Sweat, Strength and Sisterhood
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Before the sun is fully up on Saturday mornings, women gather behind Columbia Christian Fellowship to flip tires, drag ropes and push themselves through grueling outdoor workouts. Minutes later, sweaty and exhausted, they sit around a campfire sharing stories about faith, struggles and life.
For the women of Chromium Tribe, the challenge is the point. The group combines physical fitness with spiritual encouragement, creating a space where women can grow stronger together, both mentally and spiritually.
Saying Goodbye to “Olde Salem”
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
If the walls of Historic Salem United Church of Christ could talk, what would they say? Would they recall when the first German-speaking people gathered in the building for worship in 1803? Would they remember when the cornerstone of the present building at 324 Walnut St. was laid in 1860? Or would they celebrate the day the first woman was elected to the church council in 1949?

in Columbia since late February as part of Women’s Alliance, a national outdoor ministry. Every Saturday morning begins with what Laura Feliciano describes as a “rugged workout.”
“We meet outdoors, so we try to do things you don’t do in a gym,” said Feliciano, who oversees multiple tribes in Pennsylvania and Maryland. “We strive to do our workouts so they’re harder than
See Sisterhood pg 2
As Columbia’s oldest church, Salem UCC has impacted generations of people who came together to celebrate their Christian faith in an open and affirming space. But all good things must come to an end, and on May 24, the churchaffectionately known as “Olde Salem” - held its last service.
“This church has meant so much to this community over the years,” said pastor Mark Harris. “I have no doubt that there will be an empty space in the community now.”
The decision to close was not made lightly, said Robert “Scott” Bollinger, who serves on the church council. The Keystone Conference UCC began suggesting closure even before Harris was hired almost a decade ago.
The program will run from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on weekdays from Monday, June 8, through Friday, Aug. 14, in the church’s fellowship hall at the back of the church, 205 N. Second St., Wrightsville.
“When we learned that one
The conference was concerned about the turnover of ministers and the dwindling membership, but the congregation was determined to stay the course. The members provided materials showing the church’s activity in the community and completed a program organized by the conference to strengthen the church.

the strongest person in the tribe.”
A typical session might include flipping heavy tires, doing rounds of burpees or even pulling vehicles with ropes.
“No one grows in their comfort zone,” Feliciano said. “It’s you against yourself, and when you’re doing this really hard workout, all kinds of amazing things happen. You sweat. You push yourself, and then you come out of that thinking, ‘Wow. I did that.’ But I did not struggle alone, because I did that with my tribe.”
After the workoutguided by the unofficial motto “Don’t die. Modify.” - the women gather around a fire for devotionals and personal testimony.
“There’s a sense of vulnerability when you’re cooling down after a good
workout, sharing with each other,” Feliciano said.
Chromium Tribe grew out of interest from local women who had participated in other area tribes. Leaders Erin Hinkle and Shannon Rote were members of Neon Tribe in Eastern York before helping launch the Columbia group. Another local chapter, YH_ WH Tribe, meets at LCBC Manheim.
While each chapter operates independently, Feliciano said the groups support one another whenever needed.
“We think of ourselves as one tribe, all together,” she said. “If one tribe needs help in our area, another tribe will go and support.”
The name “Chromium” was selected from the periodic table of elements, following the tradition of
Women’s Alliance tribes.
The women chose it because chromium is a hard, corrosion-resistant metal, qualities they felt reflected their faith journeys and strength in Christ.
Women age 13 and older are welcome to participate. After attending three meetings, members receive a personalized call sign during a ceremony that includes reciting Esther 4:14 while standing on a tire.
and real. Seeing women who just want nothing more than to see you succeed and thrive and be the best leader, daughter and friend that Christ created you to be - there’s nothing better.”
Alison Hanson, known in the tribe as “Gem,” admitted joining pushed her far outside her comfort zone. Encouraged by her husband, a member of Men’s Alliance, she decided to attend one meeting with no intention of returning.
“Then you give your testimony about yourself, what led you here, and the other women around you shout out different options for your call sign before the tribe votes,” said Hinkle, whose call sign is “Pathway.”
The nicknames are intentionally lighthearted and memorable.
“It has to be something you can call out in Walmart,” Hinkle said with a laugh.
For Rote, whose call sign is “Spur,” the tribe has become a source of confidence and accountability.
“One of the biggest things for me is what’s said around the fire stays around the fire,” she said.
“Our devotionals are raw
“I told myself, ‘I’m coming out one time, and when I don’t like it, I’ll tell my husband I didn’t like it and I won’t go back,’” Hanson said.
Instead, she quickly found connection among women of different ages, backgrounds and levels of faith.
“There are so many different people from so many different walks of life,” Hanson said. “That was a big thing for me.”
The tribes emphasize growth and service. After receiving a call sign, women can earn a coin similar to a challenge coin and later a patch signifying they are ambassadors for Christ.

Gardens and History Bloom in Marietta
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Buy a ticket for the Marietta Garden Tour and discover a unique tribute to America: a pool shaped like the Liberty Bell. It’s among the unusual and inspiring sights featured on the tour, set for Sunday, June 7, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The tour will highlight eight stops in and around Marietta, including private homes; a bed and breakfast; and a site on Donegal Place at Furnace Road, where the Musselman/Vesta Furnace was built in 1868.
The building and grounds used to be managed by Lancaster County, but the site was recently transferred to Marietta, making it an ideal spot to showcase on the tour, said tour organizer Karen Sullivan.
Volunteers with Marietta Restoration Associations and Rivertownes PA USA have restored the office, which displays various artifacts. Tourgoers can also stroll through shaded gardens and view the ruins of the last of eight anthracite-fired hot blast furnaces built between Marietta and Columbia.
“Across the street used to be an open field, but now it’s been seeded with wildflowers,” Sullivan said. “I can’t guarantee they’ll be blooming at that time, but they are beautiful when they do bloom, and people can visit there any time. We have suggested for the tour that people walk down
to the Susquehanna River. You can see Chickies Rock and the two bridges from there.”
Several of the stops on the garden tour have never been featured before, including a home at 609 W. Market St. This site features native plants, edible herbs and berries and a rock garden with numerous varieties of Japanese maple trees. Other homes feature color hydrangeas, majestic mature trees, flowering plants and numerous types of roses.
The home with the Liberty Bell pool, located at 81 N. Bank St., is a Georgian farmhouse that was built in 1764.
“It’s one of the oldest buildings in
Marietta, if not the oldest,” Sullivan said. The garden features elm and black walnut trees and an outhouse repurposed as a garden shed.
Along with the gardens, the tour will feature two seminars at the Marietta Community House, 264 W. Market St. Members of the Susquehanna Herb Guild will lead programs on “Herbs and Their Many Uses” at 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. The cost of the seminars is included in the tour ticket price.
The Marietta Community House will also host a pork barbecue meal, featuring a sandwich, chips, baked beans, a cookie and a drink. Meals will be sold on a first-come, firstserved basis, and Sullivan recommends coming early, as the meals always sell out.
First National Coffee and Coworking, located at 100 W. Market St. inside a historic bank, will be open See Gardens pg 5

Wright Home Added to Network to Freedom
The anti-slavery work that Quakers William and Deborah Parrish Wright carried out for decades during the 19th century at their home in Columbia has been recognized by the National Park Service. The privately-owned property is now designated as a site on the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.
beginning of the end for us,” Bollinger said. “About two years ago, I came to council and said, ‘We’ve got to put an end date on this.’ We were determined to get pastor Mark ordained so he could look for another job.”
Harris was ordained in early May and is in the process of determining his next steps with his family, looking for positions as far away as North Carolina and Vermont.
Hilary Smith, who serves as the council treasurer, emphasized that closing the church had nothing to do with financial concerns.
“We’ve been good stewards of our money,” she said. “We have really generous members, and since I’ve been treasurer, over 12 years, we’ve never had to take out a loan.”
But dwindling membership hurt, and an aging congregation didn’t see much of a future for the church.
“Since I’ve been here, most of the same people have been on the church council and have done the bulk of the day-to-day work of the church, which gets wearing after nine years,” Harris said. “Generally, you serve for two or three years, and then someone else takes over and you get a break. Nobody here has gotten a break in quite a long time.”
With under 100 members
on the books and only a dozen or so who actively attend, Salem had become too small to survive. The church is in talks with merging its congregation with Trinity Reformed UCC in Mountville, which happens to be a church plant from Salem UCC.
Keystone Conference will sell the building after the members clean out what they’re keeping, which could take months.
Choosing to hold its last service on Pentecost - the “birthday” of the churchwas intentional, said council member Karen James, who added, “It’s a season of new beginnings.”
The church members wanted to go out on their own terms, taking an active role in how the church wraps up centuries of service.
Smith grew up in the church alongside her sister, Julie Bigler, who also serves on the council.
“I never felt like I didn’t belong here,” Smith said. “I did visit some other churches when my girls were younger, but I came back. When you’re a lifelong member of a church, it’s difficult to go somewhere else.”
Bigler recalled that some of her favorite memories at Salem include Advent Family Nights, when the members would decorate the church and sing Christmas carols.
“I always felt like this church was my home away from home,” she said. “I was thankful to my parents for raising me up in a church.”
That’s a feeling echoed by James, who adds, “This church is just something else. I’ve been to other churches that didn’t have quite the same feel. This church is home.”
Member Peggy Rupp, who has attended for 67 years, recalled relying on her church family when she faced personal trials.
“The people of Salem were here for me,” she said.
Over the years, the church has hosted numerous community groups, including Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, Narcotics Anonymous and Homes of Hope. Before the Columbia Dream Center opened, Salem served as a winter shelter with other local churches.
It once had a very active Sunday school for people of all ages, held a holiday bazaar for more than 30 years and organized ice cream socials and potpie dinners.
Now those events will be memories, Bollinger said.
“I look at the people here, and I’ve known these people for a long, long time,” he said. “It’s going to be very hard to say goodbye.”
Serving at Salem became Harris’ first job since finishing seminary, and he credits the experience with teaching him about servant leadership and community.
“What I hope people remember about Salem is how long it’s survived past people’s expectations, and how much of an impact it’s made on the time that it’s been here,” he said. “This church has been deeply meaningful for the people of Columbia.”
The application for the home’s inclusion in the Network to Freedom was prepared by Lancaster historian Randolph Harris and submitted in January by Harris and fellow representatives of the Underground Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. The private, nonprofit organization plans to create a 10,000-square-foot interactive facility that will combine the rehabilitation of an existing historic building on Locust Street with a newly constructed wing. With a mission to educate travelers and local people alike, and to continue researching the heritage of the Underground Railroad across the commonwealth, the museum is projected to open to visitors in 2029 or 2030 with a cost in excess of $20 million.
The William and Deborah Wright Home, on South Second Street, was built in 1795 and was a key property in a chain of safe houses that formed along Pennsylvania’s southeastern border counties during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The network extended west into Adams and Franklin counties and east to the counties of Chester and Delaware, and to Philadelphia. It began with William and Deborah, along with William’s sister Susanna and her husband, Jonathan Mifflin, who lived on a farm in York County. Both families harbored formerly enslaved people in their homes. They also transported freedom seekers in ingenious ways and took legal action to challenge enslavers in their community. The Wright family opened its nearby croplands and orchards to settlement by freedom seekers, beginning around 1820, establishing the core of Columbia’s free black population and a place of refuge for later arrivals.
The Wrights also worked secretly with William Whipper and Stephen Smith, Columbia’s wealthy black lumber merchants, who used their private railroad cars to transport freedom seekers. The influential extended Wright family in Columbia came to the

aid of Smith when racist mobs looted and burned his business office during riots during the summer of 1834.
The William and Deborah Wright Home is a private residence owned by Sarah and Mark Stewart, who purchased the property in the spring of 2021. They moved to Columbia after raising their children in a historic home in Monmouth County, New Jersey. The Stewarts are just the sixth family to own the house.
Mark, a nonfiction author and editor, has museum experience, and after settling in Columbia, he helped to reconstitute the development group for the Underground Railroad museum, plans for which had been derailed by the
pandemic. In 2023, he joined the board of the museum.
Lancaster and York counties boast a variety of sites in the Network to Freedom, including the Jonathan and Susanna Mifflin farm and home in Hellam Township, York County; the ruins of the Columbia and Wrightsville Bridge across the Susquehanna River; and the remains of the Pennsylvania Canal on the riverfront in Columbia Borough. The Mifflin farm is a project of the Susquehanna National Heritage Area, a collaborator and supporter of the proposed Underground Railroad museum.

for a tour rest stop, and people are invited to enjoy refreshments at Mulberry Thrill, located at the rear of the building. Proceeds from the tour benefit the preservation of the Marietta Community House, which includes two buildings and hosts a variety of events at the site.
Sullivan noted that the garden tour requires support from a large committee of volunteers who serve on the Community House board.
“I’d like to express my thanks and gratitude for their help,” she said. “It takes a team to do all of this.”
She encourages people to come to the garden tour to see the creativity of Marietta residents and walk away inspired.
“It’s great for getting ideas for your own yard,” she said. “I think most people who come like the tour for that reason, but there’s also the historic nature of Marietta itself and the houses on the tour - that’s a big draw.”
Advance tickets are available for a discount until 5 p.m. on Friday, June 5. They may be purchased at Mulberry Thrill; Floral Designs of Mount Joy, 1599 W. Main St., Mount Joy; River Road Produce, 1835 River Road, Marietta; and Murphy’s Mercantile and Co., 261 Locust St., Columbia.
Full-price tickets will be available at the Marietta Community House on the day of the event. The tour will be held rain or shine.
Sisterhood
Members are also encouraged to volunteer by leading workouts, tending the fire or presenting devotionals.
“This is all volunteer ministry work,” Feliciano said. “We do it for the love of God. Every little piece of everything we do is to meet something that was missing inside us.”
The women gather outdoors year-round, regardless of the weather, and encourage newcomers to

simply show up.
“This ministry is not just for believers,” Feliciano said. “We encourage anyone who does not have a community, anyone looking for friends, to join us.
Whatever part of life you’re in, you need a community and a tribe. You need a safe space around the fire.”

in three kids in Eastern York School District is on a free- or reduced-price lunch during the school year, we knew we could fill that gap over the summer,” said Alicia Ferrari, outreach coordinator for Wrightsville Presbyterian Church. “It started with a dream, a few passionate people, and turned into a reality with the help of our amazing community.”
This is the third summer for the program, which provides daily lunch meals for school-age children in Wrightsville and Eastern York School District. Registration is not required; children can just show up any day for lunch.
The program is completely funded by community members, Ferrari said, adding that the church is looking for Monday meal sponsors. If no sponsors are found, the church will provide Monday lunches. Tuesday and Thursday meals will be brown bag lunches meant for takeout.
“Grandview Church York and Remax Pinnacle: The Bridge Team are currently hosting food drives to fill these bags,” Ferrari remarked. “Wednesday’s hot meals are prepared and provided by John Wright Restaurant and include some of the kids’ favorite options, like chicken fingers and fries, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken alfredo pasta and walking tacos. Fridays, we serve Marcello’s Pizza - Wrightsville.”
She said by the end of last summer the program was serving about 45 meals a day.
“We make sure to offer fresh, local produce every day alongside meals, including salads, fresh fruits and vegetables,” she stated. “We even pick kale and spinach from our garden at the church and make smoothies for the kids. The kids love a kale smoothie, can you believe it?”
Tuesday and Thursday meals
PUBLIC AUCTION
are available to go, with dine-in only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
“We offer activities for the kids, crafts, etc.,” Ferrari said. “The program is very much ‘drop-in’ style, no timeline activities. Some kids just come to socialize, some come to eat and then leave, some stay the whole time.”
Ferrari coordinates the program along with pastor Jesse North.
“This year, we have hired Jessica Ruth to run the daily operations at Summer Lunch,” Ferrari said, noting that Jessica works at a local school during the year and many of the kids already know her from that or from her ice cream truck, called Get Creamed Soft Serve, that she operates during the warmer months.
“I wanted to be a part of the Summer Lunch Program because I care deeply about supporting children and families in my community,” Ruth said. “As a math interventionist, I already work closely with students during the school year, and since I’m off during the summer, this is a meaningful way to continue helping students in a positive and supportive environment.”
Ferrari hopes any child who wants lunch will come out for the program, and she encourages community members to support the initiative.
“This program is funded 100% by our community,” she said. “We accept donations online at www.wpcpa.org. Donations are tax deductible. Our fundraising goal this year is $14,000. We accept in-kind donations of single-serve snacks and drinks. We accept perishable donations during the program as well.”
Concert Set at Library
Phredd - Ukulele One Man Band will perform at Kreutz Creek Library, 66 Walnut Springs Road, Hallam, on Friday, June 12, at 10:30 a.m.
Phredd’s performance is part of the annual SummerQuest program, which provides learning opportunities, entertainment, and activities for people of all ages. There is no cost to attend the show.
