Great American Birthday Quilt Unveiling In Williamsburg
Ephrata residents Lori Weaver and Mallory Weaver participated in a meaningful nationwide creative effort that culminated on Saturday, April 11, with the unveiling of the Great American Birthday Quilt in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Mallory, who also spoke at the unveiling event, said she first learned about the project through a radio commercial and encouraged her mother, an experienced quilter, to participate. Working together, Mallory selected the fabrics while Lori assembled the pieces. The mother-daughter duo submitted three quilt squares as part of their collaboration. Their three blocks reflect different facets of American identity. One incorporates traditional patriotic elements such as red-and-white stripes, a wedge star pattern, and agricultural imagery, alongside fabric referencing

history. The third square draws on baseball as “America’s pastime,” with fabrics inspired by summer days in Philadelphia cheering on the Phillies.
The quilt itself is a tribute to the nation’s 250th anniversary and far exceeded its original scope. Organizers initially planned for a 250foot quilt, but overwhelming participation from across the country expanded the project dramatically. With more than 2,000 quilt block submissions, the final piece now stretches an impressive 500 feet. Each square contributes to a broader narrative, reflecting diverse stories and perspectives that celebrate America’s history and identity.
The quilt will be exhibited in rotating sections through the end of the year at the Colonial Williamsburg Regional Visitor Center.
Shown in the photo are participants walking the quilt from Merchant Square to the Colonial Williamsburg Regional Visitors Center.

Great teachers go above and beyond for their students. Students benefit from those efforts in the classroom, but many adults also can name one, two or even more educators whose lessons and enthusiasm for learning has benefitted them long after the final bell rang on their academic careers.
The efforts of teachers who go the extra mile for their students are worthy of recognition and appreciation. Families who want to express their gratitude to teachers can do so in any number of ways.
• Write a note. A personal note from a student or parents or both can warm the hearts of teachers. Personal letters may not be as common as they once were, but they remain a thoughtful way to express gratitude and appreciation to people who have had a positive impact on a person’s life. That makes a personal, handwritten note an ideal and meaningful way for families to show their appreciation for a teacher.
• Pitch in at school when the opportunity presents it-
self. Teachers seek a helping hand at various points in a given school year. A teacher might ask for volunteers to assist with holiday parties or special school events or even request help coming up with extra school supplies or items needed for a particular project. In fact, a recent survey from the Association of American Educators found that public school teachers
gift from the class around the holiday season and/or at the end of the year can let teachers know their efforts have not gone unnoticed. By pooling their resources, parents can give teachers an especially nice gift. A night out at a local restaurant or tickets to a show can make for a well-deserved excursion for educators who often work long past the school day to help students learn.
spend an average of $673 per year of their own money on school supplies. Parents can express their appreciation for teachers by responding with enthusiasm to requests for supplies, When responding, parents can ask teachers if there’s anything else they can do to help and offer to volunteer their services during class parties.
• Organize a class gift. A
• Contact higher-ups at the school. An email or phone with a school principal or another higher-up in the local school system is another way for parents to ensure the efforts of a teacher are recognized. Let the higher-ups know when a teacher has made a positive impact on a child and how much their efforts are appreciated.
Many teachers go to great lengths to support their students. Families can recognize those efforts in a host of meaningful ways that will let educators know how much they’re appreciated.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 cups corn kernels
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ cup green onion, thinly sliced
½ cup cilantro
¼ cup crumbled Cotija or feta cheese
Add the minced garlic to a small bowl and cover it with the lime juice. Set aside to allow the lime juice to soften the garlic’s flavor.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over
medium. Add the corn to the hot skillet and sprinkle with salt. Stir the corn well to coat with the oil and salt.
Spread the corn into an even layer in the skillet and allow it to sit without stirring for 2 minutes to develop a charred color. Toss the corn and repeat this process two more times, flattening evenly and letting it sit for 2 minutes each time to get the charred effect on all sides.
Remove the corn from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream and smoked paprika. Add in the soaked garlic and lime juice; stir together.
Pour dressing over the warm corn and stir to combine. Stir in the green onions and cilantro. Fold in the crumbled cheese. Sprinkle with more smoked paprika to serve.

EBBES
The Suabians are artists with words. A hundred times each day they use the same word and each time they use it in a different sense. What is this little word? It is “Ebbes” (something). Do you know what “Ebbes” is?
This week, through the courtesy of Herb and Bea Fredrickson of Myerstown, we are able to demonstrate the kaleidoscopic meanings and uses of “Ebbes” in Suabia (“Schwoweland”). “Die Schwowe,” as they are known in our Mudderschprooch, lived and, of course, still live in “Schwoweland,” a province which for the greater part forms the Eastern border of the Palatinate (“die Pfalz”), the linguistic homeland of the Pennsylvania Dutch in Southwestern West Germany.

All Authority
By: J. Jefferson
“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.’” - Matthew 28:18 All of mankind is subject to the authority of Christ. This was the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy made centuries earlier (Dan. 7:13-14), and was the basis for Peter’s statement made days later on Pentecost: “Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified” (Acts 2:36). Paul, Peter, and the writer of Hebrews also proclaimed the ulti-
mate authority of Christ. Read these verses…
“For God has put all things in subjection under his feet” (1 Cor. 15:27a).
“That He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things under His feet and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” (Eph. 1:2023)
“Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth” (Phil. 2:910).
“And you have been filled in Him, who is the head of all rule and authority” (Col. 2:10).
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by his Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things…” (Heb. 1:1-2).
“You made Him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned Him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under His feet. Now in putting everything in subjection to Him, He left nothing outside His control…” (Heb. 2:7-8a).
Isn’t it interesting how so many who claim to follow Christ choose to unrepentantly disobey him and rebel against his commands and teachings?
For example, most of the professed followers of Christ in Christendom deny many of the teachings and commands Jesus gave right after declaring He had all authority (Matt. 28:18-19), and that Jesus had authorities and powers subject to Him (1 Pet. 3:21-22).
What did Jesus say?
“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” (Luke 6:46)
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness’” (Matt. 7:21-23). Isn’t it interesting how we want Jesus to be our Savior…and we CALL him our Lord…but we like to pick and choose which of His commands to obey? Regardless of what we say to ourselves to fool ourselves, Jesus IS Lord. He HAS all authority. If we go to heaven, it will be both by His grace and because we penitently obey ALL of what He has told us to do.

* On April 27, 1521, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan was killed during a tribal skirmish on Mactan Island in the Philippines. Earlier in the month, he had met with the local chief on the Philippine island of Cebu, who, after converting to Christianity, had persuaded the Europeans to assist him in conquering a rival tribe on a neighboring island. During the ensuing conflict, Magellan was hit by a poisoned arrow and left to die by his retreating fellow fighters.
* On April 28, 1953, inventor Howard Ross received a patent for a useful, if rather curious, garment called a “double coat,” with an outer layer that could be extended to cover two people at a time in athletic stadiums when it rained.
* On April 30, 1977, more than 2,000 protesters carrying signs saying, “Split Wood, Not Atoms” and “Go Fishing, Not Fission” occupied the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant construction site in New Hampshire. More than half were taken into custody in what became one of the largest mass arrests in U.S. history.
* On May 1, 1958, the United States celebrated its first Law Day after President Eisenhower announced the observance to honor the role of law in the country’s creation. Three years later, Congress followed suit by passing a joint resolution establishing May 1 as Law Day.

Fairmount Community Book Sale To Include Rare/Collectible Selections
The Fairmount Homes Book Sale is back—and this year marks the largest sale to date. Taking place Friday, May 15, from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m., and Saturday, May 16, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., the event will be held in the Farm Crest Community Room, 1100 Farm
Crest Drive, on the east side of campus. The public is invited to attend, with all books offered at half price on Saturday.
Shown in the photo, from left to right, are Kirstin Patterson, Communications Manager; Kent Richard, Vice President of Opera-
tions; and Mitchell Hanna, Director of Marketing & Communications.
Organized by Kent Richard, Vice President of Operations, the book sale supports Fairmount’s Sharing Fund. This fund helps bridge the gap between the cost of care and what residents are able to pay after their financial resources have been exhausted.
Thanks in part to Fairmount’s ongoing cottage ex-
“This is the biggest book sale we have ever had,” said Richard. “We’ve been collecting donations for a year and a half, and everything in the sale is new—nothing has been held over from previous years. The community has been incredibly generous.”

Every 15 Minutes Program In Ephrata Includes Simulated Crash Scene
The Every 15 Minutes program was presented to Ephrata High School students on Thursday, April 23 and Friday, April 24. Students in grades 11 and 12 were exposed to real-life experiences and motivational learning opportunities. Ephrata High School incorporates this program every two years, which includes simulated car crashes and real-life content
meant to expose students to events which could occur when driving distracted or under the influence. Additionally, a group of students will attend a Thursday afternoon retreat to participate in team-building activities. These students will also write letters to their families that start off with the statement, “Here’s what I don’t tell you on a daily ba-
sis, but maybe I should…”
An assembly on Friday concludes the two-day event where students read the letters they wrote aloud to their family members and classmates. Community members personally affected by related incidents will also speak to students and share their first-hand, inspirational messages.
An Ephrata Area Education Foundation Venture Grant funds this program, and many area businesses contributed by donating additional funds, materials, and personnel needed to successfully execute the event. Every 15 Minutes is a national program that was created in the 1980s. The title comes from the statistic that every 15 minutes, car colli-
sion fatalities occur as a result of drunk driving or texting while driving. The event is designed to instill in teenagers the consequences of poor decisions.
The students who were directly involved in planning and simulating the activities were: TJ Breckbill, Cali Burkholder, Emily Come-

Approximately 50 Fairmount residents will volunteer their time to sort materials into more than a dozen categories, including history, biography, large print, reference, health and nutrition, self-help, fiction (both Christian and general), hobbies, gardening, local interest, Christian non-fiction, theology, devotionals, cookbooks, Anabaptist materials, vintage books, magazines, music, and puzzles.
This year’s sale includes an especially large selection of children’s books and Christian theology resources—
In addition to general inventory, the sale will feature a number of rare and collectible items, including books printed in the 1800s and locally significant publications. Among the highlights are an 1837 English Martyr’s Mirror printed in Lancaster, an 1805 Die Wandlende Seel printed in Germantown, and several historic German-language texts. Two volumes feature bookplates from Barbara Ebersole, a well-known local Amish artist.
“We’ve had people asking about the next sale for over a year,” Richard added. “They appreciate the quality and the values reflected in the books we offer.”
All proceeds from the event benefit the Sharing Fund, directly supporting Fairmount residents. For more information about Fairmount Homes, visit FairmountHomes.org.
Ruth E. Coldren, 97, formerly of Reinholds, passed away on Monday, April 20, 2026. Ruth was a resident at Luther Acres in Lititz and enjoyed her community of friends there for the past ten years.

cook and baker, and her kitchen was the heart of many family gatherings. Ruth especially loved holidays and traditions that brought everyone together. Her egg hunts— joyfully competitive for both kids and adults—became a beloved family hallmark along with her incorporation of one of her favorite games, BINGO, into Christmas. She was also a gifted gardener. A woman of faith, Ruth was a member of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Church in Ephrata.
Ruth is survived by her two daughters, Diane E. Martin of East Earl and Donna Harris (Robert) of Lititz; her grandchildren Amy Rohrbaugh (Michael), Jen Martin, Matt Harris (Chelsea) and Pam Boice (Jordan); and her great-grandchildren Paxton, Hudson, and Ryleigh. She is also survived by two brothers, Paul Gantert and Robert Gantert. Ruth was preceded in death by her sister, Frances Redcay, and her son-in-law, Dwight Martin.
A celebration of life and family visitation will be held at Good Sipler Funeral & Cremation Centre, Inc., 34 N. Reamstown Rd., Reamstown (Stevens) at a later date to be determined by family. Ruth’s final resting place is Pleasant View Cemetery, Sinking Spring.
