VBS Is “Still Knit In God’s Love” By Dayna M. Reidenouer
At its most basic, knitting involves forming interlocking loops from a single length of yarn. This produces a strong, yet flexible fabric. Children who attended vacation Bible school (VBS) at
Schreiber’s 32nd annual Rubber Duckie Race will be virtual for the first time in its history. Souvenir duckies with a “Choose Your Own Adventure” theme will accompany ticket sales, which will end on Sept. 12. Ticket proceeds will be matched by a grant from the Stabler Foundation.
Trinity United Church of Christ (UCC), 2340 State St., East Petersburg, last year, learned about how they are “Knit in God’s Love,” which was the week’s theme. This year’s VBS theme will build on that curriculum with the theme “Still Knit in God’s Love.” The concepts taught last year highlighted biblical examples of items being knit in God’s love: human bodies, communities, the Earth and all its creatures, and God’s presence in individuals’ days. The entire week was a demonstration of connection among community See VBS pg 2
Vacation Bible school (VBS) participants in 2019 learned finger knitting as part of the “Knit in God’s Love” curriculum at Trinity UCC in East Petersburg. This year’s VBS will build on that theme, but it will be offered via an online choice board.

The seventh annual golf tournament hosted by the Hempfield girls’ and boys’ basketball booster clubs will be held at Four Seasons Golf Club, 949 Church St., Landisville, on Friday, Aug. 7. Check-in will open at 11 a.m., and play will begin with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. Registration is requested by Friday, July 31, but walk-up registration will be available. The tournament will take place rain or shine. A cost per golfer has been set and includes a picnic-style lunch, cart rental, a buffet dinner, refreshments, and contests. Team and individual prizes will be awarded. Non-golfers may attend the awards dinner, and separate fees have been set for adults and for children age 12 and younger. Format adjustments will be made to the event following the recommended COVID-19 prevention guidelines, if necessary.
The proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Hempfield School District’s girls’ and boys’ basketball programs. The booster clubs’ members are athletes’ parents and other people who are interested in supporting, improving, and assisting the district’s basketball programs, said parent volunteer Daren Moffatt. The groups’ sphere of influence covers all grades from elementary to high school. Their primary function is fundraising and volunteering to support the programs and to promote school spirit through athletics. As examples of what the booster clubs provide for all players in the programs, Moffatt listed league and tournament fees, video equipment, apparel, sneakers, team equipment, team-building activities, strength and conditioning activities, and team recognition events. The golf tournament is one of the major sources of funding for the booster clubs. The income from the event will have extra importance this year. Although the basketball teams completed their seasons before the shutdown in March, their 2021 seasons might be impacted.
