St. Paul’s UMC Places Plaque for Founding Member

n the morning of Oct. 6, St. Paul’s United Methodist Church (UMC) in Birdsboro held a plaque dedication ceremony for Evan Evans, a founding member of the church who served in the Revolutionary War.

Our Founding Principles

The event was in partnership with the Governor Joseph Hiester Chapter of the National Society of Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR), the William P. Duval chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the color guard. Shelley Klausman, a descendant

of Evans and a member of the DAR, spoke at the event. “The Evans family, one of the earliest established families in Berks County, has contributed to the prominence in peace and war,” Klausman said. “The family has always been noted for its honesty and integrity of its members, See St. Paul’s pg 4

It’s important to interact with people whom you can relate to. T hat ’s one of the goals of St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church’s military ministry, which will hold its third annual pasta dinner on Friday, Nov. 6, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the church, 5 Brooke Manor, Birdsboro. “People you know are there. It’s a good time to have fellowship, meet people and talk to each other,” said Gene Arantowicz, a veteran who

See St. Mark’s pg 8 annual dinner.

The 35th annual Turkey Bowl will be run on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 26, at the Tel Hai Camp and Retreat, 31 Lasso Drive, Honey Brook. The event will feature a 5K cross-country race that will take participants through the camp and around the lake. The event will also include a roughly half-mile children’s fun run. This year’s event will begin with registration and race packet pickup from 7:45 to 9:20 a.m. in the camp’s dining hall. The fun run, which is open to children age 12 and under, will begin at 9:10 a.m. Parents may run alongside their child in the fun run at no charge. The 5K race will follow at 9:40 a.m. “When it was originally started, the guy that started it before me wanted to kind of make it stand out from the regular turkey trots,” said Bruce Gregory, program director at Tel Hai Camp and Retreat. “Everyone calls them turkey trots, so he made this a turkey bowl race.” Second Wind Race Timing will once against provide chip timing for the 5K race. Online registration and mail-in registration forms can be accessed from the Turkey Bowl page on the camp’s website, www.telhaicamp.org. Online registration will be open until the end of check-in on race day. Participants will need to register online before they arrive or when they arrive using their cellphones. After poor weather in 2024, last year’s race had some beautiful weather, something Gregory is hoping for again. Last year’s See Tel Hai pg 3

hoping to maintain 250 runners for this year ’s race, which is being held at Hibernia Park for the fifth time. The fundraising goal for this year’s event is set at $65,000.

Families are supported physically, emotionally and financially through basic pregnancy care, parenting education, peer counseling, a homeless prevention program and community referrals. “We provide pregnancy tests and ultrasounds to women who come to us in need of them, and then also give some material assistance like giving formula, diapers, wipes, baby clothes, and we also have an educational arm,” Stoltzfus explained. “People come in for parenting classes, labor and delivery classes, things like that.” The organization has three offices, with the main office being located at 1028 East Lincoln Highway, Coatesville. The other two locations are at 139 W. Market St., West Chester, and 203 S. Walnut St., Kennett Square. Advance packet pickup can be done by visiting the Coatesville office on Friday, Nov. 6. The location is open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays. More information about CCCC is available by visiting www.ccconnectcare.org or by searching for “Chester County Connect Care” on Facebook.

church building was constructed in 1858. It does worship from 9 to 10 a.m. on Sundays, with Sunday school taking place from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. Lou Hornberger is the pastor; he also spoke at the event. “This church has a lot of history, and we’re digging into it,” said Donald McMonagle, a trustee of the church. “Just digging through the histor y of the Evans family, we’ve learned a lot more stuff (about the church) that we were unaware of before. It’s really interesting.” The ceremony was years in the mak ing. K l au s man and company spent countless hours digging through family records and verifying facts with local historians and the historian general in Washington, D.C. “Ever y generation, yo u h ave to h ave t wo documentations, like a marriage cer tificate or maybe a family Bible that someone has, and you have to track it down,” Klausman explained. “Unfortunately, the Welsh double-name their families. Evan Evans, I mean, if you try doing that for three generations, the only way you can do so is tedious. ... In fact, the name passed down so long that I have (another) great-grandfather that fought in the Civil War, and he was Evan Evans.” After all of the research was done, it had to be verified with the historian general. After Klausman got that stamp of approval, she got a family bar number that will be with the descendants of her family forever. “It ’s a pleasure,” she said. “After all these years of researching, I feel very close to him, even though it’s been 250 years.”

runs the church’s military ministry. The ministry is active in the community, holding events like the pasta dinners, as well as “stand down” events on the fourth Saturday of every month in Pottstown, where volunteers feed veterans and give them basic necessities with the help of the Veterans Coalition of Pennsylvania. The ministry also prepares care packages for veterans in need within the local community and helps drive veterans who live alone to their medical appointments. “If you take a veteran that’s elderly, you have a veteran that drives him,” Arantowicz explained. “It gives him someone they can talk to, relate to and share stories. Oftentimes, when these folks are sent to their doctor’s appointments or hospitals, they’ll be put in an Uber or with someone who’s not a veteran, and the Uber person won’t even talk to them.” For the pasta dinner, members of the church will prepare their finest pasta

dishes to share with the assembled patrons. Arantowicz said there will be a capellini dish, chorizo pasta, spaghetti and meatballs, among other Italian specialties. Several desserts and pies, as well as juice, coffee, water and other refreshments, will be available. “People can go through the line, there’s salad and bread and that sor t of stuff,” Arantowicz said. “Everybody kind of makes their specialty. Just like a Christmas part when a family gets together, everybody makes their best thing and it’s a feast.” Everybody is welcome to attend the dinner. A freewill donation will be collected; all proceeds will support the military ministry and its efforts. “We have it all decorated out,” Arantowicz explained. “It’s got red, white and blue tablecloths and little toy soldiers. Then I have various flags that I bring out and hang for each branch of service.” There will also be a basket draw ing at the event , featuring patriotic items,

candles, candies and some theme d bas kets. One highlight returning from last year’s event is the prized chocolate turkey. “I’ve got a big, giant chocolate turkey that’s about a foot high,” Arantowicz said. “(It) seems to be the prized possession, because everybody seems to tr y and win that. Members of the church will prepare their ...
