Church Invites Community To Fall Celebration By Ann Mead Ash

Weaverland Anabaptist Faith Community has held a trick-or-treat alternative for more than a decade. According to Shannon Martin, one of the organizers of the upcoming Fall Celebration, the outreach is a natural extension of the church’s mission. “As a church, we are always looking for a way to serve and better our community,” said Martin. “This event is just one way we can do that.” This year’s Fall Celebration will be held at the church, 210 Weaverland Valley Road, East Earl, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31. The event will include a variety of activities for young children, middle-schoolers, and teenagers, as well as adults. Children’s games and activities that will be available inside the church will include cornhole, a football toss game, a

duck pond, a golf putt game, and a lollipop toss, along with face painting. “Our (game) prizes will include a variety of small toys, glow sticks, erasers, lollipops, stickers, and super balls,” said Martin. Outside the church, a bounce rush obstacle course and bounce castle will be set up. “The bounce rush obstacle course was very popular last year, especially with the older children,” recalled Martin. “The younger ones really enjoyed the bounce castle.” Other activities will include a hayride and a corn dig. Three campfires will be burning, and music will be played. Free food available outside will include hot dogs, french fries, soft pretzels, chocolate chip cookies, popcorn, ice cream, candy, snack items, and hot and cold beverages. Martin noted that the Auntie Anne’s soft pretzels are one of the most popular items among those served each year. See Fall Celebration pg 8

The ELANCO Library board of trustees is looking for a few good members. Currently, the board, which calls for nine participants, stands at eight and will be down to seven at the end of the year. The library, which is located at 11 Chestnut Drive, New Holland, serves the children, teenagers, and adults of the ELANCO area. According to board member Hallie Martyniuk, area residents from a variety of backgrounds are welcome to apply. “We are looking for diversity,” said Martyniuk. “We would embrace seniors (who want to volunteer) and younger people. We need people who bring different skills and talents.” Board member Jim Costello explained the term requirements for ELANCO. “Members have three-year terms, so we are looking for folks willing to serve at least three years,” he said, noting that the term limit is two See Library pg 5
