A chance to power up
Faith-based sports camps scheduled
A supportive environment
BY ANN MEAD ASH
BASIS stands for Brothers And Sisters In Support. The ministry, which serves bereaved parents and grandparents, holds a number of area support groups, but once a year a special breakfast is held to give participants from around Lancaster County and others in the surrounding area who have experienced the loss of a child a chance to meet in a supportive environment.
The 2025 BASIS Breakfast will be held at Yoder’s Restaurant & Buffet, 14 S. Tower Road, New Holland, on Saturday, April 26,
from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The buffet breakfast is free to attend. A freewill offering will be received near the end of the event. Those wishing to attend the breakfast must register by Monday, April 21, at www.hvmi.org/upcoming-events/ basis-breakfast.
This year’s speaker will be Lynn Eib, whose talk is titled “The Truth About Grief.” Eib’s life as an award-winning reporter was interrupted by a cancer diagnosis in 1990 when she was only 36 years old. Her experience with surgery and chemotherapy inspired her to follow God’s call to begin the

When young people ages 8 to 12 who attend Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Power Camp asked for more sports to be offered at camp, area representatives Diana Roth, Kyle Martin, and Emily Johnson responded. This year, the New Holland camp will offer
baseball and track and field in addition to five other sports, and the Manheim camp will offer lacrosse, in addition to six other sports.
The New Holland Power Camp will be held at Petra Church, 565 Airport Road, New Holland, from Monday, June 16, to Thursday, June 19. The Manheim Power Camp will be held at Manheim
Brethren in Christ Church, 54 N. Penryn Road, Manheim, from Monday, July 14, through Thursday, July 17.
Roth said that the theme for this year’s camps is “Glory,” based on II Corinthians 3:18. The faith-based curriculum will focus on the question “What are you chasing?” by examining the quest for individual glory versus reflecting God’s glory. In addition to baseball and track and field, the New Holland camp will offer basketball, field hockey, flag football, lacrosse, and soccer. Roth and Martin are the camp directors. The Manheim camp, which is directed by Johnson, will offer baseball, basketball, field hockey, soccer, volleyball, and wrestling, in addition to lacrosse. Camps begin at 9 a.m. each day and run until 3:30 p.m. Lunch is provided. Each day has a different dress-up theme. Although the themes for this year’s camps have not been chosen, Roth noted

A place for seniors
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Long before there was a Terre Hill Area Senior Connections group, there was a group of members of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church (UMC), 105 W. Main St., Terre Hill, who read a book called “Dream Like Jesus.”
Led by pastor Dave Kling, the Dream Team, as the group came to be known, began musing about what the congregation could offer to the ELANCO area. “We started talking about this in June of 2023,” recalled Kling, who noted originally the process was supposed to take 15 months.

Library posts activities
The Eastern Lancaster County (ELANCO) Library, 11 Chestnut Drive, New Holland, will offer a variety of events and programs to the community. Registration is not required unless noted. For details, visit www.elancolibrary.org or contact 717-354-0525 or adagostino@elancolibrary. org.
The library offers various activities regularly. In April, these will include Music and Movement, for kids birth to age 6 with a parent or other caregiver on Mondays at 10:30 a.m.; Readers’ Roundtable Book Discussion on Monday, April 7, at 2 p.m.; Hooks and Needles Yarn Craft Club, for people of all ages who knit or crochet, on Monday, April 14, at 6:30 p.m.; and Lego Creation Club on Thursday, April 10, at 6 p.m.
teens. The upcoming dates and themes are April 8, STEM Lego Day; April 15, Research Day (Endangered Species); April 22, Social Issues (Energy Crisis); and April 29, Common Myths and Misconceptions Trivia. Tech Tips for Seniors will be available on Saturday, April 5, at 11 a.m. Community members may bring a cell phone, tablet, or laptop to the library to receive assistance with technical problems. They

The library will also offer Preschool Story Time, recommended for children ages 4 to 6, every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. and Toddler Thursdays, recommended for children from birth to age 3, every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. The April theme will be “Trees, Flowers, and Plants.” Siblings are welcome to join in.
Teen Tuesdays will be held on Tuesdays at 3:30 p.m. The program will provide crafts, games, snacks, and more for tweens and
that Wacky Wednesday is always a favorite. Each day begins with worship featuring a worship band and a speaker, usually a local pastor, who speaks on the camp theme. “The speaker at the New Holland camp will be Petra pastor Brian Coles,” reported Martin. The campers enjoy some Dance Dance Revolution time before heading outside for up to 90 minutes of skill work in their chosen sport. Following lunch, a testimony is given by a high school student or college intern. Afterward, campers practice and have more huddle time before taking part in a group competition, enjoying a snack, and joining in a closing assembly.
Volunteer coaches who work with the children are often high school, college,
or club coaches, and many serve for both weeks. Interns assist the directors and coaches. According to Roth, interns who have helped out at camp previously “know the drill,” so they will be given more leadership responsibility. “They will lead debrief time at the end of each day and be in charge of group competitions and games,” explained Martin. Huddles, groups of five to seven students, are overseen by a huddle leader. Huddle leaders are high school students who lead, guide, and encourage campers. About 50 huddle leaders are needed for a camp of 120 to 150 students, which is the number expected at both camps this year.
Student participants are also given the chance to take part in Coins for Campers, a
Shoes & Boots For The Whole
competition between boys and girls to raise funds for similar camps in the Philippines and Myanmar. Martin stated that in 2024, the goal was to raise $5,000 for the other camps and that the goal was surpassed. There is a cost to attend camps. A sibling discount is applied when more than one child from a family attends. Some financial assistance is available. Readers who wish to register a child for camp may visit www.lancasterfca. org/camps. Questions about financial assistance may be emailed to droth@fca.org. Specific questions about the Manheim camp may be sent to emilyjohnson@fca.org.

“We prayed about it,” added Dream Team member Joyce Snader. Snader and Kling noted that talking to representatives of area businesses and community stakeholders, including the mayor and the district justice, was among the group’s efforts.
“We did all sorts of surveys,” stated Kling. “The idea was to see what the needs in the community were, and what we discovered is there were no services for seniors.” The group learned that there was a senior center in Lititz, but none in ELANCO or Conestoga Valley. Both Kling and Snader credited Dream Team member Michael Nutter with suggesting that a senior center might be the best way to serve the community.
After Beth Coblentz
signed on as director of the center, the outreach opened in the church fellowship hall on Jan. 13. Currently, the center, which is affiliated with and funded by St. Paul’s UMC, is open each Monday and Thursday from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Independent area seniors age 60 and over who are capable of selfcare, are welcome to attend at no charge. Attendees are asked to complete a registration form and sign waivers. “I did an activity survey to find out what they’re interested in,” said Coblentz, who asks new attendees to complete that form. “We want activities they want.” The center follows the ELANCO School District weather schedule, so if school is delayed or closed, the center does not open. The center does not provide transportation.
Coblentz said that the dozen or more attendees, some of which come from as far away as Morgantown, start each morning at the center with coffee and conversation. Coblentz plans a variety of activities for the attendees, often based around seasonal themes, such as Valentine’s Day or St. Patrick’s Day, or topics such as birds. Coblentz has had representatives of local organizations such as Fivepointville Ambulance speak on relevant issues. A Medicare seminar has been held, along with a visit from Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, and a talk by a representative from Phoenix Assistance Dogs. Crafts are also popular. “Bingo has been a big hit,” said Coblentz, who noted that DJ Matt Cleveland from Occasions Disc Jockeys has visited to call

a musical version of the game. “We will have cooking on a quarterly basis,” noted Coblentz, who has also scheduled activities such as a talk on maple sugaring, a visit from Visiting Angels, ELANCO Library trivia, and chair exercises. Coblentz has also been in touch with CrossNet Ministries and the Northeastern Lancaster County Food Bank to set up community service projects for attendees to take part in.
In her position, Coblentz is looking to grow the center in ways participants will enjoy. “As a program director, my role is to ensure their safety and well-being and to plan and organize and supervise a variety of activities,” she said. “I’m making it their center, and everyone who has come so far has been thrilled.”
Snader noted that the group is aptly named. “It’s the connections (that are most important),” she shared, adding that the hour of talk and a cold breakfast is one of her favorite times. She noted that lots of games, such as checkers and dominos, are available to play.
“We hope to do outside things when weather improves,” said Coblentz, noting that the center is open year-round. Kling added that he hopes the attendance numbers will rise when seniors can travel without concerns about the weather.
More information about the center may be found by searching for “Terre Hill Area Senior Connections” on Facebook. Readers who have specific questions may call 717-488-3735 or email thascpa@gmail.com.
Fire company posts auction
Farmersville Fire Company, 74 E. Farmersville Road, Ephrata, will hold its 50th annual community auction on Friday, March 28. The event will begin at 4:30 p.m.
In addition to the auction, the event will offer food from the ladies’ auxiliary.
Cancer Prayer Support Group in 1991. The purpose of the group, now believed to be the country’s oldest faith-based organization of its kind, was to help grievers experience the closeness of the Lord to the brokenhearted. In April of 1996, Eib became a patient advocate for her oncologist, ministering to his patients for nearly 10 years. Eib calls herself a “passionate encourager, but always a truth-teller.” Eib is also the author of several books. Her first book, “When God & Cancer Meet,” has been published in three languages and sold more than 100,000 copies. Eib lives near Philadelphia with her husband, Ralph, who is a pastor.
Eib’s book “When God & Grief Meet: True Stories of Comfort & Courage,” pub -
lished in 2021, was given to Dan Steinman, BASIS director, by a fellow church member following the 2024 breakfast. Steinman quickly recognized how the content reflected the BASIS support group material. “I prayed about it,” recalled Steinman, who noted that the woman who gave him the book recommended Eib as an “excellent speaker.” “I trusted her judgment,” shared Steinman, who scheduled Eib for this year’s banquet.
Each year, a Wall of Remembrance, which was originally a portable photo display featuring pictures of the children who have died, is available at the breakfast.
Last year, the photos from the wall were shown on a screen, but this year Steinman hopes the wall will be available to attendees in a digital format.
“We give attendees plenty of time to converse (before and during breakfast),” said Steinman, who noted breakfast is served at 9:30 a.m. and enjoyed until 11 a.m. Eib will speak at 11, and after she speaks, attendees may ask questions.
Steinman noted that BASIS currently holds support groups within Lancaster County in Akron, Mount Joy, Paradise, and Quarryville. The ministry is considering expanding support to include siblings who are grieving, called Kids in Grief. The program may include grief caused by divorce, separation, and illnesses. A survey on the subject is currently available at www.hvmi.org/ sib-support-grief.
BASIS also produces quarterly podcasts on a variety of grief-related
topics, which can be found at www.hvmi.org/ hopeingrief.
Steinman pointed out that the purpose of the ministry is to be there for those experiencing loss of a loved one and that doing that in a variety of ways helps to spread comfort. “We just want to come beside people,” he said. “However we do that is good.”
