for more details. “People can pray for whatever they want to or request prayer for whatever they need,” Theresa said, explaining the program. “If you are interested in prayer and being part of our prayer ministry and need or want to pray with someone, that’s what I’m (here) for.” “The whole idea is to get people together with each other and God at the same time,” she said, adding that the ministry would also like to offer a Bible study program. Theresa, along with her husband, Bill, president and founder, formed the Christian outreach ministry less than a year ago. Bill is an ordained certified chaplain with Corporate Chaplains of America. “We have been in ministry for years, but God put it into our hearts to start our own ministry and step out and do things,” Theresa said.

Hunger Run Benefits Hummelstown Food Pantry BY FRANCINE FULTON
Organizers report that the sixth annual Hummelstown Hunger Run was a great success this year, raising more than $30,000 for the Hummelstown Food Pantry. The food pantry also received two truck beds full of nonperishable food items donated by the participants and volunteers, along with bananas, water and snacks from the event. This year’s Hunger Run, held on May 8 at Schaffner Park in Hummelstown, featured a 5K run and walk, as well as a newly added 5-mile run. “We were very fortunate with the weather and had a great outing for the food pantry,” said Jill Osevala, who runs the event along with her husband, BJ. “We had 265 participants and about 100 volunteers.” See Hunger Run pg 2
