Bazaar Will Offer Crafts, Food and More for All
BY CAT SHANNON
When the organizers of the holiday bazaar at Ironville United Methodist Church say they have something for everyone, they’re not kidding. The church’s annual event will feature craft vendors, a white elephant room, a kids’ area and lots of homemade food.
The bazaar will be held at the church, 4020 Holly Drive, Columbia, on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“We will have 17 outside vendors selling crafts and 24 vendors in all, including the church tables,” said Marge Osborne, who is on the bazaar committee. Vendors will sell sewn and knitted items, jewelry, primitive décor and more. A group of women from the church get
together regularly to make craft items that will be for sale as well, and Marge will sell homemade aprons, among other items. Her husband, Bob, who is also on the committee, will sell painted Christmas balls.
“We’ll also have a bake sale table, where we have Amish apple dumplings,” Marge said, noting that sugar-free options will be available as well.
The baked goods table is always a popular spot, said bazaar committee member William Bulett.
“Come to our bazaar because of the fabulous food,” he shared. “We have many great bakers in this church.”
Along with cakes, pies, cookies and more, food will include homemade chicken corn soup and homemade barbecue, as well as hot dogs, chips and drinks.
“You can eat here at tables we set up or take your food to go,” said bazaar committee member Wendy Wissinger. “We also sell soup to go by the quart.”
Wendy; William; and William’s wife, Linda, work in the white elephant room of the bazaar, collecting items for several weeks leading up to the event.
“The idea of the white elephant room is most of things are not priced,” Linda said, adding that shoppers can pay what they feel the item is worth to them. Some nicer items are priced, she noted.
White elephant items include Christmas and other holiday décor, kitchen items, housewares and much more.
“Items are all donated by church members, family and friends,” William said.

LCSA Seeks To Put Graduates to Work
BY JEFF FALK
Preparing local students to be valuable employees in an ever-changing work climate is not a job for one individual, one group or even one institution. It takes an alliance. It takes a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) alliance. It takes Lancaster County STEM Alliance (LCSA).
“In the business community, there was a lot of talk that students were graduating and needed to be totally trained,” said Lauren Miller, a Manheim Township resident who is the executive director of LCSA. “We saw that the teachers were working their tails off, so there was this disconnect. We needed to be aligned. We didn’t want our talent to grow here and then leave because they didn’t think there were career opportunities here. The business world is changing so much and so quickly that we still need to have these tricky conversations.”
Headquartered at 23 E. King St., Lancaster, LCSA is a consortium dedicated to helping Lancaster County students to become workforce ready by the time they graduate from high school. The organization’s 25-member advisory board meets four times each year to brainstorm, analyze data, set goals and implement policies.
“To collectively impact, that’s been the whole purpose of why we exist,” said Miller. “No one person can solve our workforce challenges. That’s where the power happens. We say, ‘Join the movement.’ No one organization has all the resources or

The Froschauer Bible, completed in the year 1529, was the earliest complete Bible of the Protestant Reformation, as well as the first German-language Bible to be used widely by Anabaptists. Though it was not initially intended for an Anabaptist audience, the Froschauer Bible was quickly adopted by the movement in its early years. Some Plain Anabaptist communities still use the Froschauer Bible today.

Bazaar from pg 1
Across the hall from the white elephant room, a kids’ area will be set up, with toys and books for sale.
“We will also have someone in that room doing crafts with any children who are interested,” Wendy said.
A silent auction will be featured at the bazaar as well, with opportunities to win a variety of items.
“What we have in the auction varies every year depending on what we can get,” Wendy said.
“We’ve had quilts in the past, flower arrangements, gift cards, plants.” Silent auction winners do not need to be present to win.
The church has held the bazaar for decades,
providing a fun community event. Proceeds are used to support church projects and outreach missions.
“It’s a really fun day,” Linda said, encouraging people to come to the bazaar. “It’s kind of like we’re one big family, because people come back year after year.”
Parking is available in a large lot at the church. People should enter the bazaar in the back of the building. The entrance and bazaar space are handicapped-accessible, and a handicapped-accessible restroom is available inside.
Ironville United Methodist Church holds Sunday worship service at 10:30 a.m. For more information, call the church at 717-6848072 or visit www.iron villeumc.org.

all the answers. We have to be leveraging each other’s strengths.”
Each September LCSA conducts its Workforce 2030 Summit, an annual conference designed to make Lancaster County a work-ready community by 2030. This year, more than 250 educators, business leaders, representatives of nonprofits and community partners attended.
LCSA also engages in grant-giving, programs, projects and learning platforms like apprenticeships, internships, job shadowing, company tours and mentoring.
“To me, the term STEM is all about creative thinking, problem-solving and all the things that make you successful in the workplace,” said Miller. “It’s the Lancaster County STEM Alliance’s belief that all Lancaster County students should be graduating with basic STEM skills. STEM jobs pay well, and the demand for them is growing.”
LCSA is a collaborative network of dozens of local organizations similar to the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, Lancaster-Lebanon IU13 and the United Way of Lancaster County. LCSA also works closely with the county’s 16 public school districts and 15 non-public schools located in Lancaster County.
“We’re hyper-focused on Lancaster County,”
Church Sets
Soup Sale
Faith United Methodist Church, 1290 Fruitville Pike, Lititz, is accepting orders for quarts of Oregon Dairy soups. Orders and payment are due by Sunday, Nov. 2.
Vegetable beef, chicken corn, tomato bisque, creamy potato, chicken corn noodle, and ham and bean soup varieties are available at a set cost per quart.
Orders will be ready for pickup at the church on Saturday, Nov. 22, from 10 a.m. to noon. Quarts will be available for walk-ins while supplies last.
To place an order, call the church at 717-560-0321, email faithumc@hotmail .com, or visit www.faithumc .us and click “Online Giving.”
said Miller. “I think the people who are involved with the Lancaster County STEM Alliance are civically minded community leaders who are committed to Lancaster County residents having life-sustaining wages. They want to make Lancaster better. They’re willing to invest their capital and resources to ensure people have jobs that are meaningful.”
In 2024, 23,000 individuals participated in LCSA programs.
“We’ve always needed essential life skills,” said Miller. “But work has become more technology driven. The world of work is no longer factory based, and work has required us to do more thinking. Jobs look very different today.”
Miller and foundation program coordinator Andrew Garner make up LCSA’s two-employee staff, but the organization relies heavily on the contributions of numerous volunteers. LCSA’s work is almost entirely funded through the Steinman Foundation,
whose mission is to ensure quality of life for all the citizens of Lancaster County.
“We have a committed group of people who are trying to prepare the workforce of tomorrow,” said Miller. “It’s not just the sole responsibility of parents or educators to prepare the new generation for work. We all play a critical role in a student’s education. We really need the community to open doors to the education system.”
LCSA was established in 2015. A year later, the organization was recognized nationally as a STEM ecosystem.
“I think a large majority of the community doesn’t even know we exist,” said Miller. “But we have definitely grown quite a bit over the last three years. We’re only as strong as the network of people who are supporting us. There are a lot of ways to get involved in the Lancaster County STEM Alliance.”

Holiday Bazaar Will Feature Handcrafted
Cheer
BY CAT SHANNON
The members of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church are a crafty bunch, and they’ll share their creativity with the community at the church’s annual Holiday Bazaar. The event will be held at the church, 1290 River Road, Marietta, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31, and Saturday, Nov. 1.
“Our bazaar offers something for everyone,” said Mary Ann Eshleman, bazaar organizer. “Buy some Christmas gifts and new decorations for your home, have a good lunch and take home a dessert or two!”
Shoppers will find everything they’re looking for at the bazaar, she noted.
“We transform our fellowship hall into a beautiful space for shopping and dining,” she said. “We have an area where you will be tempted by all the yummy baked goods, candy and treats. This is always a busy spot! There is a white elephant area, which features gently used and bargain-priced items such as books, jigsaw puzzles, record albums and home goods.”
Cold food will be available to go from the kitchen, with the choice of soup, includ-
ing chicken corn, vegetable beef and ham and bean, or barbecue, including hamburger, pulled chicken and pulled pork.
“We also will have a dining area where you can sit and enjoy a hot bowl of soup du jour, meatball or hot dog sandwich or macaroni and cheese for lunch,” Eshleman said.
The rest of the space will be filled with tables of handcrafted items that are made throughout the year by church members.
“There is beaded jewelry, crocheted items ranging from an afghan to dishcloths to cute stuffed animals,” she remarked.
“We have Christmas ornaments, wreaths, floral arrangements and décor. There are many fall decorations to choose from also. A lot of our crafts are made from wood and inspired by things seen on Pinterest. Every year we try to come up with new ideas.”
A variety of paperthemed gifts will also be for sale, including gift bags, gift tags, gift card holders, sticky note pads and notebooks. This year, organizers will also sell tickets for a chance to win a Bazaar Sampler Bundle, which will include a variety of homemade crafts.
Holding the bazaar is an annual tradition at Zion Lutheran, Eshleman said, and it serves several purposes.
“We use the proceeds from the bazaar to help fund special projects in our church and our outreach ministries,” she explained. This year the proceeds will be split between Zion’s elevator fund and Tools 4 School, a school supply giveaway.
“(The bazaar) is an opportunity to engage with our local community,” Eshleman continued. “And even though it requires many hands helping and

Holiday Treasures and Homemade Treats
BY CAT SHANNON
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
Whether you have or not, you’ll find just what you’re looking for at the Olde Salem Craft Bazaar. The event will be held in the social hall at the rear of Historic Salem United Church of Christ (UCC), 324 Walnut St., Columbia, on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Shoppers can peruse fall and Christmas crafts, gently used Christmas decor, Mary Kay products, toys, jewelry, handmade dolls, plants, books, teacup gnomes and teacup floral arrangements. New merchandise will include
Risser Mill Road Mount Joy, PA • (717) 653-2757 www.eastlandalpacas.com
Fall Open House
made from Alpaca. Items include: Sweaters • Jackets • Scarves • Gloves Hats
Socks
Throws • Yarn Stuffed Animals • And More...
toys, clothing, household goods and Christmas items.
Several chance items will be up for grabs, including a peace basket, Lego sets, a gift card giveaway basket, a local business basket, a cozy basket and a health and beauty basket.
For people who work up an appetite while shopping, the bazaar will also feature a variety of food for sale. Soups, including homemade chicken corn, ham and bean, cheesy cauliflower and chili, will be served, along with filling balls and sandwiches such as hamburger barbecue, subs and hot dogs. New this year, the church members will also offer breakfast food. Lots of baked goods will be for sale as well, including sand tarts, pumpkin rolls, peanut butter balls, cake doughnuts, cake pops and fudge. All items will be available to enjoy for a sit-down meal or for takeout.
Come...take a tour of our farm and “Get up Close and Personal” with an Alpaca or a baby Cria.

“The bazaar is a tradition for Salem UCC and a time for fellowship and enjoyment,” shared bazaar team member Julie Bigler. “A variety of vendors will be on hand, which gives a number of unique gift ideas for someone or yourself. It is also a chance for the vendors to showcase their talents and creativity. We will also have delicious homemade food and baked goods you can enjoy on-site or take home.”
“I personally love going

Patient Care: At SFAH we are committed to providing the most compassionate, ethical and quality care to our patients. We treat them as if they were members of our own families.

to a smaller, cozier venue where you can shop for unique items - even books,” said committee member Denise Bollinger. “You can chat with the vendors and enjoy a leisurely lunch of homemade soup, a sandwich and a homemade baked good. And who else has filling balls?”
Proceeds from the bazaar will support Salem’s missions of the month, including Columbia Public Library, Our Church’s Wider Mission, Columbia Dream Center and more.
The bazaar has been a tradition at Salem UCC for a long time, and this year will be bittersweet, said bazaar committee member Hilary Smith.
“After 222 years, Historic Salem UCC has made
the tough decision to close our doors due to declining membership and the inability in maintaining the property,” she shared. “We have decided to have our last worship service on Pentecost Sunday in 2026, which is a celebration Sunday in the Christian faith. This also gives us the opportunity to have one more traditional Christmas and Easter service.”
She hopes people will come for one last opportunity to shop at the Olde Salem Craft Bazaar.
“Come for new, crafty, unique items with relaxing shopping and a chance to win a nice basket, all for a good cause,” she said. For more information on the bazaar, call the church at 717-684-6498 and leave a message.
LBC To Present
“Seussical”
Lancaster Bible College (LBC) will present “Seussical: The Musical” from Friday, Nov. 7, to Sunday, Nov. 9, in Good Shepherd Chapel, 901 Eden Road, Lancaster.
In the musical, Dr. Seuss’ most beloved characters - like Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and an imaginative child named JoJo - take audiences from the Jungle of Nool to Circus McGurkus to the invisible World of the Whos.
The musical emphasizes the powers of friendship,
loyalty, family, and community. “Seussical: The Musical” is one of the most performed shows in America, brought to life by Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Performances will take place at 7 p.m. on Nov. 7 and Saturday, Nov. 8, and at 2 p.m. on Nov. 8 and 9. To purchase tickets, visit www.lbc.edu/ events.
For more information on LBC’s Music, Worship & Performing Arts Department, visit www.lbc.edu/mwpa.
