Student Spotlight
Martin
Hinkletown Mennonite
Brooklynn Martin 8th Grade
Written by: Trent Weaver
If anyone is looking for a star, they should look for Brooklynn Martin! Brooklynn is in 8th grade and attends Hinkletown Mennonite School. Her parents are Eric and Rita Martin, and she attends Weaverland Anabaptist Faith Community. She has a bunny, two cats, and a dog. Brooklynn values participating in extracurricular activities. She plays volleyball for the Hinkletown Hawks. She also plays the cello skillfully and loves to read, but her favorite past-time is acting.
In 2024, HMS put on the play, Robin Hood. She took on the role of Salome, an energetic, creative teenager who was the sheriff’s daughter. In 2025, Brooklynn played Robin, the shy assistant director, until she wasn’t. Brooklynn has been acting for four and a half years, in multiple places. Her first play was for Piercing Word Camp. At the camp, they were separated into groups and given a 15 minute skit to perform. At the end, they would combine them into one long play. While Brooklynn is not sure what profession she wants to pursue when she is older, she does plan to go to Garden Spot High School. She has also considered going into the missions field. Whatever her future holds, Brooklynn plans to keep on acting!
Shantell Wenger 7th Grade
Shantell Wenger is a student at Ephrata Mennonite School. She is in 7th grade. The things she likes best about school are interacting with her friends and the spiritual life block DEAR, which is a time, twice a week, when secondary students get to read for half an hour.
She played on the middle school volleyball team and is currently playing on the middle school basketball team. Even though she plays both sports she says that she prefers volleyball.
Shantell attends Crosspointe Mennonite Church, a branch off of Faith Mennonite Fellowship.
When asked what is her greatest accomplishment, she was not sure but is very proud that her basketball team has not lost a game yet.
Shantell’s favorite class is math. She likes the way the teacher makes it fun and engaging. She said that math comes easy for her so that makes it fun.
The people in her life who she admires are her parents and grandparents. She likes the way they are caring and love her, and she can always count on them to provide and let her do the things she enjoys.
Written by: Chayla Fox
After school she is not planning on going to college but pursuing a career at either Fox Meadows, Big John’s Catering, or a coffee shop.
Shantell is an outgoing person with many talents. She is always seen hanging out with her friends, laughing, and having a good time.

Cocalico School District Athletic Department Recognized
The Cocalico School District Athletic Department was recently identified as a 2025 recipient of the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA) Quality Program Recognition at the Exemplary Level. Mr. Roger Czerwinski, Director of Athletics, accepted the award on behalf of the department at the National Athletic Director Conference this past December.
This recognition was a result of a culture of excellence that is embraced by the student athletes, the coaching staff, trainers, School Board members, administrators, faculty and staff, parents, and the community. To be recognized as a Quality Program, the Director of Athletics had to successfully complete leadership training courses and provide substantial evidence of existing policies, practices, and procedures that meet the criteria in ten Quality Program Assessment categories.
According to Mr. Czerwinski, the culture of excellence at Cocalico is “one that develops wellrounded students prepared for success in realworld settings... and is framed by our ‘Four Pillars Administrative Involvement, Student Involvement, Student Recognition, and Student Outreach.’” In addition, there is a core focus on the development of studentathletes as leaders–on the field, in the classroom, and throughout the community. This past year, a Student
Athlete Leadership Program was implemented. In five, twohour sessions, 12 students were educated and empowered on how to succeed in their roles as captains, mentors, and role models.
Congratulations to the Cocalico Athletic Depart
ment for building strong relationships, instilling core values, and creating purposeful opportunities for student growth. As a result of this culture of excellence, Cocalico’s studentathletes are not only excelling on the field or court, but they are also making an impact in the
and greater community.

“Misplaced Trust”
Author: Wenger
Scripture: Luke 18:9“They trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others.”
Last week we discovered how the Pharisees mistakenly believed they were righteous in themselves. To quote last week’s closing paragraph in review; The Pharisees “trusted in themselves that they were righteous.” When we examine their teaching, we find they esteemed their own belief system over the word of God. They used that system to justify disobedience to the word. They counted their bloodline in Abraham to secure heaven. They looked righteous on the outside but inside were filled with lawlessness and deceit.
Let’s just take a minute to see how the unbeliever may, and often does, follow this same pattern when the topic of salvation is raised. Although people may or not be as defiant as the Pharisee, the arguments are the same. Lots of people think they are basically good, not guilty of the big sins. They may in fact be highly moral, fine and upstanding. However, good isn’t the standard, perfection is. Christ was the perfect, sinless substitute. He died in our place, taking our sin upon Himself, giving the believer His righteousness. Good people don’t go to heaven, bad people do. When we realize our lost estate and personal sin, we see our need of the Savior, and embrace his free forgiveness. Then, and only then, are we fit for the kingdom. So, don’t trust in yourself that you are righteous. You’re not! Next up, many people highly esteem their own beliefs and despite what the scripture declares, will not submit to it’s authority. Some people will defer to the faith of their parents, believing it has value on their behalf with God. It doesn’t. Finally, the Pharisee looked great on the outside and was inordinately concerned about appearance. It’s not how we appear at church; its how we behave at home. How are we at
home? Mean, grumpy, a hot head; ruling by fear and intimidation. How do we treat our husband, wife, and children? Are we kind, gentle, patient, joyful, faithful? Do we put others and their needs before ours? Let’s move on, this is too convicting.
The Pharisee was ridiculously pompous… and proud. This shouldn’t surprise us. When a person actually thinks they are righteous (in and of themselves), they have to be proud because pride is the impetus of selfrighteousness. A proud person can do no wrong. They will defend themselves no matter the evidence otherwise. Because the Pharisees were so proud, they would be the first to look for prominent seats in the synagogues and long impressive greetings in the marketplace. This is the opposite of Christ’s teaching on this subject. He said; “But when you are invited, go and sit at the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sat at the table with you.” (Luke 14:10) The lower or least seats would be the ones furthest from the host. This concept is throughout scripture, as Proverbs 27:2 says; “Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own
lips.” Humility is never an attribute of the selfrighteous. The Pharisee was always focused on the outward appearance, rather than the inward reality. It was only about rules, washing of hands, cups, no work on the Sabbath, long public prayers, tithing of even the smallest of their herbs. A classic description of their behavior is in Matthew 23:24; “You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.” This verse highlights the absurdity of obsessive focus on minor issues while ignoring major sins
We can all be guilty of this conduct in varying degrees. The best approach is to be on guard about our attitudes and especially our motives There is no substitute for a healthy consumption of the word of God to identify our shortcomings and guide us away from the damning character of these religious leaders. Next week, we will finish with the natural result of the Pharisaic life; “And they despised others.”

* You can easily extend the amount of ground meat you have with lentils or oatmeal. They maintain a meaty texture and take up some of the flavor of the meat.

Ephrata Rail Trail Bike Park Signage Ribbon Cutting Held
When the Ephrata Bike Park opened in 2019, it made history as Pennsylvania’s first bike park of its kind, featuring 1.5 miles of challenging trails, a skills track, and a pump track. Yet, despite its popularity and proximity to the Warwick to Ephrata Rail Trail, people kept asking the same
question, “Where is the park?” Thanks to funding from Department of Community and Economic Development’s Main Street Matters program and the design and craftsmanship of Horst Signs, that question is officially a thing of the past. This new gateway sign proudly marks the park’s
entrance and welcomes riders of all ages and skill levels. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held recently to unveil this bike park improvement.
Shown cutting the ribbon, from left to right, are Kerry Shoff, Mainspring board member; Mayor Thomas Reinhold; Representative Keith Greiner; Joy Ashley, Executive Director, Mainspring; Karen Gerhart, Borough of Ephrata Manager; Virgil Martin, Horst Sign Company, who designed, built and installed the sign; Sue Gunselman, Mainspring board member; Lyle Beidler, SAMBA volunteer who helps maintain and make improvements to the bike park; and Rachel Bitner, CEO of ENB & Secretary of Mainspring’s Board of Directors.

East Cocalico Lions Club’s Toll Road Proceeds
On Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, the East Cocalico Lions Club of District 14D held their annual Toll Road Collection at the square in Reamstown. Thanks to the generosity of the community, along with a donation from the club, they collected $6,000. The proceeds from this event were divided and was given to the following organizations: Hospice and Community Care, Reamstown Memorial Park Association, PA Breast Cancer Coalition and Ephrata Area Social Services.
At a recent club meeting, after giving a short presentation to the club about their organizations, representatives from each of these organizations were presented with a check in the amount of $1,500.
Shown in the photo, from left to right, are Natalie Kopp (PA Breast Cancer Coalition), Shirley Chapin
(Ephrata Area Social Services), Coco Minardi (Hospice and Community Care), Rebecca and Abby Mummert (Reamstown Memorial Park Association) and Toll Road Chairperson Lion Jan Long.
The East Cocalico Lions would like to thank the community for their support
in this and all their other projects. Donating to worthy organizations such as these is just one of many ways that the East Cocalico Lions “Strengthen the Pride” as they continue to celebrate 82 years of “Lighting the Way” in their community. They continue to make a difference like no other service
organization in the world. If you are interested in finding out more about the East Cocalico Lions or would like to join them with projects such as this one as they “Serve” the community, please call 7173365311 or visit them at www. eastcocalicolions.org. 9 9 9 9
