Describing the annual event sponsored by SHOUT Student Ministries at Hempfield United Methodist Church as a gigantic indoor yard sale does not even begin to hint at its enormity. The yard sale practically fills one level of the church building, 3050 Marietta Ave., Lancaster. Youth group members and supporters spend the two weeks before the sale pricing the items and sorting them by department: domestics, furniture, toys, office and craft, collectibles, jewelry, electronics, sporting goods, seasonal/holidays, tools and outdoors, pets, and clothing. Each department will have its own space at the sale.
“The yard sale serves many purposes, but its largest purpose is to support summer youth missions. Youths are expected to take active roles (in the event),� said senior high youth director Stacy Knight. In addition to sorting, the young people help to serve dinner during the preparation nights, and they work as cashiers and runners on the day of the yard sale. A majority of the sale inventory is contributed by congregation members. “They know we have the sale every year,� Knight remarked. “We start communicating after Christmas that we need stuff, we need volunteers, and we need shoppers. We do get people by word of mouth who are cleaning out (their collections).� See Indoor Yard Sale pg 4

Boy Scout Troop 64 will hold its annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser on March 21 at Salem United Church of Christ of Rohrerstown. By Dayna M. Reidenouer
The promise to help people at all times is part of the Boy Scout Oath. Boy Scout Troop 64 demonstrated its commitment to its oath through a recent service project for its charter organization, Salem United Church of Christ (UCC) of Rohrerstown, 2312 Marietta Ave., Lancaster.
At its Feb. 18 meeting, the troop’s committee approved the purchase of a secure display box in which to house an automated external defibrillator (AED). The medical device will be supplied through a grant found by Assistant Scoutmaster Nina Evans, and she will be in charge of maintenance and upkeep. Evans had noted that the See Troop 64 pg 4
