“A children’s story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children’s story in the slightest” is a sentiment frequently attributed to C. S. Lewis. Connie Hilliar, director of the Warwick High School (WHS) presentation of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” referenced the quote when talking about the upcoming production. “To me that is the epitome of what we’re trying to do (with this play),” said Hilliar. “I want to reach out to all age groups.” WHS will bring “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” to the WHS Performing Arts Center, 301 W. Orange St., Lititz, on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 2 and 3, at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, Nov. 4, at 2 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the door prior to performances. Ticket prices will be discounted for students and senior citizens.
The story, based on the children’s book by Lewis, revolves around the four Pevensie children: Lucy, played by Elise White; Edmund played by Aaron Dickinson; Susan, played by Alaina Fry; and Peter, played by Derek Knudson. The children have been removed from London during World War II as the city is bombed by Germany. They find safety but little amusement in the country home of a professor friend of their parents until one day when the youngest, Lucy, opens a wardrobe and discovers a fantasyland called Narnia, where it is always winter, but never Christmas. The children embark on an adventure that brings them into contact with a number of mythical creatures and a White Witch, portrayed by Stella Newman. The White Witch rules the land instead of the rightful king, Aslan the Lion, played by Bryce Pfeiff. A great battle ensues as the children join forces See WHS Play pg 13
Members of the cast of the Warwick High School production of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” include (from left) Bryce Pfeiff as Aslan, Alaina Fry as Susan, Derek Knudson as Peter, Elise White as Lucy, Aaron Dickinson as Edmund, Stephen Quinones as the Dwarf, and Stella Newman as the White Witch. The show will be staged at the school on Nov. 2, 3, and 4.

“We try to live out the parable of the Good Samaritan. We recognize people … who are hurting and suffering in our communities. We meet them where they’re at, and we respond with generosity and compassion,” said Nate Hoffer, chief executive officer of Good Samaritan Services. Good Samaritan, with locations in Ephrata, Lancaster, Coatesville, and Phoenixville, was founded as the Good Samaritan Shelter in 2002 when several Phoenixville-area churches joined forces to help area residents who were struggling, especially with housing. The Ephrata location provides an 8,000square-foot homeless shelter to as many as 35 women and children per day. The Phoenixville shelter for single See Good Samaritan pg 2

In late 2016 when TTC/Potter’s House approached leaders at Conestoga Church of the Brethren about the possibility of holding a two-part educational program concerning the heroin epidemic in Lancaster County, church members responded. “It’s needed in the community,” said pastor Jere Cassel. The first effort led to a second collaborative workshop in April of this year. According to Cassel, church members then suggested a fall workshop. Cassel met with TTC/Potter’s House ministry director Lanny Millette to discuss content. “The holiday connection was Jere’s idea,” noted Millette. See Workshop pg 3
Nate Hoffer, executive director of Good Samaritan Services, recently spoke at a meeting of the New Holland Area Kiwanis Club. The nonprofit organization helps those facing homelessness in locations in both Lancaster and Chester counties.
