.
Nightly entertainment was introduced during the 2022 fair. This year, performances will be held on Towne Centre Green from 7 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 2, and Friday, Oct. 3, and 1 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 4. “Entertainment is all free, and it’s a mix of musical acts - rock, country, oldies,” announced Redding.
The petting zoo will return to Franklin Street across from the farm show building and near the merry-go-round. Junior Fair Board members have painted signs to help guide fair attendees to the animal exhibits, including sheep, goats, and swine, which will be located on Fulton Street. This year, rabbits will be exhibited once again. “We have 30 signs they painted with jokes and pictures of animals and fun facts to lead people down to the animals,” noted Redding.
The Junior Fair Board has also lobbied for a talent show, which will be held on Towne Center Greene on the morning of Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. “Just show up and show us your talent,” said Redding, who added that volunteer T-shirts were designed by Junior Fair Board member Bella Jones and sponsored by Case New Holland.
In an effort to involve more young people in fair activities, Redding has enlisted IU13 students to hang parking signs and clean up after the parade, as they have for the past two years. “We also met with (ELANCO School District superintendent Dr. Michael) Snopkowski,” said Redding, who noted the administrator has “gone out of his way to” contact students and teachers to participate. “For the first time in several years, the Class of 2027 members will carry the band sponsor signs in the parade,” shared Redding.
Those who wish to purchase ride
tickets early may obtain them from Boy Scout Troop 48, Yoder’s Country Market, Stauffer’s Drug Store, New Holland Church of the Nazarene, and the farm show building beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 30. Children who wish to enter the coloring contest may pick up pages at the ELANCO Library or find them online at www.newhollandfair.org.

inspirational, educational, and enjoyable. “(Participants) will learn the worship songs that they’re going to be leading in the concert, and they’re kids so they need to break up their time of rehearsals,” Wieand said. “In the middle of it, my husband (Matt), who is a science teacher at Martin Meylin Middle School, does the Bible devotions with science object lessons. Some things explode, and he maybe sets things on fire. There’s lots of excitement, and it really captures the kids’ attention, and they remember those things. When they’re going home, they’re sharing those stories with their families or their friends at school. It’s a way that they can share the Gospel without just telling something they experienced in a different way.”
Wieand’s aunts Janet Zeager and Joyce Speer also assist. “They’re using their gifts of loving on kids when they come in, they’re greeting them, welcoming them, and just helping them, especially the kindergartners,” Wieand said. “This is, for some of them, their first activity that they’ve been signed up for. We just find such joy in helping kids just feel excited to be here. We want the kids to grow confidence and not feel nervous by making it a relaxed environment.”
The choirs’ devotion series is called “Vibe Check.” “We can only be effec-
tive as Christians if we are constantly reflecting on how we are interacting and how we’re going about the day to day,” Wieand said. “Each week we’re going to focus on different things that help us to make sure our attitude is reflecting Christ. And it’s a good lesson for adults, so as we’re teaching it, it challenges us as well.”
Wieand is doing what she loves and loving what she does. “My life verse is 1 Peter 4:10, using whatever gifts the Lord has given you to serve others as good stewards of his grace in our lives,” she said. “The gifts that I have are teaching and music. That’s my background. I went to college and have my master’s in vocal performance, and I had a private vocal studio here in the community for 19 and a half years and just have a love for teaching.”
She continued, “I can see the importance of the adult Christians that were in my life beyond my family growing up and feel that that’s part of what the Lord’s design is for our kids is - to surround them with positive Christian influences to support families and to support them. I look back at some of my favorite music teachers at church and just think about how they really made an impact in my life and gave me confidence in pursuing and using gifts that the Lord gave.”
