Conferences For Ladies, Pastors Set In Wrightsville By Francine Fulton
Local women are invited to attend a one-day Ladies Conference on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Wrightsville Assembly of God, 365 Orange St., Wrightsville. The event is free and open to all women age 18 and over.

The first-time event will feature breakfast and talks by guest speaker Stephanie Randolph. Lunch will be provided. According to conference organizers, the goal of the event is for ladies to come together for a day of fellowship and spiritual refreshing. The theme of the conference, “Strength and Dignity,” comes from Proverbs 31:25, which states, “Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; and she smiles at the future (knowing that she and her family are prepared).” “That verse is the heart of the conference. It speaks about women using the words ‘strength’ and ‘dignity,’” said pastor Aaron McNatt. “We’ve never (hosted a women’s conference) before, but I think the women in our church are excited about it. I am hearing a lot of anticipation for it.”

It just means you have something that needs to be treated.” Lisa, who owns The Shack Restaurant & Mini Golf, 662 S. Oak St., Manheim, with her husband, Ray, believes that treatment for a mental health issue should not be viewed any differently than needing vision correction. “If you have an eye problem, you go to the doctor to get glasses,” she said. “I think kids need to hear that (connection) a lot. It makes it real.” Back in February, See Mini Golf pg 4

FIA Invites Public To Get Creative Friends In Action International (FIA) is looking for individuals to transform a variety of supplies into items to be sold at a fundraiser event on Saturday, Oct. 3. The event was inspired by the HGTV show “Flea Market Flip.” A local nonprofit, FIA uses infrastructure projects in remote locations of the globe as
a platform to share the Gospel with unreached indigenous people groups. Interested readers are invited to visit FIA’s Middletown headquarters, located at 3950 E. Harrisburg Pike, by appointment to select free supplies. They may browse items left over from construction projects as well as donated yard sale items. These supplies include chairs, tables, bicycles, small furniture, books, mechanical items, and household items. With materials secured, participants can work at home using their eye for style and some elbow grease to turn these leftovers into something new. See FIA pg 5
