Lampeter United Methodist Church, 1101 Village Road, will hold an art and craft market on Saturday, Nov. 2. The church is looking for crafters who make handmade crafts of good quality. Enough jewelers and artists have been found, as well as those making hand-sewn, knit and crocheted items, so other types of crafters are sought. Readers interested in selling crafts may email Mary H. Dale at mhdale48@gmail.com by the Tuesday, Oct. 1, deadline and write Craft Market in the subject line. SOCIAL GATHERING

COPS Study Will Examine The Life Of Christ “(Change of Pace South) is a unique group of women who are unified because of Jesus, and I love that we are from all different churches and places in our spiritual journeys because we come together for the same goal, which is to grow closer to Jesus,” remarked Laurel Keyer, who attended her first Change of Pace South (COPS) Bible study this past year. Keyer noted that the weekly meetings offered a safe place to be herself and to grow. “It was nice to connect with women of all ages and know I could bring my needs to the group and people genuinely cared and prayed for each other,” she said. “It’s a refreshing morning to take time out with God and other adult women, and (it was) nice to have good child care so my little one is cared for in a

peaceful environment.” The fall session of COPS will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 25, and will meet every following Wednesday for 10 additional weeks, concluding with a special celebration on Dec. 4. Meetings will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at Providence Church, 269 Cinder Road, New Providence. Supported by the Friendship Foundation, COPS is an interdenominational community women’s group open to anyone, including those completely new to Bible study. Each Wednesday gathering will include breakfast refreshments, a time of worship with music, a video teaching session, and small group discussion. A prayer group will also meet throughout the morning, and women will be welcome to attend at any time. See COPS Study pg 12
