Co-Pastors Lead Mellinger Mennonite By Ann Mead Ash

Asked how he and Roger Weaver became co-lead pastors of Mellinger Mennonite Church, 1916 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, Dan Cloyd immediately mentioned the prayer teams that were at work during the church’s pastoral search. “All during the search process, there was a lot of prayer going on, and the group that was praying said to the search team, ‘Maybe you should be thinking about two lead pastors,’” said Cloyd. On Sept. 1, 2019, Cloyd and Weaver began leading the church, leading and overseeing the church ministries, and taking turns preaching. Cloyd is full time at the church, while Weaver is half time. Cloyd oversees the church’s

ministry of congregational life and works with Danielle Hofstetter, who is minister to children and families. Cloyd also oversees administration of the inside of the building. Weaver oversees mission and evangelism, and he works with his wife, Brenda, who is director of youths and young adults. Weaver oversees the trustees who care for the building and grounds. Matt Fahnestock serves as minister of music. Cloyd is originally from Kansas, and he attended Oklahoma Wesleyan University before first venturing to Lancaster County as a Black Rock Retreat employee in the summer of 1984 between his junior and senior year. After graduating, he returned to work at Black Rock before becoming a Bible teacher at Lancaster Mennonite High School (LMHS). He worked at the school until 1987, during which time Roger Weaver (left) and Dan Cloyd are sharing the pulpit as co-lead pastors Mellinger became his home church.

To do their part to keep letter carriers safe and to help them continue to offer consistent delivery service, customers should heed the following tips: All customers should keep their mailbox or mail slot free of ice and snow. This includes the approach to and exit from the area, as well as sufficient space on both sides of curbside mailboxes.

The free throw championship takes place annually with See Free Throw pg 3 “Pure Desire” addresses the principles of sexual addiction. “I ask (clients) to tell me what a chapter was about, what (they) learned, how (they) can apply that in (their lives),” said Santiago. “That helps them (because it) starts transforming them from the inside out. I want them to develop accountability. I use (the series) because it’s effective.” Santiago emphasized that the seminar can be useful for couples that are experiencing any kind of marital strife. “(They may ask) ‘Is it how we communicate? How we manage our finances? Childhood trauma that we haven’t addressed?’ It could be anger, verbal or physical abuse, or emotional abuse,” said Santiago. “There are all kinds of things that can be wrong in a marriage, and (the seminar) will address all of that. Our desire is to encourage and strengthen marriages.” Groups are welcome, and table discounts will be available for larger groups.

Scores of volunteers also were on hand to oversee the event, and 47 well-behaved dogs either ran or walked with their owners. The Polar Bear 5K is the Sierra Club - Lancaster Group’s major fundraiser.

In 2008, he pastored the Lititz Wesleyan Church. In 2015, Cloyd took time off to help care for his father-in-law. He was contacted by the Mellinger search committee in the spring of 2019. Weaver has been involved with Mellinger for nearly 30 years, serving on the preaching team for more than five years. He completed a three-year layperson’s educational program offered through the Lancaster Mennonite Conference called The Step Program in 2014. Lancaster Mennonite Conference is now known as LMC - a fellowship of Anabaptist churches. Weaver was surprised to be nominated for pastor, and he was unsure of taking on the role. “I always saw myself serving as a layperson,” said Weaver, who has worked in masonry most of his adult life. “I never saw myself as

serving in a (pastoral) role.” As time passed and the search committee continued to return to Weaver as a candidate, he began to see things differently. “It became evident that the Lord was leading in this, and it was humbling and scary,” he said. When the search team asked the two men how they would feel about serving together, both responded favorably. Looking ahead, the two pastors have been examining the concepts of community, connection, authenticity, identity, and growth. “We feel like there are some key basics the church ought to be about based on Scripture,” noted Cloyd, who added that loving God, loving neighbors, and preaching the Gospel to all the world are among those. “ We want to focus on the basics (because) if the church can do these things well, we will be a healthy church,” he said. Mellinger Church holds Sunday school each Sunday at 9 a.m., with worship at 10 a.m. Emmaus Road Café, located on the church property, hosts Lifetree Café events as a regular outreach ministry. Triple Tree Church meets in the café as well. The Parent Preschool Center, with more than 40 years of ministry, is housed on the lower floor of the church.

Mosaic from pg 1 Open Houses Set For Jan. 26 And 28 It was four years in the making, but a ceremony on Dec. 6 capped the celebration of the 50th anniversary of St. Leo the Great Catholic School that began in 2015. During the event, the Very Rev. Peter Hahn, pastor of St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, pronounced a blessing on a mosaic that was recently completed in the school’s lobby. Art teacher Kathryn Hemlick designed the mosaic, known as the Seven Sacrament Mosaic, and oversaw its construction, investing more than 600 hours in the project. With the help of more than 350 students, 14,000 pieces of glass were carefully set in place, with the final image depicting the efficacious signs of the Catholic Church. The efficacious signs represent the seven sacraments that are believed to be the lifeforce of God, reaching down and offering the gift of grace, said school principal Christine McLean. “The mosaic art form signifies that God can transform brokenness into beauty. Now that is worth celebrating,” she added. About 50 people, including students in second, seventh, and eighth grades, attended the blessing of the mosaic. Students’ parents also attended, and McLean reported that one parent, visibly moved by the artwork, said, “As soon as you come into our parish school and see

this mosaic hit you, you see our identity. God is a merciful God who wants to affect our lives in a personal and powerful way.” Hemlick was also touched by the event and expressed her gratitude for the support of the school community. “This really was a highlight of my life’s work, but it also was a team effort from the students and families; our pastor, Father Hahn; Principal McLean; and so many others,” she said. Open houses in January will give members of the public the opportunity to view the mosaic and learn about the school, which offers primary education through eighth grade. Families considering enrollment for their children are invited to attend an open house on Sunday, Jan. 26, from noon to 2 p.m. or on Tuesday, Jan. 28, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. or from 6:15 to 8 p.m. A complimentary meal will be served during each session. Readers are asked to register their plan to attend by emailing Alan Schwartz at development@stleos.org. Schwartz also welcomes emails from individuals who have questions or who would like to schedule a personalized visit. Pictured on front: The Very Rev. Peter Hahn (second from left) blessed the Seven Sacrament Mosaic located in the lobby of St. Leo the Great Catholic School in a ceremony on Dec. 6.

OperaLancaster from pg 1 Vocalists Amy Yovanovich, Carolyn McLain, Heidi Shannon, and Kristin Sims will be accompanied by Maria Thompson Corley. “The program was developed to promote the depth of talent in Lancaster County, which has always been the guiding philosophy of OperaLancaster and an important reason to support the organization today,” said Sims. “On a purely selfish note, I wanted to collaborate with these four wonderful musicians, who also happen to be generous, kind people within the community.” Sims described the program’s setting as a casual evening between friends, sharing music that speaks to real life, such as falling in love, heartbreak, and humorous secrets. Guests will be treated to well-known opera arias such as “O mio babbino caro” from Puccini’s “Gianni Schicci,” “Mon coeur s’ouvre a ta voix” from Saint-Saens’ “Samson and Delilah,” and “Laurie’s Song”

from Copland’s “The Tender Land.” Songs from musical theater productions “Jekyll and Hyde,” “The Music Man,” and “Oklahoma!” will also be included. The vocalists will primarily perform solo, but there will be three duets, and a group number will conclude the concert. “One of the duets is between the singer and the pianist. It’s very funny and will highlight Maria’s many talents,” Sims remarked. Tickets may be purchased at www.operalancaster.com until 5 p.m. on Jan. 17. Ticket sales will resume at the church beginning at 5:30 p.m. OperaLancaster was founded in 1952 as The Lancaster Opera Workshop.

came back to the area. Tracey went to Word of Life Bible Institute in Pottersville, N.Y., for a year after graduating from high school. She then attended Houghton College in Houghton, N.Y., for a year before earning an associate degree at the New Mexico Military Institute. She received an appointment to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. She finished with a Bachelor of Science, graduating as a commissioned officer and working on fighter jets. She served in the first Gulf War and the Bosnian War, and she lived in England, Italy, Germany, and Turkey. She followed her service career by working for Applied Materials in Austin, Texas, while she earned a Master of Business Administration in global management from the University of Phoenix. When LBC instituted its doctoral program, Tracey decided to earn her doctorate. She entered the program at the end of August in 2015. Unfortunately, the timing was tumultuous. “I had just been through a shift with the business and lost my older brother,” recalled Tracey. “I came into it really broken.” Rather than becoming discouraged, Tracey found solace in her studies. “The dissertation program was a source of inspiration and encouragement and camaraderie,” said Tracey. “When you’re hurting as a leader (and) you talk to other leaders, and they say, ‘Keep the faith. We’re going through (this too),’ it is a sense of great comfort.” Tracey’s dissertation was titled “Leader Emergence in an Organizational Crisis - A Case Study of Follower Self-Efficacy.”

“Self-efficacy (means) motivation,” explained Tracey, who, as part of her research, studied a merger that almost did not occur. “In the merger, 90% of what went wrong could have been seen with due diligence,” she said, adding that she had a revelation about halfway through the program. “(I realized that) if you don’t have self-motivated followers, (it doesn’t matter) if you’re the greatest leader in the world,” she said. “Leadership is a dance. I learned that leadership is not as important as finding good followers.” Going forward, Tracey hopes to use what she has learned to work with organizations that are thinking of going through a merger. “I’d like to do premerger counseling,” she said. “(A merger) is a professional marriage,” said Tracey who plans to marry in early 2020. “I would love to do organizational reconnaissance, and tell (companies) which employees are on board, which need to get on board, and which will never get on board. As human beings, we don’t always see the big picture.” LBC’s doctoral program students can complete the 30-credit program in as little as two years. Courses are delivered in a blended format, offering the flexibility of online education and the benefit of only one three-week residency component. Students complete the program in a cohort community of about a dozen students. Tracey took part in the fifth cohort.

MCC To Mark Anniversary With “Winter Warm-up” Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) will kick off its 100year anniversary celebration in 2020 by bringing together volunteers to make 6,500 comforters on one day - Saturday, Jan. 18 - during an event known as The Great Winter Warm-up. Locally, the MCC East Coast office has set an additional goal of collecting 5,000 comforters during January, so events are scheduled before and after Jan. 18. The region has many MCC supporters who donate comforters throughout the year, including members of the Plain community, which spurred the added challenge. The Great Winter Warm-up January events will jump-start MCC’s supply of comforters, which are sent to people in crisis around the world each year. In 2018, MCC sent more than 53,000 comforters as a practical message of love and compassion in the name of Christ. East Coast supporters generated nearly 30,000 of those comforters for MCC’s ministries. During The Great Winter Warm-up events, volunteers are

invited to help knot comforters as they celebrate MCC’s centennial. Participants will work together to combine handmade comforter tops, warm batting and sturdy backing fabric into warm, durable and beautiful comforters. The squares of fabric that make up the comforter tops have already been sewn together. Events have been scheduled at four locations in Lancaster County. Volunteers may gather on Thursday, Jan. 16, and Monday, Jan. 20, from 1 to 8 p.m. at Erisman Mennonite Church, 8 S. Erisman Road, Manheim. A light supper will be provided. More details are available by contacting Janet Runion Patton at 717-926-4008 or jcpatton99@gmail.com.

More details are available from Garden Spot Village Resident Services at 717-355-6000. On Friday, Jan. 24, at Lancaster Mennonite New Danville Campus, 393 Long Lane, Lancaster, students will work on comforters during the day, and the public is invited to help finish them from 3 to 4:30 p.m. For more information, readers may contact Lindsay Carson at 717-872-2506, ext. 3002, or carsonlb@lancaster mennonite.org. Additionally, in Dauphin County, comforters will be made on Saturday, Jan. 11, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Harrisburg Brethren in Christ Church, 2217 Derry St., Harrisburg. Coffee, tea and water will be provided, but attendees should bring their lunch. For more details, readers may contact Kim Mumper at

tassier59@gmail.com. Donations of comforters are welcome throughout the year. Individuals and sewing groups can make comforters anytime, using the instructions at www.mcc.org/comforters or join other comforter makers at the regional MCC Material Resources Center in Ephrata.

Today, MCC provides humanitarian relief, encourages sustainable development and strengthens peacebuilding initiatives in more than 50 countries. Comforters and blankets have been part of MCC’s relief resources ever since the end of World War II.

LHOP Announces Leadership Change

8 - MERCHANDISER - Manheim Township Edition - January 8, 2020

Two Columbia Branches Of Church Organize The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced that its two Columbia Branches (Spanish) are now recognized as independent congregations of the Church. Located in York and Lancaster counties, these groups were divided into two independent Spanish-speaking branches and organized with new leaders on Oct. 29, 2019. The Spanishspeaking branches have grown enough to be recognized as independent congregations. Previously, the branches shared one branch president and two counselors. Now each has a branch president and two counselors. The former Columbia Branch (West) of York County, 2100 Hollywood Drive, was renamed the Queen Street Branch (Spanish). President Ángel Díaz was sustained as branch president, replacing president Matthew Gogna. Diaz’s counselors are first

counselor José Jiménez and second counselor Ricardo Ureña. Vladimir Miranda is the branch clerk of finance for all of the York County units. The church’s boundaries coincide with the Dover Branch and the Shrewsbury, York, and West York Ward boundaries. The second Spanish-speaking congregation, formerly called the Columbia Branch (East) of Lancaster County, is now named the King Street Branch (Spanish), 1210 E. King St., Lancaster. The King Street Branch’s boundaries coincide with the boundaries of the Elizabethtown, Ephrata, Lancaster, and Lititz wards. The King Street Branch was organized with president Carlos Juárez called as branch president. Isaac Galarza is the first counselor, and Jaime Castellanos is the second counselor. Serving as branch clerk of finance for all of Lancaster

Audrey Shutter of Royer’s Flowers & Gifts displays some of the 1,000-plus holiday cards and coloring pages the company collected for area veterans in conjunction with the Holidays for Heroes program of the American Red Cross. Royer’s collected the cards and coloring pages from the public throughout November in each of its stores. This year, the Red Cross distributed holiday cards to more than 700 veterans in 30 locations in its greater Pennsylvania region. One of those locations is Frey Village, a continuing care retirement community in Middletown, where the Red Cross and Royer’s hosted a holiday party for 18 veterans on Dec. 16.

Royer’s Collects Holiday Cards For Veterans

Harnish is a graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School and is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Each year, the EU simulation conference addresses a different policy focus. This year, students debated two directives: one on digital privacy and services and another on the proposed Just Energy Transition Fund to help European countries that rely heavily on coal and other fossil fuels transition to clean energy by 2050. Students began the fall semester by studying the history, culture, and current political environment of Portugal and Cyprus, the countries they were assigned to represent at the conference. Participants also studied how the EU operates, as well as its history and current issues and tensions.
