Peter’s Porch Active In Lititz By Ann Mead Ash
For at least five years, pastor Rodney Martin of Lititz Mennonite Church, church member Bev Knight, and several volunteers from the area have been opening Peter’s Porch to Lititz residents. Peter’s Porch offers breakfast, a children’s clothing bank, and a food pantry to those in need. “Anyone is welcome,” said Martin, who noted that everything at Peter’s Porch is free. Peter’s Porch, which is open every second Saturday of the month from
8 to 10 a.m., is a ministry of the church, which is located at the corner of Water and Front streets in Lititz. Peter’s Porch is not held in August because the second Saturday coincides with the Lititz Rotary Club Craft Show, and the church youth group uses the parking lot as a fundraiser. According to Knight, the breakfasts generally include scrambled eggs, pancakes, and muffins. Selections may also include bread pudding and baked oatmeal. “The cook
Small Cast BIG Message LBC Prepares To Stage “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” By Ann Mead Ash
“If I was getting the abuse Charlie Brown gets from friends and (his sister), Sally, I would not be as even keeled and tempered as he is,” shared David Felty. “I would be upset. (But Charlie Brown) stays the course and is true to his character and, in the end, even Lucy, his biggest nemesis, realizes that he is a great guy.” Felty is advising Lancaster Bible College (LBC) junior Cassidy Wray Martin, who is directing the production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” The play will be staged in the Good

Program Provides Computers For Refugees Triple Play - GOTR Plans Multiple Activities By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“I really enjoy helping people with their English and helping them meet their personal and professional goals,” said Danny Gingrich, who works as an English as a Second Language (ESL) tutor at Alpha and Omega Community
Center (AOCC), 708 Wabank Road, Lancaster. In recent years, Gingrich’s desire to help others has expanded from English tutoring to matching individuals with computers. Gingrich noted that he uses a lot of websites that offer free grammar lessons in his tutoring sessions, and he thought it would be helpful for his students to practice on their own at home. However, with most of his students being refugees with limited incomes, buying computers was not an option for them. See Program pg 2
