Civil Communication In A Safe Setting By Ann Mead Ash
Jason Perkowski, senior pastor at Faith and Oregon Community United Methodist churches and facilitator of Lifetree Café, Lititz, is on a mission to restore respectful conversation surrounding controversial topics. “The idea for Lifetree Café is to have open-ended conversations with people,” said Perkowski. “Even though the topic may be controversial, all ideas and opinions are welcome.” Lifetree Café, Lititz, is held at The General Sutter Inn, 14 E. Main St., Lititz, each Monday from 7 to 8 p.m. Perkowski noted that participants may purchase from the full menu at each meeting and that the General Sutter donates the venue to the group in order to give back to the community. Recent topics have included “Fatherless: Getting Past the Pain of an Absent or Abusive Dad” and
“Money, Money, Money: Stories From a Lottery Winner.” “(Lifetree Café) makes a space for people to come together and practice having civil conversations about difficult subjects,” said Perkowski. According to Perkowski, each gathering is designed to be an hour long and follows an international curriculum by Group Publishing, an organization that provides training for pastors. “A host leads the conversation, and there will be a video introduction and an opportunity for people to have conversation around the table in small groups,” said Perkowski, who added that the discussion may be followed by a second video or another discussion question. “Sometimes the conversation is just at the small tables, and sometimes there are opportunities for the whole group to talk,” he added, noting that sometimes a designated person from a table shares conclusions with the larger group.

“Isn’t he handsome?” Erika Herold practically gushed. Herold’s praise was not for a significant other or family member. Rather, it was bestowed on 6-month-old yellow Labrador named Woody who was happily rolling in the grass at Herold’s feet. Herold, a logistics analyst at Woodstream Corporation in Lititz, and other Woodstream employees raised $5,000 to sponsor Woody to become a United Disabilities Services Foundation (UDS) service dog. Woody is several months into the BARKS Prison Program, through which he is being trained by an inmate at Moshannon Valley Correction Center See Service Dog pg 5
