Auction Will Benefit Youth Mission Trips By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Manor Church, 530 Central Manor Road, Lancaster, will host its 11th annual benefit auction on Saturday, March 16. The doors will open at 8:30 a.m. so guests may register for bidder numbers; enjoy breakfast sandwiches, pastries, fruit, and coffee; and take a look at the numerous items that will be sold to the highest bidders beginning at 9 a.m. Typically, the auction runs until at least 3 p.m. and sometimes until 4 p.m., said Ryan Cobb, pastor of student ministries. He expressed a desire for the event to generate $30,000, which will cover the cost of two mission trips that teams from the youth group will be taking this summer. Seven upperclassmen and three adults will travel to San Juan, Puerto
Rico, from Sunday, June 16, to Friday, June 21. Thirst Missions has connected the team with local churches and pastors, and the group members expect to help with disaster relief in response to Hurricane Maria. Then, a team of 30 students and adults will go to Pittsburgh from Sunday, June 23, to Friday, June 28. This is the third summer that Manor Church has worked with Group Missions to partner with churches and nonprofits in the Pittsburgh area. The team members expect to perform a lot of community service and interact with children at a Boys and Girls Club. “(The most challenging part last year) was leaving,” remarked senior Owen Rohrer. “I worked with the kids (in elementary school). At first, they were shy, but by the end, they didn’t want us to leave. That was hard.” See Manor Church Auction pg 6

MHALC Plans Annual Pasta Fundraiser Dayspring To Host Noted Speakers By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Gathering items to be auctioned at the annual Mental Health America of Lancaster County pasta buffet are (from left) Cat Minnerly, Kim McDevitt, Kristin Labezius, and Charlotte Leckow. This year’s fundraiser will be held at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church on March 8. Dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m. By Ann Mead Ash
One of the reasons Mental Health America of Lancaster County (MHALC) marketing coordinator Charlotte Leckow works so hard gathering items for the
live and silent auctions held during the organization’s annual pasta buffet is that the fundraiser helps support the work of Gretchen Gaudioso, client and family advocate with MHALC, in area schools. See Pasta Dinner pg 9
