Strasburg churches will collaborate on project
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Agroup of Strasburg churches are coming together to help one of their own.
The Strasburg Ministerium, a collection of six area churchesSt. Michael’s Lutheran Church, High View Church of God, Strasburg Mennonite, ACTS Covenant Fellowship, Wesley United Methodist, and First Presbyterian - will join forces to refurbish the social hall at St. Michael’s.
From Friday, March 28, to Sunday, March 30, members of the churches will volunteer to patch and paint the walls of the social hall, which is located at 40 E. Main St., Strasburg.
Members of the community are invited to assist with the project. For more information, email St. Michael’s pastor Melody Sell at Pmsell2@ptd.net.
“What happened was kind of funny,” Sell said. “This congregation through the years has tried to get this room painted. Many years ago, one of the radio stations had an ugly room contest for churches, and they applied and lost. They’ve looked at other options. I asked at the ministerium if anybody knew of a youth work camp coming in.”
Bob Bronkema from First Presbyterian and John Meck from Strasburg Mennonite asked what work Sell needed done, and she told them about the social hall.
“One of them, and I don’t remember which one, said, ‘We pay to go overseas to do mission projects like that. Can’t we do it in our hometown?’” Sell said. “In about 15 minutes, we had a plan.”
St. Michael’s is preparing for the work by rearranging items in the social hall, which is used for meetings and holiday dinners. “I
think it will help all our churches,” Sell said of the group project. “For St. Michael’s, it means this room will be much more usable than it has been for many years. It’s being cleaned out (prior to the painting) which is a good thing, because churches have a bad habit of keeping things forever.”
Pastor Nate Smoker from ACTS Covenant Fellowship is the president of the ministerium. “I think our willingness to put aside our denominational lines to help other churches speaks well,” Smoker said. “I’m thankful for the openness and the unity that we have here in our congregations. We have a lot of services together. We can get behind a church in need. Oftentimes, we allow things to divide us. We like to find things that will unite us. It speaks of the unified heart of the churches here in Strasburg.”
The Strasburg Ministerium is holding Lent lunches in its member churches with the next services Wednesday, April 2,
at Wesley United Methodist, 40 W. Main St., and Wednesday, April 9, at First Presbyterian, 101 S. Decatur St. The service starts at noon followed by a luncheon.
The series of lunches will culminate with an Easter sunrise service on Sunday, April 20, in the cemetery adjacent to St. Michael’s.
Smoker said the ministerium participates in Strasburg National Day of Prayer and holds a fall joint service at Strasburg Community Park and a Thanksgiving service.
The ministerium also helps a food bank that operates out of First Presbyterian Church. Ministerium member pastors meet for a monthly breakfast to discuss future projects.
The upcoming renovation at St. Michael’s is an example of the good works that can be accomplished when churches collaborate.
“For this congregation, that’s a witness that the community cares about not just the churches, but the people,” Sell said.

The Lampeter-Strasburg Area Woman’s Club (LSAWC) will hold its Spring Tea With an American Girl from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 5.
The event, which is open to girls and their dolls, as well as mothers and grandmothers, will take place at First Presbyterian Church, 101 S. Decatur St., Strasburg.
Tea will be served along with light fare.
LSAWC co-president Elaine Benner said the tea will feature the 2025 American Girl doll Summer McKinny, who is a dog lover and enjoys baking. Each girl who attends will have a chance to win the doll.
The event will include a story about Summer and her interests, crafts for the girls to make for
themselves and for their dolls, and prizes. The prizes will include doll furniture; doll clothing; and doll play items such as a small kitchen, a beauty salon chair, and accessories.
Benner said a surprise guest will be joining the girls. Each girl will receive a door prize of an apron, made by a club member, that reflects the

It is a historic setting to meet merit badge requirements.
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will hold on-site railroading merit badge workshops from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, March 29, April 26, May 17, June 21 and Aug. 23.
For more information or to register, go to www.rrmuse umpa.org and click on “Events” under the “Events & Programs” tab.
The workshops are for boys and girls ages 11 through 17 who are involved in Scouting, so they can learn by working with historic artifacts and model trains. Scouts who complete the program earn an official railroading merit badge.
“We are told (the railroading merit badge) is a specialized merit badge to offer, so I think that adds to the draw this museum has,” said museum educator Jesse Shetrom. “It’s just a cool venue for it.”

Participants sought for study
Sierra Club seeking grant proposals
The Sierra Club - Lancaster Group will accept proposals for the next round of its “green project” grants through Monday, March 31. Any Lancaster County 501(c)(3) organization with a project that promotes sustainability, expands environmental awareness and improves green infrastructure is eligible to apply for a grant.
The program annually awards grants of up to $500 to charitable, educational or business 501(c)(3) groups that demonstrate a commitment to the Sierra Club’s mission of “exploring, enjoying and protecting the planet” in Lancaster County. When applying for a grant, organizations should consider how their projects relate to an ecological preservation or educational effort.
Projects may focus on topics such as storm water management, rain gardens and rain barrels; native
plantings; pollinator plants; organic gardens; composting programs; or hands-on learning. The Lancaster Group will offer its expertise and labor to support the projects that are awarded grants. Ninety-five organizations have been awarded grants over the past nine years.
To apply, visit http:// lancastersierraclub.org/ grant-program/.
Winners will be announced on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, and soon after, a list of the awardees will be posted at www .lancastersierraclub.org.

Preschoolers perform music at church
Great Beginnings Preschool recently celebrated Preschool Sunday during the contemporary service at First Presbyterian Church of Strasburg. During Preschool Sunday, all preschoolers in attendance perform Bible songs they have practiced for weeks.
This year, the students sang “I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in my Heart” and “My God Is so Great.” Brianna Davis, one of the teachers in the 2-year-old program, accompanied the children on the piano, while other teachers and teaching assistants guided the children through the lyrics and motions.
Great Beginnings Pre -
school is accepting registrations for the 2025-26 school year. The school is located within First Presbyterian Church of Strasburg, 101 S. Decatur St. It offers a 2-year-old program on Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays, a 3-year-old program on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and morning prekindergarten programs appropriate for 4- and 5-year-olds on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. All morning classes are held from 9 to 11:30 a.m.
For more information about First Presbyterian Church of Strasburg and Great Beginnings Preschool, visit www.straspres.org.
Children from Great Beginnings Preschool came together on Preschool Sunday to perform two songs for the congregation of First Presbyterian Church of Strasburg.
O’Connor said the on-site workshops regularly attract Scouts from as far away as New York. One family took a flight from Florida just to attend the workshop, then immediately boarded another for a trip back home, she said. The workshops are made up of four activities, two in the morning and two more in the afternoon. Scouts are able to study G-scale model railroad demonstrations. G-scale is a track gauge for model railways that is large and durable so that it can be used outdoors.
“That’s one of the unique things we have here,” Shetrom said. Attendees then study equipment at the museum. In the afternoon, Scouts spend time in a classroom and then study railway safety. Shetrom and O’Connor are both trained through Operation Lifesaver in order to be instructors of the safety program.
The museum also has a Solari board, or “clickety-clack sign,” as O’Connor describes it. A Solari
board lists arrivals and departures, showing numbers and letters on rotating flaps. The museum’s Solari board no longer moves, but there is a virtual representation of a Solari board.
“We have unique ways that we can fulfill this merit badge,” O’Connor said. “We do have a worldclass collection here that the Scouts get to view behind-the-scenes equipment tours of.”
Shetrom added, “We have all the freight cars and passenger cars kids need for the requirements. … They can do everything in one day, and it’s hands-on. They get to interact with all this history as opposed to it being described in a sterile classroom setting.”
A unique Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania “Railroading Merit Badge” patch is an extra reward for participants who complete the workshop at the museum.
“It’s a lot of fun, but we couldn’t do it without our volunteers,” Shetrom said. Scouts must always be
accompanied by an adult. There is a fee for the workshops, which are capped at 25 Scouts each and are filled on a first-come, firstserved basis.
On-site and virtual railroading merit badge workshops for the remainder of the year will be scheduled and announced later. Virtual workshops are also popular; O’Connor said a Scout from South Korea participated.

Penn State Extension sets walking program
Penn State Extension will offer a virtual, statewide walking program called Everybody Walk Across Pennsylvania from Monday, April 7, through Monday, June 2.
The program is aimed at harnessing social support to help people achieve healthy lifestyle goals.
Participants may walk individually or with family members, friends, co-workers or their dogs in teams of up to five. Each individual or team member will aim to walk 10 miles a week or exercise an equivalent amount.
Participants can walk at a time and place convenient for them, such as a park, neighborhood, or yard. Weekly emails sent to participants will seek to motivate people to keep walking as well as provide strategies for eating healthy.
Organizers noted that physical activity and healthy eating habits are critical to long-term health. Moderate exercise such as walking can reduce stress and fatigue and sharpen mental alertness.
Exercise improves cardiovascular functioning and strengthens bones. Combined with healthy eating, walking can help people reduce or maintain body weight and decrease the incidence of several chronic diseases.
The program is not competitive and is intended to
help participants improve their own physical activity levels.
Participation is free, but the deadline for registration is Tuesday, April 1. More information is available by visiting https:// extension.psu.edu/every body-walk-across-pa or calling 877-345-0691.

doll’s interest in baking.
“Club members spend countless hours behind the scenes preparing for the tea,” Benner said. Members will be sewing outfits for the dolls, preparing the play items with accessories, and painting and reupholstering furniture pieces to enhance the products girls can win, she added.
“We have been doing it for 26 years, and we’ve had mothers (who have attended the Spring Tea as children) bring their daughters,” Benner said. “It’s generational.”
Tickets are on sale. There is limited seating, and tickets will be sold on a firstcome, first-served basis. Those interested in attending can purchase tickets by emailing lswomansclub@ gmail.com or by calling Benner at 717-572-7010.
The girls in the area look forward to it,” said Benner. “I thought playing with dolls was going away, but it’s back. The girls are into tea and think it’s a special event.”
The Lampeter-Strasburg Area Woman’s Club is a nonprofit organization whose objective is to make a difference in the commu-
nity through outreach and events, Benner said.
The group, which has been active for more than 60 years, is made up of women between the ages of 30 and 80. “(The club members are) from various backgrounds that come together to learn more about each other and the community we live in,” Benner said.
LSAWC meets August through May on the fourth Tuesday of each month at Wesley United Methodist Church, 40 W. Main St., Strasburg.
The get-togethers begin at 7 p.m. with a short business meeting followed by a special interest program and light refreshments. Previous programs have included a presentation on self-defense for women, outreach programs from a local veterans’ organization, and a recap of the skills learned at the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) summer program. The club sponsors a Lampeter Strasburg junior to attend the HOBY convention.
In April, the club will offer a presentation on end-of-life conversations
with a roundtable of local professionals. Each year, the organization holds two fundraising events. In addition to the Spring Tea, bingo is held at the Willow Street Fire Company. This year’s bingo will be an indoor/outdoor plant and patio event to be held on Sunday, May 4. Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, April 1.
The club sponsors two scholarships for graduating Lampeter-Strasburg High School seniors. Benner said the group also provides support to civic organizations such as veterans’ groups, animal shelters, the Willow Street Fire Company, the Lampeter Fire Company, and the Strasburg Fire Company, as well as the Strasburg-Heisler Library. She added that the organization also helps people who experience an unexpected hardship or who have a specific need.
“It is an honor to belong to a group of great women that meet just once a month and provide back to the community consistently while having fun and nurturing lifelong friendships,” Benner said.
Golf tournament to benefit BFB
The staff of HARTZ Physical Therapy (PT) will present the fourth annual Spring Swing Charity Scramble Golf Tournament on Friday, May 16, beginning at 1:30 p.m. at Iron Valley Golf Club, 201 Iron Valley Drive, Lebanon.
The year’s event will benefit Beards for Brothers (BFB), an organization that is committed to raising funds to support first responders and their families who have a family member fighting cancer.
There will be a cost to play per foursome. The fee includes golf, use of a cart, lunch, beverages, giveaways and prizes. The event will also include a
silent auction. To register a team or to learn how to sponsor the event, visit www.hartzpt .com/spring-swing. Those who register by Monday, March 31, will receive a discount.

Pilot Club will hold fashion show fundraiser
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Fashion trends are always changing, but helping people never goes out of style for the Pilot Club of Lancaster.
The Pilot Club will hold its annual Derby Day Fashion Show & Luncheon on Saturday, April 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Palm Court at DoubleTree Resort, 2400 Willow Street Pike, Lancaster.
Mainstream Boutique will bring the latest fashions, which will be worn by volunteer models. The luncheon will include soup and salad, bread and butter, dessert, coffee, and iced tea.
There is a cost to attend. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the group on Facebook by searching for “Pilot Club of Lancaster.”
Entertainment will be provided by Adriano, a one-man band playing an organ and singing songs performed by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and others.
There will be chances to win items and a hat contest for ladies. “Wear your most outlandish Derby hat to win a prize,” Pilot Club president Kelly Osborne said.
All proceeds will benefit the organization’s community service projects, said Osborne.
The Pilot Club was chartered in Lancaster in 1947. “We are a nonprofit community service club,” Osborne said. “We’re similar to the Rotary Club or the Lions Club. Our motto is ‘Friendship and Service.’”
The group launched the local Meals on Wheels program in 1967. Meals on Wheels grew to become a separate nonprofit, but the Pilot Club still makes monetary donations, and some members volunteer to deliver meals.
All men and women are welcome to join the Pilot Club. The Lancaster chapter’s membership currently consists of 37 women.
The Pilot Club meets at 5:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at Lancaster Tennis & Yacht Club, 2615 Columbia Ave., Lancaster. Guests are welcome to attend to see how the club operates, Osborne said.
The Pilot Club’s signature community service initiative is Project Lifesaver of Lancaster County, a group near and dear to Osborne.
Project Lifesaver is a search-and-rescue program for people who wander away from home due to a cognitive issue such as dementia or autism, Osborne said.
West Hempfield Police Department was the first department to embrace the program when it began in 2012. Since then, Project Lifesaver has added 22 police departments as full or associate members to become a countywide organization that includes Lancaster County Emergency Management Agency (LEMA) and Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Troop J Lancaster.
Osborne, who retired from her job as a state
trooper in January of 2023, had never heard of Project Lifesaver until 2019. Her father, Courtney, who had dementia, wandered away from an assisted living facility in Lancaster Township in October of 2019 and was found dead.
Serendipitously, days earlier, a sheriff from New Jersey had called Osborne to notify the PSP a Project Lifesaver client was visiting Lancaster County. When Osborne returned the message, she said she got chills.
“I knew right then and there it was my mission to search for information on Project Lifesaver and bring it to Troop J Lancaster as a tribute to my dad,” she said.
Osborne connected with the Pilot Club in 2019, joined two years later, and is now finishing the first year of a twoyear term as the group’s president. She acquired funding and cut through red tape to bring Project Lifesaver to Troop J.

“We count on this money to continue to fund Project Lifesaver of Lancaster County to purchase transmitters and equipment for our police departments,” Osborne said.
Here’s how Project Lifesaver works: Families who have loved ones with a cognitive condition and fear that person could get lost may contact Cathy Cieslinski of the Pilot Club at 717-572-2682 or go to www.pilotclubof lancaster.org.

The Pilot Club helps fund the purchase of equipment and training of police officers and handles client enrollment and battery maintenance.
LEMA and police agencies maintain search-andrescue equipment, keep officers proficient with the training, and do the searchand-rescue missions when
The Pilot Club fits clients with a transmitter on either an ankle or a wrist. There is a specific frequency assigned to each transmitter. Should the client go missing, the caregiver is instructed to call 911, and then trained personnel go out with a receiver in search of the missing person. “It’s archaic technology but tried and true,” Osborne said. She added that Project Lifesaver has reduced search-and-rescue time from an average of about nine hours to an average of 30 minutes or less.
There is a cost associated with each transmitter and the equipment that goes with it, but the Pilot Club provides scholarship opportunities for those in need so that no one is turned away.

Lecture to highlight Congressman
LancasterHistory, 230 N. President Ave., Lancaster, will host a presentation by Jeffrey Boutwell on his new book, “Boutwell: Radical Republican and Champion of Democracy,” on Thursday, April 3. Doors will open and a reception and book signing by the author will begin at 5 p.m. The panel discussion will take place at 5:30 p.m. The presentation will also be livestreamed via Zoom.
The lecture will explore the political contributions of Congressman George S. Boutwell from Massachusetts. Jeffrey, a distant relative of George, will trace a life that offers an insider’s view of pivotal moments that laid the groundwork for modern America. George interacted with James Buchanan during the Antebellum Era and worked with Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and with Thaddeus Stevens during Reconstruction. Jeffrey is a writer, historian, and policy specialist whose 40-year career spanned journalism, government, and international
scientific cooperation. He has a Bachelor of Arts in history from Yale University and a Ph.D. in political science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He lives in Columbia, Md.
Boutwell’s lecture is part of LancasterHistory’s Presidential Lecture Series, which presents new scholarship related to the presidency in mid-19th-century America.
The series explores the issues of political, social, and civic life faced by the persons holding America’s highest office during some of the nation’s most fraught events.
This program is free and open to the public. In-person attendance requires advance registration in order to guarantee a seat. Due to capacity restrictions, tickets may not be available at the door. Virtual attendance requires advance registration in order to receive the Zoom link. To register, visit www .lancasterhistory.org or call 717-392-4633.

During business hours, customers can click a link and engage in a video conversation with a representative using sign language. After business hours, customers can leave a video message. For deaf customers who visit one of the bank’s more than 200 financial centers, there will also be an option to scan a QR code to connect with a sign language interpreter via their mobile device. The interpreter can then translate for the customer and financial center staff.
For more information, visit www.FultonBank .com. More information about 360 Direct Access is available at www.360direct access.com.
