Aiming High And Shooting For The Stars Church To Host Outdoor Music Festival
After finding out that Creation Festival was canceled for the second year in a row, Josh Fulmer, youth minister at Hempfield Church of the Brethren, 1186 Stevens St., Manheim, was disappointed. The youth group members had also been looking forward to attending the music festival, so Fulmer discussed ideas with the church secretary, who suggested hosting a music event at the church. Fulmer noted that he did not want to plan something small with only a few bands. Instead, he wanted to aim high and shoot for the stars. Hempfield Church of the Brethren will host its first Hempfield Community Outdoor Bash event from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25. The event is free to the public and will take place

from the fundraiser will support the field hockey team and activities for the 2021 season. The team noted it hopes to offer free field hockey opportunities for children in the community to learn about the game in the offseason. The field hockey program is an extension of the high school learning experience. It helps teach student-athletes about dedication, teamwork, adversity, and
sportsmanship. “As coaches, we work to create a positive learning environment by providing meaningful experiences while enhancing skills and positive values through the sport of field hockey,” said head coach Sara Brooks. “We also work to grow the game in the community as we work with elementary players in the offseason and build a bridge between current and future players.”
The season will kick off on Monday, Aug. 23, with a scrimmage at East Pennsboro. The first official game is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 4, against Elizabethtown at Hempfield High School.
