Bazaar Will Spread Our Lady of Lourdes’ Holiday Joy

But perhaps the most meaningful aspect of the event is that it is the church’s own.

“I’ve been a member for over 30 years,” said Karen Smith-Kernc, co-director of Our Lady of Lourdes holiday bazaar. “I’m extremely proud of the church, but I’m also proud of the people who go to this church. I’m very comfortable here, and I’m very committed to helping at the church. We want this particular effort to be successful because

Presents of presence. Judicious spending. Offerings of experiences and services.

Well-thought-out, alternative gifts.

Hope is a wonderful gift to both give and receive.

“Your money is your vote for the kind of world you want to live in,” said Jenn Knepper, the coordinator of the gift fair and the founder

of Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster. “At the gift fair, we focus on quality over quantity. There’s a hashtag that says, ‘Put your money where your heart is.’ It’s a good way to think about your spending habits, like giving gifts that have been repurposed. It’s thinking creatively and outside of the box.”

Aaron’s Acres is committed to providing support for families affected by disabilities. While Aaron’s Acres has a variety of resources at its disposal, the local nonprofit also has the wherewithal to access resources it doesn’t possess - resources that are available through organizations like the Lancaster Law Foundation.

“Aaron’s Acres recently received a grant that supports families in need of legal services as they plan for their children who have disabilities,” said Risa Paskoff, Aaron’s Acres’ executive director. “It was a great way to help families begin the challenging conversation of how to plan for their children’s futures, especially as the parents age. Lawyers gave of their time and met with our families for initial conversations. Funds from this grant are then available if families wish to continue the conversations with the attorneys.”

“The mission of the Lancaster Bar Association and the Lancaster Law Foundation is to advance justice in the community and enhance that feeling of community,” said Mackenzie Haines, the Lancaster Bar Association’s director of programs and community initiatives. “Fellowship and justice are just two of our core values, and they really sum up what we do. We want to be in the community helping people out.”

A philanthropic arm of the Lancaster Bar Association, the Lancaster Law Foundation conducted its Planning With a Purpose Clinic for families

LCCS’ Growth Inspired by Generous Donors

BY JEFF FALK

Like any institution, Lancaster County Christian School (LCCS) is only as good as its people. The faith-based private school is what it is today because of its students, its teachers, its administrators and its donors.

For that, LCCS has a lot to be grateful for.

“We have to teach ourselves and our children that not everything comes without a thank you,” said Sandy Outlar, who’s been LCCS’ community relations coordinator for 15 years. “We can never forget that we have a lot to be grateful for. No one should miss the small voice inside that says, ‘Thank you so much.’ That’s coming from deep in my heart.”

calling the school office at 717-556-0711.

“I think there’ll be this feeling of effervescence,” said Outlar. “I really believe people’s hearts will be inspired and humbled hearing from students, colleagues and business partners. I think it’s inspiring just knowing you’re part of something good, helping to train young lives to the betterment of God’s glory. It’s that feeling when colleagues appreciate colleagues.”

Nutritionally, LCCS’ Appreciation Breakfast will consist of eggs, bacon, potatoes, a variety of pastries, orange juice, apple juice and coffee. But on a more spiritual level, the event will explore the ways in which the donors and EITC program impact the development of the school’s students.

tion of schools like LCCS existing or even thriving,” Outlar continued. “We’d be trying to raise money to help families afford it in other ways.”

Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. PO Box 500, Mount Joy, PA 17552 TOWNLIVELY.COM

That financial support doesn’t necessarily keep LCCS’ doors open, but it does allow for more opportunities to experience the type of education that the school provides. A little more than half of LCCS’ 317 families receive tuition aid, partly made possible through the EITC program.

One of the things that LCCS has to be thankful for is the financial support it receives through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, which allows local businesses and individuals to direct up to 90% of their state tax obligation to schools. Those local businesses and individuals will be the focus of LCCS’ Appreciation Breakfast, which will be served from 7:30 to 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 21, in the school’s student life center, located at 2390 New Holland Pike, Lancaster.

About 75 people are expected to attend the breakfast, including 40 individuals or representatives of businesses that have supported or continue to support LCCS. The gathering will feature a keynote address titled “Building a Business While Being a Blessing in the Community” delivered by Ed Herr, the executive chairman of the board of Herr’s Foods and Snacks.

to-face thank you instead of a card,” said Outlar of the breakfast’s origin six years ago. “Each of (the donors) has a part in this educational institution. Now, we have more donors who are partners, and with the breakfast, we’re involving more students, students who are benefiting from the program.”

There are 535 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade currently enrolled at LCCS. The school employs 116 individuals, 64 of whom are faculty members.

LCCS was established through a merger of Lancaster Christian School and Living Word Academy in 2010.

“It plays a very significant role,” said Outlar. “There are many students who can’t afford a private education, and this legislation made it possible. It’s one of the bipartisan issues that legislators don’t argue about.”

The event is free to attend, but visitors are requested to register by

The breakfast will also include testimonials from representatives of Dutchway Farm Markets, Liberty Employment Solutions of Manheim and E.K. Bare & Sons of Bird-in-Hand.

LCCS head of school Nate Long will address the audience about the future of the school, and LCCS fourth-graders will offer songs of praise.

“I felt it was more important to have a face-

“We’ve come a long way in the last five years,” said Outlar. “I don’t believe we’re in competition in any way with other schools, except for in sports. We all deliver education differently. I think there’s a very healthy and valuable interaction with other schools.”

Throughout November, Dermatology Partners invites patients, team members and neighbors to join with it in collecting nonperishable food items and household essentials to benefit local food banks.

Anyone can help by dropping off items such as canned goods and ready-toeat meals, pasta and pasta sauce, rice, granola bars, peanut butter and cereal

to any Dermatology Partners location throughout November. Dermatology Partners’ clinic locations can be found at www.derm partners.com/locations.

Dermatology Partners will send all food donations to the following local food banks in Pennsylvania: Allentown Food Bank, Chester County Food Bank, Helping Harvest Food Bank, Lancaster Food Hub, Montgomery County Food Bank, Philabundance and Warminster Food Bank.

For more information about Dermatology Partners’ November food drive, visit www .dermpartners.com or call 888-818-3376.

Fire Company To Host Craft Show

Stevens Fire Company, 91 Stevens Road, Stevens, will host a Christmas craft show and holiday bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 29, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Attendees may browse holiday wreaths, woodcarving, crocheted items, flower arrange -

ments, wooden items, and more. Food will be available.

Admission is free. Spaces are still available for the craft show on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested individuals may call Sharon Hilton at 717-381-8561.

Our Lady of Lourdes

it’s

Local residents will be provided a good taste of Our Lady of Lourdes’ community spirit when the church hosts this year’s edition of its annual holiday bazaar from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, inside its spacious

gymnasium at 150 Water St., New Holland. Admission is free.

“We put on Christmas music, and it’s festive,” said Smith-Kernc. “The vendors are extremely talented, and we’ve got some interesting things. People can come and just look if they want to. But I’m guessing that when they do, they’re going to find things that they like.”

Our Lady of Lourdes’ holiday bazaar will feature creations from over 40 vendors - artists masquerading as crafters. Those vendors will display their merchandise in 10-by-10-foot spaces and sell their homemade and handmade items like wreaths, magnets, florals, paintings, jewelry, stained glass, Christmas trees, birdhouses and decorative animal figurines.

Smith-Kernc and fellow co-director Colleen Rooney are both contributing members of the bazaar’s vendor lineup.

“It’s really neat to meet new people and find out about how (the crafters) got started,” said Rooney. “You want people to remember the bazaar for the things they bought or sold there.”

“I do well at the bazaar

because my stained glass is unique,” said Smith-Kernc. “Each piece is made individually. But the best part of it for me is building relationships with other artists. I’m interested in what people are creating.”

The holiday bazaar will also showcase colorful quilts crafted by a group of local Amish women. Come hungry and enjoy hot and cold food offerings like chicken corn soup, sandwiches, brownies, cookies, potato chips and an assortment of beverages.

The bazaar will be graced by Santa Claus’ presence between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., and visitors will be treated to a demonstration of precision and inner strength by students from Fletcher’s Martial Arts Karate Studio at 11 a.m.

“There are a lot of people from the parish participating and helping,” said Smith-Kernc. “We just have a lot of people who raise their hands. They’re people who also love their parish.”

“Many hands make great help,” said Rooney.

Proceeds from the holiday bazaar will go toward resurfacing the church’s parking lot, a capital improvement project.

“There are cracks in it, and we

know it’s going to be expensive,” said Smith-Kernc. “It’s big, and we know we have to raise money for the future.”

The holiday bazaar has grown organically since its inception in 2023. Our Lady of Lourdes also reaches out to the community that surrounds it through a Christmas sing-along, a holiday angel tree, a winter clothing drive, a spaghetti dinner in the spring, an indoor/outdoor yard sale in the summer, a day of bingo at the local American Legion and a St. Patrick’s Day party.

“We have a number of things we do that are open to the local community,” said Smith-Kernc. “It’s a way to be of service. We think we’re called to do that.”

Home to nearly 1,200 member souls from 500 families, Our Lady of Lourdes was established in New Holland in 1919. The church moved to its current location in 1972.

“We’d love Our Lady of Lourdes to be seen the way we see it,” said Smith-Kernc, “as a warm and welcoming parish.”

A Women’s Concern Receives

Ultrasound Machine

A Woman’s Concern (AWC) recently received a new ultrasound machine, made possible through the generosity of the Knights of Columbus and the support of many donors. The fundraising campaign surpassed its goal, enabling AWC to also secure an extended warranty for the piece of equipment.

The Knights of Columbus provided the center’s first ultrasound machine in Pennsylvania 25 years ago.

Jill Hartman, executive director of AWC, emphasized that ultrasound technology plays an essential role in supporting women’s health. The new machine strengthens AWC’s mission to support both mothers and fathers facing unplanned pregnancies at no cost to them.

Knights of Columbus; Fr. Lawrence W. Sherdel, Knights chaplain; Jill Hartman, executive director of AWC; Jack Rosati, state program director of Knights; and Bill Childs, district deputy of Knights.

The organization’s men’s program complements this effort by reaching fathers, who often play a key role in pregnancy decisions.

A celebration and blessing of the ultrasound machine was held on Sept. 29.

HSCV Plans Christmas Open House

Guests will be welcomed into the 1868 Connell Mansion, which houses the Theodore R. Sprecher Museum, complete with three floors of exhibits featuring life in the Cocalico Valley. Attendees will experience the Victorian home decorated for the holidays.

served by Aaron’s Acres on Sept. 16 at Manor Church, 530 Central Manor Road, Lancaster. The three-hour event consisted of the Aaron’s Acres families meeting face-to-face and one-onone with local attorneys for 30 minutes to discuss the legal challenges that can arise when family members are disabled.

The attorneys’ work was performed on a pro bono basis.

“The main goal was to give families peace of mind,” said Haines. “Oftentimes, it can be a daunting conversation to start. We were so happy to pair with Aaron’s Acres to get it started.”

A total of 10 families dealing with disabilities attended the Planning With a Purpose Clinic, and half of those families decided to have further legal discussions with lawyers. Portions of the costs of those future consultations will be funded through the grant that Aaron’s Acres obtained from the Lancaster Law Foundation.

Among the legal issues discussed were guardianship, special needs trusts and financial and educational planning.

“Overall, it was a great meeting and a great environment,” said Haines. “Aaron’s Acres reached out to the foundation and told us they had families in need. The bar association asked attorneys to do the work pro bono, and they were happy to be there giving back.”

After Aaron’s Acres applied for the $3,000 grant, its request was reviewed and approved by a Lancaster Law Foundation committee.

Aaron’s Acres is headquartered at 1861 Charter Lane, Suite 114, Lancaster.

“We gave the grant to Aaron’s Acres for them to use at their discretion,” said Haines, “and that money covered some of the legal fees. (The legal clinic) spurred more conversations involving families’ futures. But for some, they weren’t quite ready to think about the future.”

The grant to Aaron’s Acres was one of seven that have been awarded to similar organizations by the Lancaster Law Foundation this year. Also receiving financial support were Lancaster city’s Bench Mark Program,

the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program, Church World Service, MidPenn Legal Services, Tenfold and Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center (PIRC).

The grants awarded to those seven organizations were valued at $53,445.

“The main goal of the grants is the same as the Lancaster Law Foundation’s, which is to promote equality and expand justice across Lancaster County,” said Haines. “You can see that the clinic fits into a lot of those categories.

The foundation’s executive board has a grant committee that collects grant requests, reviews them and makes decisions.”

The Lancaster Law Foundation was formed in 2002. Since 2020, the foundation has awarded $353,000 in grants.

“We’re well known in the legal community,” said Haines. “But outside of that, I don’t think people know about the work we’re doing. We’d like to do more, and anything we could do to expand in any way would be wonderful.”

Located at 28 E. Orange St., Lancaster, the Lancaster Bar Association

boasts nearly 800 members - lawyers, judges, legal professionals and law students.

“A lot of our lawyers are involved in the community,” said Haines. “Oftentimes, they’re looking to give back. They have so much expertise. Anytime they get a chance to go out into the community, they love that.”

Alternative Gifts

year’s edition of the in-person portion of the annual hybrid shopping event will be conducted from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 30, at Lancaster Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.

The event is free to attend, and the proceeds from the sale of the meaningful gifts will go to the nonprofits represented at the fair.

“There’s a palpable energy at the gift fair,” said Knepper. “It’s a positive, uplifting kind of vibe. I hate big crowds, but everyone is there for the common good. Everyone is coming there seeking opportunities to give contributions or to get involved. It’s an

from pg 1

opportunity to get plugged into the community.”

Gifts That Give Hope’s gift fair will feature items, merchandise and services offered by 35 nonprofit vendors and 20 marketplace vendors.

The nonprofits typically offer services that can also serve as charitable contributions, like music lessons, medical care, mentoring and training. At the marketplace, the vendors usually sell more tangible merchandise like soaps, jewelry and repurposed clothing.

Adding to the festive mood will be live music and food trucks.

“Everything there goes back to a socially conscious

effort,” said Knepper. “I think we all feel a sense that the world feels so heavy. I think the people at the fair are trying to do their best to make the world a better place.”

“Every nonprofit has a story,” continued Knepper. “I think everybody right now is looking for ways to connect with these types of efforts. A small group can change the world. We all can chip away in our spheres of influence to make impacts in areas.”

As many as 1,500 individuals from Lancaster County and beyond are expected to attend the gift fair. Gifts That Give Hope officials are hoping to raise $35,000 for the participat-

ing nonprofits.

The gift fair also offers online shopping opportunities, which can be viewed at https://giftsthat givehopelancaster.org.

“We keep tabs on all the contributions to the various nonprofits,” said Knepper. “When all is said and done, our accountants tabulate everything and write a check to each of those nonprofits. It’s whatever the customers purchase from each nonprofit. It’s up to the nonprofits to promote their items. It’s usually things people can identify with that tend to do well.”

“You want the people who come to the fair to feel like it’s worth their time,” she added. “Receiving gifts is one of the five love languages, and some people love giving gifts. I think giving a good gift is knowing what’s important to people. I don’t think we need more stuff. It’s about thinking about the recipient. I try to give gifts from what I know about the person.”

There’s also a social aspect associated with the gift fair. It can allow attendees to share experiences and get involved, and it can provide nonprofits with opportunities to collaborate and share resources.

“What the nonprofits have told me is that it’s not about the donations; it’s about the connections,” said Knepper. “A lot of nonprofits meet people who are doing similar work and start sharing resources. That’s a benefit that you’re not able to quantify.”

Gifts That Give Hope was established in 2008 when Knepper found out about a similar initiative spearheaded by a group of women in Harrisburg. She could find no reasons that the concept wouldn’t fly in generous Lancaster County.

Since its inception, the gift fair has generated a total of over $500,000 for nonprofits.

“I’d love for people who have never been to the fair to feel intrigued,” said Knepper. “I always challenge the status quo, like, ‘let’s do it differently.’ I want the gift fair to feel appealing to a wide variety of people. I want to pique their interest.”
