Solid Rock Celebrates 25 Years BY COURTNEY MENGEL

his year, Solid Rock Youth Ministries is celebrating 25 years of serving the Quarryville community. Solid Rock Youth Ministries strives to earn trust through authentic mentoring relationships with kids in kindergarten through 12th grade so lives can be changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To accomplish this mission, Solid Rock offers several activities throughout the year, including after-school programs, art and drama programs, family fun events, and more. It all started in 1997, when Clair and Jackie Myers felt called by the Lord to provide kids in the community with the opportunity to worship together, so they formed a Friday night youth group.

From Saturday, March 12, to Thursday, March 17, Quarryville residents can participate in a St. Patrick’s Day themed scavenger hunt.

In 2021, the Quarryville Borough hosted a variety of contests for Quarryville residents. “We decided to plan these events to boost morale and get the community to come together in spite of what’s going on,” explained Michelle Evans, administrative assistant for the Quarryville Borough. There have been three contests so far, which asked participants to create art from sidewalk chalk, write a “What Are You Thankful For?” essay, and display their Christmas lights. The Quarryville Borough decided to continue this initiative and has

announced its next themed contest to bring people some luck in time for St. Patrick’s Day. From Saturday, March 12, to Thursday, March 17, Quarryville residents can participate in a scavenger hunt for 12 four-leaf clovers, which will be placed outside and within the borough’s limits. No clovers will be hidden on residents’ private properties. Participants can either visit the borough’s municipal building, 300 St. Catherine St., Quarryville, or email Evans at evansm@ quarryvilleborough.com for a list of clues. Answers are due by 3:30 p.m. on March 17. Participants must write their answers on the list of See Scavenger Hunt pg 3
