sioned this event, and it has grown consistently through the years. Rowles said, “We’re glad to offer a safe, outdoor family activity centered around great music, and we’re looking forward to a beautiful day outdoors with our community neighbors of all ages. From the music to great food, fun and games … it’s a family-oriented event that benefits a great cause in the Hempfield Area Food Pantry.” The event is free, but attendees may bring nonperishable canned goods and cash donations. Those who bring five or more items will have a chance to win a gas card. In the case of inclement weather, the event will take place indoors. The event is sponsored by Richards Energy, Harmon & Davies Attorneys at Law, High Transit, and Hershey Ice Cream. For the summer, Wayside will host one Sunday service at 10 a.m. This service will feature a blend of contemporary and traditional music. Starting in September, Wayside will return to its normal schedule, offering two Sunday morning worship choices - a traditional service from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., followed by fellowship and a contemporary service with Grace Notes from 11 a.m. to noon.

In 2020, the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Lancaster Relay For Life event was canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions. Last year, Relay For Life of Lancaster County held an abbreviated event. “Everyone was so excited to be in each other’s presence and to be able to be on the track,” recalled Stephanie Delp, ACS senior development manager. “That momentum has carried us forward.” See Relay For Life pg 5
