promotions and statistics and everything I need on the computer,� said Malin, who noted that Lucas announces games and helps out during practice. While Lucas is a busy guy, he does not think of his work with the team in terms of job duties. “It’s a lot of fun doing this,� he said. “We’re not just a team. It’s kind of like a family. We are that close.� The Thunder began playing in the area in the fall of 2019 as part of the American Basketball Association (ABA), See Thunder pg 6

Lynette Morales, the Everence church relations representative who coordinates Stewardship University, wants Lancaster County residents to know that the yearly event is not just about money. “It is a day of holistic stewardship,� said Morales, who noted that the workshops offered are designed to answer questions like: What does it mean to be a good steward of the Gospel? Or of the gifts God has given me?
Stewardship University 2020 will be held on Saturday, March 7, at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster. Registration will begin at See Stewardship pg 7
