Ephrata Fair Fundraising Events Need Your Support
As many locals know, September is “Fair Season,” and for many families in our area, that means the muchloved Ephrata Fair. Run by the Ephrata Farmers Day Association (EFDA), a
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Ephrata Fair has a long-running history that has enabled many local civic organizations to raise support for their individual causes and give back to the commu-
nity. Many local organizations have created a mutually beneficial relationship with the Fair—when the Fair does well, the community does well.
* On April 21, 1794, Josephine de Beauharnais, the future Empress of France and first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror. Released five days after the beheading of her then husband Alexandre de Beauharnais, her marriage to Napoleon ended in divorce after she failed to provide him an heir, but he continued to provide for her, declared her “Empress for life” and allowed her to retain the title of Empress Josephine.
* On April 23, 1961, Judy Garland delivered a Carnegie Hall performance that was greeted by a standing ovation before she even began to sing and was interrupted throughout by additional ovations. That performance has often been lauded as “the greatest night in showbiz history.”
* On April 24, 1953, Winston Churchill was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He retired as prime minister two years later but remained in Parliament until 1964, the year before his death.

is housed at the Barnyard Academy at Tent City during fair week.
The EFDA is committed to
continuing this long-standing tradition, but is now asking for community support to help sustain the Fair for years to come. As time has moved on, the requirements to run such a large event have changed dramatically. Increased costs, changes in regulations, and several
years of inclement weather have started to take their toll on the bottom line of the EFDA. In addition, the Fair incurs approximately $40,000 to $50,000 annually in municipal service costs— including police, public works, and utilities—which are necessary to ensure a safe and successful event but represent one of the Fair’s largest ongoing expenses.
To assist in boosting funds, the EFDA will be hosting several fundraising events over the next few months.
Community members are encouraged to support the
Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley, located at 237-249 West Main Street (Route 322), Ephrata, needs your help!

This week we continue the list of words we culled from the current fascicle of the Pfaelziches Woerterbuch (The Palatine Dialect Dictionary), Volume V, Fascicle 35, which reached us on the second Samschdaag im Yenner.

As we indicated last week, this ECK is not for beginners but rather for those who have an intense interest in our PG vocabulary and its roots in the Palatinate (die Pfalz) in southwestern Germany. It is our hope that those of our readers who love to preserve and use the words of their grandparents will find words here with which they are already familiar or words which remind them of other possibly related words. It is also our hope that some of you word detectives will take
the time to respond to these words and send us sentences and explanations which come to mind as you carefully examine the words and explanations given above. Please forgive us if we did not translate the High German definitions into English. We thought you just might like to see how some of these words are explained in Standard German by the editors of the Pfaelzisches Woerterbuch, Rudolf Post and Josef Schwing, with whom we visited for several weeks in Kaiserslautern in the Palatinate in the spring of 1984. You will note that occasionally we give more than one Palatine form and more than one definition for a given word - that was to make matters more interesting for you. Again, we’d like to remind you that if you were in the Palatinate, which is located in that area of Southwestern West Germany which lies between the Rhine River and France, you would find that the section of the Eastern Palatinate (die Vorgerpfalz), which lies closest to the Rhine River, is the area where the forms and pronunciations of the dialect words most nearly agree with unser Mudderschprooch. We hope this ECK and that of last week will inspire responses from you loyal word detectives. Dir seid die Wadde-Sucher! der acht Daag im Matz 1989 En Bischli-Gnippli as allfatt am Wadde suche is

Sermon Series At First Church Ephrata

The Book of Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament and is a historical account of the early Christian church, beginning with Jesus’ ascension and the subsequent spread of the gospel by his apostles. It is essentially a sequel to the Gospel of Luke, continuing the story of Jesus’ ministry through his followers. They would love to have you continue with them on the series in May.

“Your Testimony”
Author: Wenger
Scripture: John 4:39“Now from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, ‘He told me all the things I have ever done.’”
A mission field doesn’t have to be in a foreign land. I would say that no one should go to a foreign mission field if they don’t bear witness and testimony wherever they currently are. Disobedience doesn’t have to be doing bad things. There are sins of commission (doing what God forbids) and sins of omission (not doing what God asks). We need to take opportunities and make opportunities to share our tes-
timony and the gospel. We need to be like Isaiah, “Here I am. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8 - “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here I am. Send me!’”
There is nothing like sharing God’s truth with others that brings joy and rejuvenation to the believer.
The sharing of our testimony and the gospel must always be motivated by love for people. One person who came off as cold and calculated had this response when he tried to share the gospel with someone; they said, “you don’t give a (***) about me, you just want another scalp to hang on your belt.” Wow! Maybe he was right. We must always leave the door open for the next person. Remember what Paul said, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:6). It is a rare situation that someone trusts Christ on one person’s labor. Notice what Paul goes on to say, “But God gives the increase.” If God isn’t invited
to the work, it is all in vain. The rest of the verse says this, “So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:7). Our job is to pray and share, God’s work is to convict of sin, righteousness and judgment. This should help us to relax. You can’t save anyone, it’s not in your job description. Here is what God says, “When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region” (Acts 13:48, 49). We don’t know who is appointed and who is not so we share like Paul in the marketplace to anyone who will listen. There will be those who want nothing to do with Biblical truth, and that’s ok. Many atheists will eventually come to Christ in the here and now. Eventually, they will by force when “every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess Christ is
Lord.” Those who refuse and don’t want to hear, shake off the dust from your Reeboks and move on. “If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet” (Matthew 10:14). These people actually oppose themselves; they just don’t know it. 2 Timothy 2:24, 25a - “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves.”
Finally, Paul says, “I have become all things to all people to win as many as possible.” It’s never a one size fits all approach, but rather, be flexible, Spirit-led effort to meet people where they are. Everyone is different and unique, we need to allow for that; God does. He made everyone. One last plea; don’t be a stumbling block for anyone or a reason to reject Christ. We all have some hypocrisy in our life, but an old friend said, “You can find plenty of fault in me, but what fault do you see in Christ?” Happy trails in “Your Testimony.”

West Earl Lions Student Of The Month
It’s time for another Student of the Month, a project of the West Earl Lions Club and the Brownstown Elementary School. This award was given to Ezekiel Bohn, son of Miss Yancity and student of Ms. Alexis Mosso, teacher in the Primary Autistic Support classroom.
Ms. Mosso finds that “Zeke” is a kind, hardworking and determined student. He has been working hard to communicate his wants and needs, becoming more independent each day. One of his greatest strengths is his willingness to help others in the classroom and he takes pride in helping others, especially
phone number along with the check. In addition, payment will be accepted via Venmo at Johnnie-K-01. If sending a Venmo payment, please include the participant’s name, phone number and “book hunt” in the description.
In addition to the hunt, there will be a baked goods raffle so you can win some goodies to take home and eat while you are reading your new books. Grounded Coffeehouse in Adamstown will
also have drinks for sale at the event with a portion of the proceeds going to the Johnnie K Foundation. Reagan McCarty, local Etsy shop owner, will have book related crafts also available for sale.
The Johnnie K Foundation is a local 501(c)(3) that was established to remember local community member, John Keene IV and financially assist local families during cancer treatment.
when confronted with challenging tasks in which he shows great perseverance. Zeke is also continuing to build positive interactions with peers, including sharing, taking turns and doing well in group activities. Ms. Mosso is so proud of his progress and the positive attitude he brings to the classroom every day, and Zeke deserves to be recognized as Student of the Month.
The West Earl Lions are also very proud of Zeke and his accomplishments and wish him well.
“How rare and wonderful is that flash of a moment when we realize we have discovered a friend.”

Van Hine. You do not need to read the book to attend the discussion. A practical, heartfelt guide to the art of truly knowing another person and fostering deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout your life.
As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, commu-
nity organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.” And yet all around are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood.
In “How to Know a Person,” Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing essential
questions: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to? Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity and determination to grow as a person, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and the worlds
of theater, philosophy, history, and education to present a welcoming, hopeful, integrated approach to human connection. “How to Know a Person” helps readers become more understanding and considerate toward others, and to find the joy that comes from being seen.
Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmen-
tation, hostility, and misperception. The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them and, in turn, see something larger in ourselves? “How to Know a Person” is for anyone searching for connection, and yearning to be understood.
They will meet from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. (new time from previous meetings) in the Boardroom at the Lititz Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road in Lititz.
Bring your lunch to eat during discussion, if desired. Masks are optional if you choose to attend. If you attended this forum in the past the location has changed, but the focus of the group is the same. Each person obtains materials for the course unless specified in the information provided on the yearly schedule that may change due to conflicts, illness or other emergency. If you are planning on attending, please contact Linda. This will be the last meeting until Thursday, September 10.
The forum discussion series offers a safe learning environment in which to discuss and explore diverse topics and beliefs with respect to everyone sharing. Contact Linda at 717-6260745 or raven303@ptd.net with questions, suggestions or to obtain a new series schedule.
