SERVING THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES SINCE 1954
VOL XXXVII • NO 29
Neighbors Helping Neighbors BY ANN MEAD ASH
“I am passionate about food justice issues and access to food,” said Jennifer Lancaster, who, along with Elspeth Naramore and several other volunteers, coordinates the Lancaster Brethren in Christ Church Food Pantry. “The food pantry addresses a lot of those issues.” The pantry is open on the third Friday of each month in the gym at the church, 1865 Fruitville Pike, Lancaster, from 3:30 until 5:30 p.m.
To turn the gymnasium into a choice pantry, up to 15 volunteers arrive at the church by 2 p.m. to begin filling half the area with about seven rolling shelves holding a variety of sorted and labeled food items, including cereal and canned foods. Several tables are set up for fresh food, and two freezer units placed near a service window are utilized as well. Donated shopping carts are brought in for the 25 or more families that shop when the pantry is open. See Neighbors pg 8

A Silent “A Season For Wishes” - Live At LMHS Night … Lisa Kalinowski, founder of CoJoA Holy Night Motion Dance Company of the Travel The Road To Bethlehem At Woodcrest BY ANN MEAD ASH
“This is the second year in a row we have a brand-new scene,” said Adam Fox, summer camp director at Woodcrest Retreat. Last year, Journey to Bethlehem organizers added a final scene featuring the wise men. It was so well received that another change was made for 2021. See Woodcrest Retreat pg 3
Rockette-style kicklines will be part of the live “A Season for Wishes” presentation.
Lititz Academy of Dance and the organizer of “A Season for Wishes,” is thrilled to be able to hold a live event this year. “What a blessing!” exclaimed Kalinowski. “This is always so joyous, and we are always so grateful for this opportunity.” The 2020 event was held virtually at Penn Cinema. “After everything that has happened in our world since our last live performance in 2019, there is a whole huge extra layer of gratitude this year,” noted Kalinowski.
