SALT Proves Friendship Has No Age Limit BY CAT SHANNON

Are we ever too old to make new friends? Absolutely not, say the senior citizens who gather on Tuesday mornings for SALT (Seniors Are Living Treasures). The group meets for fun, friendship and fellowship from 9 a.m. to noon weekly at Mount Joy Church of God, 30 E. Main St., Mount Joy. “We might have anywhere from 25 to 30 people each week,” said Tracy Miller, who coordinates the group with a team of volunteers. R124382

Home Is Where Servant Stage’s Heart Is BY JEFF FALK

Everybody deserves a place to call their own. Everybody needs a home. Servant Stage’s new home is also the nonprofit’s first. Not only are Servant Stage’s new digs a product of growth, the location is also a space where it can continue to grow. “It’s almost hard to put into words,” said Johnathan Bauer, the founder and executive director of Servant Stage. “It hits every once in a while. This is a home. Like, ‘Wow, this is for real.’ It hasn’t fully sunk in yet. There are a lot of firsts in this place that are really special.” Following 12 years of serving the Lancaster County community through theater and the performing arts, Servant Stage moved into its new headquarters at 1842 William Penn Way, Lancaster, in East Lampeter Township in October. Up until that point, Servant Stage had been doing the best it could with what it had, while the mission around it was flourishing. “It’s so nice to have our own space,” said Bauer. “It’s fun every day. It’s nice to be able to have a conversation and not have to reply to an email. Having no space for so many years, you get used to it. A lot of it was working from home. We were storing sets and props in basements, garages and barns. Efficiency is a huge part of what we do. We were doing so many shows that it wasn’t sustainable.” Servant Stage’s new home base is eight rooms and 8,500 square feet in size, 5,000 of which is dedicated to a workshop, warehouse and storage space and 3,500 of which is being used as offices and for conferences and meetings.

SALT from pg 1 “We have people in their 50s and up. Our oldest member is 93.” Each meeting beg ins with people gathering up to 30 minutes early in the church lobby, enjoying the time to catch up with each other before heading into the chapel for coffee, food and games such as Uno or Apples to Apples. Coordinator Debbie Cohn might lead the group in chair yoga, or coordinator Renee Haney might direct a small group in devotionals or take prayer requests. Coordinator Nancy Shonk is in charge of the snack calendar, ensuring that ever yone who wants to bring food has a chance to do so. The group does some activities once a month, such as playing bingo or enjoying a movie together. They also play round-robin matches of games like cornhole or ladderball, switching tables regularly to encourage interaction among everyone. The group also brings in guest speakers to discuss a wide range of topics. Once a quarter, the church’s pastor, Richard Vaughn, provides a full

breakfast for the group. Although SALT meets at the church, religious affiliation is not a requirement to join the group. “I t ’s just a ministr y through our church,” Miller said. “We will take anybody who is interested in coming. Some people come week after week. Some people have other activities they’re involved in and can only come once a month, and that’s OK.” Many of the members have lost a spouse and are looking for connection and companionship. That’s the case for Connie Bear, who started coming to SALT when the ministry began in October of 2024. “ Today is three years since I lost my husband,” she said on a recent Tuesday morning. “In my marriage, I didn’t have friends really beyond my husband, so I was looking for somewhere to go to have fellowship and make new friends. I was looking for companionship.” She found that at SALT. “Ever ybody is so nice here,” she said. “We love each other. There are so many wonderful people here, and you feel like a family. I now have lots of friends to do things with, and we meet up outside of these mornings. We talk to each other outside of these meetings.” Fellowship is the focus of SALT meetings, although the food is a close second,

the members joke. “Ever yone pitches in, and it’s wonderful,” Shonk said. “This room is filled with people who have found connection with each other.” SALT began when Miller recr uited a few of her friends to help form the ministry. Seventeen people showed up for the first meeting, and the group has grown to include members from across L ancaster County. “ T here isn’t a senior center in the Mount Joy/ Manheim area, and while we don’t want to be a senior center, we do want to provide outreach ministry,” Miller said. “We want to provide connection and fellowship.” W hile SALT officially meets once a week, its members get to gether regularly outside of the program, including meeting up for wing night at Beanie’s in Mount Joy or driving each other to doctor appointments. They also support each other through tough times. When Renee’s husband, Dou g , pass e d away in August, SALT members showed up for her. “Eighteen people from here came to my husband’s funeral, and most had never met him,” she said. “We take care of each other. A lot of the people who come have said how lonely they were before this. Now they look forward to this. I

can’t imagine a week going by without coming to this.” For member Mae Pierce, S A LT has provided an opportunity to push herself outside of her comfort zone. “I needed to challenge myself to get out of the house,” she said. “SALT stands for Seniors Are Living Treasures, but this salt is the flavor that’s now part of my life. It’s gone beyond what it was supposed to be. I have met so many awesome friends. I go to the grocery story or a craft fair, and someone will yell out, ‘Mae!’ It’s so nice to have made so many connections.” “There’s fun stuff to do here. You’ll meet some characters, meet some sweet people and make some new friends,” Pierce continued. “It’s a community. You don’t have to be alone for that one morning a week.” SALT is open to anybody who is interested in attending, and people can just show up on a Tuesday morning; they do not need to register. The ministry is held year-round. People may park on the street and enter the church off of Main Street or access the building without climbing steps through the East Henry Street entrance via a parking lot at the rear of the church.

is on service,” said Bauer, a resident of Strasburg. “The idea of using the performing arts and theater to serve the community, that’s been the mission from the very beginning and that’s why we chose that name. We love theater and the community, and there’s both a why and a how behind it.” “ With our mission of bringing shows into the community, we’ve been nomadic,” continued Bauer. “Everyone on the team is very flexible and good at problem-solving. We’ve been able to make it grow so much, but we’ve grown so much. The amount of programming we’re doing is growing, and our staff is growing. You need a space for it. It’s definitely long overdue.” Servant Stage is projecting to present 20 productions for both adults and youths with more than 220 total performances in 2026.

The space can also accommodate smaller auditions and rehearsals for the more than 15 productions and 190 performances that the organization has been staging each year. “We have been looking and actively explor ing spaces for a workshop and theater for like six or seven years now,” said Bauer. “Back in May, we came across this place in Greenfield, and our Realtor connected us with the landlord. We knew from the very first visit that it checked all of the boxes. The lease was signed in a month or so. This kind of fell into our lap.” Prior to its recent move, Servant Stage was practicing and rehearsing for performances at Lancaster Alliance Church, at 210 Pitney Road, Lancaster, n o t f a r f ro m i t s n e w home.

Students from pg 1 community. The awards were presented by Bridgeman and Gail Viscome of EACTC. “We’ve been working in Elizabethtown since 1999 - 26 years of providing positive programs to help our students build positive life skills in collaboration with the school and in the community,” Viscome told the assembly. “Do the Right Thing is a national award. This award is much deeper than grades or accomplishments. This really honors students who choose to do the right thing, when no one is watching. Whether it’s showing kindness or helping a classmate or taking responsibility, these students remind us that character really matters.” Middle school students honored at the ceremony were Peter Seprinski, Gavin Glick, Cassidy Garlock and Eli Carter. Pe t e r s t o p p e d w h a t he was doing to help a classmate at another table repack papers he’d accidentally spilled from his binder, a small act of kindness that a teacher recognized. Gavin found a set of expensive headphones a student had lost and returned them to their rightful owner. Cassidy was nominated by two different teachers. She noticed a fellow student in

distress during lunch and alerted the teachers on cafeteria duty so the student received the help needed, and she also stepped up to help another student who was experiencing a mental health issue. Eli, also nominated by two different teachers, notified his bus driver that a student was having a seizure on the bus, keeping other students away from the scene while the driver got help. At the high school, students honored were Zoey Seigman, Trent Kauffman, Riley Logan, Olivia McCoy, A l i c i a P r u i t t , M a re l i z A r e n a s , A b b y B r o s e y, Landon Harnish and Hunter Mateer. Zoey was recognized for be fr iending a new student, inviting the student to sit next to her and demonstrating kindness and positivity. Trent was honored for his kindness to the special needs students in his class, keeping them calm and explaining things to the students if they get confused or upset. Riley was recognized for arriving at school early, often holding the door for staff members and students while also engaging in positive conversation. Olivia has been an asset to the Unified PE class, helping multiple Life Skills students and

demonstrating patience and encouragement. Alicia, a student in the Advanced Health Careers program at the Lancaster County Career and Technolog y Center, aler ted staff members that a newly admitted ICU patient had begun to seize and was losing her airway. Her quick thinking allowed the team to respond rapidly and stabilize the patient. Mareliz and Abby were honored for routinely helping a teacher in the library, giving up their study hall time to do so. Landon was recognized for consistently picking up trash in the cafeteria left behind by other students, positively interacting with adults at the school and volunteering his time for projects such as UNICEF. Hunter went out of his way to help teachers troubleshoot a non-working radio, taking time away from eating his lunch to ensure staff members could communicate effectively with each other and the school office. Middle school principal David Beard addressed the crowd after the students received their awards. “One of my biggest pet peeves is apathy,” he said. “Every single act they talked about today is doing the opposite of apathy.

Thank you for embodying the kind of citizens we’d like to live around and work with in the future.”
