No One Puts the Fun in Fundraiser Like HMS

BY JEFF FALK

It’s as old as the institution itself, it’s the school’s biggest fundraiser, and fundraising provides for one-third of the operating budget. The meaning of Hinkletown Mennonite School’s (HMS) upcoming event can’t be overstated.

In much the same way that the importance of fun and community should not be undervalued.

“Yes, it’s our largest fundraiser, but it’s also our largest community event,” said Maria Chase, the director of advancement for HMS. “It’s people serving alongside one another. The auction is as old as the school, and

its tradition has been maintained. We feel very tied to our community, and we want to support local businesses because they support us.”

HMS will conduct its annual HinkleFEST and benefit auction on Friday, Oct. 10, and Saturday, Oct. 11, on its campus located at

Actions can be moving and influential. They don’t need words.

Silence speaks volumes.

Hope Inspire Love’s Freedom Walk raises awareness and funds for the war on human trafficking and sexual exploitation through the silent treatment.

“It’s really powerful,” said Amy Thurston, who’s been Hope Inspire Love’s CEO and president for the last eight years. “When we hear our community say, ‘We’re glad you’re here,’ it really means a lot. The walk was something we attended in Harrisburg in 2017, and we asked, ‘What are we doing here?’ Everyone wears all black. What we’ve seen is that the community can get behind something that doesn’t cause a ruckus. People want to know why we’re quiet and they want to know why we’re happy in the midst of something so heavy.”

There are so many great causes in Lancaster County. Locally, there are so many life-affirming nonprofits performing life-altering work.

The only thing greater is the generosity of Lancaster County residents.

Faithful Give seeks to link those donors and causes and to enhance that great work.

“Lancaster County has got to be

This year’s sixth edition of the Hope Inspire Love’s annual Freedom Walk will be conducted on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Musser Park, 135 N. Lime St., Lancaster. Concerned walkers can register at https://hopeinspirelove.org/ freedomwalk or at the event the day of.

Bills Is Focusing on Families, His and High View’s

BY GEORGE DEIBEL

Jesse Bills began working on plans to connect with families right around the time he was expanding his own.

Bills’ wife, Julia, gave birth to their son, Judah, on Aug. 1, five days after he became the senior pastor at High View Church of God. Bills had previously served at Pequea Evangelical Congregational Church.

“My wife and I had just felt from the Lord that it was time,” Bills said. “We were at Pequea for four years and just was sensing that it was time. The Lord had kind of released us from there. We wanted to stay in the eastern Lancaster County region but wanted to find just a place that had some more opportunities to reach families and children. When we saw High View was looking for a senior pastor and that they had the preschool, that was what really drew us here.”

He noted that the location of the church, 2470 Leaman Road, Ronks, is ideal. “We’re at the center of the

Tips for Preventing Bathroom Falls

“Danger” might not be the first word to come to mind when individuals consider their bathrooms. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that each year, more than 1.5 million aging adults visit emergency rooms for fall-related injuries, many of which occur in the bathroom.

Many falls and spills that occur in the bathroom can be prevented. Seniors or their loved ones can make some minor adjustments to bathrooms so falls are less likely to happen.

People should install grab bars in their shower and bath and elsewhere, as necessary. Grab bars

make it easier for aging men and women to get into and out of the shower or the tub by giving them something to hold on to.

This assistance can be especially helpful for seniors who must step up and over their tubs to get into the shower. Although grab bars are primarily used in showers and tubs, they also can be installed alongside toilets for seniors who could use a little help sitting down and getting up.

AARP notes that sheltering arm grab bars provide the best support around toilets. Such grab bars come around both sides of the toilet and look similar to armrests.

Seniors may also want to install LED lighting in their bathrooms. Poor lighting in a bathroom can make it hard for seniors to see and thereby make them more vulnerable to falls. Lighting can be especially problematic for seniors who make frequent bathroom visits overnight. Even bathrooms with seemingly adequate lighting may be dangerous if they feature dated light fixtures that rely on incandescent bulbs. These bulbs burn out with greater frequency than LED alternatives, which can last for years. The longer bulbs last, the less often seniors need to change them, which also reduces their risk for injury. In addition to replacing traditional fixtures with LED alternatives, individuals can plug in LED night lights that make it easy to see when making nighttime visits to the bathroom.

Non-slip bath mats can also be a helpful addition to a bathroom. Non-slip bath mats often utilize rubber-backed liners to ensure the mats stay put even when floors get wet or damp from condensation after a hot bath or shower. Non-slip mats can be placed where individuals will enter and exit the shower and even by the toilet and sink to help individuals feel steady on their feet.

Seniors should remember to clean their bathrooms regularly. Bathroom surfaces can grow slippery from soap scum and condensation, and prompt and routine cleaning can reduce the likelihood that seniors will fall in their bathrooms. Seniors who have difficulty keeping up with household cleaning can hire a cleaning service or ask a younger relative to help them.

Seniors can fall anywhere in a home, but they may be more likely to do so in a bathroom. Various measures can help make bathrooms safer for aging individuals.

L-S, CV and Pequea Valley school districts, so we have an opportunity to reach a lot of different areas,” said Bills. “That’s really what drew us here. This is just a nice facility to reach families from.”

Despite Bills’ hectic schedule, the transition has been smooth. “It’s been great so far,” he said. “We’re working to make the connection better with the preschool and connect with those families there and invite them into the church with maybe some parenting and marriage seminars coming up in the future and fellowship events that connect with those families. We’re seeing guests and first-time visitors, and people that have not been here for a little bit since maybe the pandemic have come and been visiting, so it’s been really great start so far.”

Bills plans to start holding family nights in October. “The whole family will be invited, kids, youth, and then their parents to come and have like a time of devotion, snacks, and some

fun games, to hang out,” he said. The congregation recently funded a new playground set. “That was a large investment, and they’re continuing to invest in those types of things to welcome families and just be more welcoming in general,” said Bills.

High View services are held Sundays at 10:15 a.m. “We’ve introduced more of a contemporary style of worship, and that’s been well received,” said Bills. “That doesn’t always go well in churches, but that has been really well received here, and they’ve been open to that. In the past, they had two services. We would love to get back to that if we continue to grow. Right now, we want to continue to move forward and just continue to reach families, I think is a big priority for us.”

Julia will become more active after Judah gets a bit older. “She has gifts for leading worship and using her skills, so she’ll be throwing that in the future,” Bills said.

Bills and the congregation are

starting to look a little way down the road. “In the next year, we will be working through like planning strategically and doing like a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis,” said Bills. “People from the congregation are able to fill out (a questionnaire), and then we kind of pile the data and can create a three-year strategic plan moving forward. That is part of the process. We’re going to be looking through our core values.” Bills expects the congregation to agree to a new mission statement - Helping People Find and Follow Jesus.

Bills, who currently resides in New Holland, grew up in Gap and graduated from Pequea Valley High School in 2009. He sold vehicles for five years. “It was during that time I got my calling to ministry and then went to Evangelical Seminary in Myerstown,” he said. “I just got more involved in my local church as I grew up and grew in my faith, and opportunities were just presented to teach

and preach, which is what I really felt called to initially and loved about it. And as that grew and I had more experience, I had this sense from God that He was leading me to do that full

time. Then others outside of me confirmed that calling and that I had gifts for that.”

we go. Anybody can do this. If you can’t walk, you can support us. We also have survivors walking with us. As we walk, some people become emotional. Some people pray through the walk. When people come back, they feel like they did something.”

The silent 2-mile Freedom Walk, which will start just before 11 a.m. and take about an hour to complete, will begin and end at Musser Park. In a single-file line, walkers traverse the city blocks through Lancaster Central Market and past the Lancaster County courthouse.

The event will also feature live music, a kids’ zone, a display that tells the stories of human trafficking survivors and statistics and information from similar organizations battling human trafficking.

“Every year during the walk, I will jump out of line and thank people, because we can’t do it alone,” said Thurston. “Sometimes that thank you is filled with tears

because the line keeps getting stronger and stronger. I don’t want the line to stop. I want to see it keep getting longer and longer.”

More than 500 concerned citizens from all over Lancaster County and surrounding areas are expected to participate in the Freedom Walk. Hope Inspire Love is hoping to realize $75,000 in proceeds from the walk, which will serve as ammunition in the battle against human trafficking.

“There are people who continue to come back for the Freedom Walk,” said Thurston. “We have individuals who work alongside us. It’s people who have heard about the work. We invite nonprofits from outside the county to participate. Each of us can make a difference in the fight against human trafficking.”

A faith-aligned nonprofit, Hope Inspire Love, which is located at 1380 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster, also hosts a formal gala, which next year will be held on Friday,

In addition, Hope Inspire Love sponsors training events, therapeutic art classes and equine therapy.

“(The Freedom Walk) started with a passion and with a small group of people,” said Thurston, a resident of Manheim Township.

“We saw excitement, and we invited a few nonprofits. Maybe 75

to 100 people came. As it’s grown, we’ve had amazing businesses join. We have kids holding signs that say, ‘I’m not for sale.’ We want our kids to be safe, and this is what it looks like. That’s why we want families to come out.”

Established in 2017, Hope Inspire Love now employs seven individuals - three full-time workers and four part-time workers. The organization, which also makes use of contracted employees and volunteer mentors, is funded through donations from businesses, churches, foundations and individuals, as well as grants.

“(The growth) has been beautiful,” said Thurston. “We’ve expanded how we serve. Now we’re able to serve moms and their kiddos. We have an amazing team that is steadfast in the work, and our community has been behind this 100%. The survivors let us be part of their stories.”

272 Wanner Road, Ephrata. Generally speaking, the HinkleFEST part of the event will be conducted on that Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. and the traditional-style, non-silent benefit auction portion of the fundraiser will be held on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.

“It’s very family friendly. It’s very community-oriented,” said Chase. “It’s kind of like all hands on deck for us as a school community. It’s also somewhat of a homecoming for our alumni. It’s a wonderful time for our community to come alongside of the school.”

As part of HinkleFEST, there are numerous fun and entertaining activities planned, including bouncy houses, a straw playground, barrel train rides, pony rides, a petting zoo and face painting. The school will also introduce its new mascot, the Hinkletown Hawk, and joining that

Faithful Give

one of the most generous counties in the nation,” said Dave Kieffer, president of Faithful Give. “I feel like it gives God glory to highlight every way that Lancaster County needs to be served. There are a lot of people here carrying out Jesus’ ministry. It’s about giving your money, but it’s also about giving your time, treasures and talents. Our goal is to connect the donors and the need.”

Overseen by an eight-member board, Faithful Give is a county-wide, online giving extravaganza that also promotes volunteering, committed prayer partnerships and general feelings of altruism. This year’s Faithful Give will be conducted over three days, from midnight on Sunday, Oct. 19, to midnight on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

Contributors to Faithful Give can donate to a general fund or designate their donations to specific participating causes or nonprofits.

Donations to Faithful Give can be made by credit card, electronic fund transfer or e-check at https://faithfulgive.org/ donate-sponsor.

“Faithful Give exists to support and advocate for faith-based,

biblically faithful organizations in Lancaster County,” said Kieffer. “We’re not designed to compete; we’re focused on Faithful Give and what we do. Healthy competition can improve the outcome for all organizations. Generosity begets generosity.”

Faithful Give is also sponsoring two in-person events as part of this year’s initiative.

The first is a kickoff prayer breakfast that will be held from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 20, at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2151 Oregon Pike, Lancaster. Leaders and representatives of some of the charitable causes will be present to meet donors and answer questions.

Faithful Give will informally conclude its efforts with a community celebration event and expo on Oct. 21 from 5 to 8 p.m. at DOVE Westgate Church, 1755 W. Main St., Ephrata. That family-friendly gathering will feature bounce houses, a strolling magician, balloon animals, face painting, nine holes of miniature golf and fellowship.

nonprofits throughout the year.

Lancaster County people steward their money well. We’re really trying to expand our definition of generosity. The organizations I get behind most are the ones who have won my heart. It helps me to buy into their mission.”

Faithful Give, which does not maintain a physical office, is aiming to raise a total of $2 million for 130 Lancaster County causes like Christian schools, youth and college programs, adult programs, elderly care, human services and overseas organizations headquartered locally. Last year, Faithful Give raised more than $1.568 million from 2,933 donors.

“There are probably a thousand great causes in Lancaster County doing great work,” said Kieffer. “Faithful Give is designed to come alongside nonprofits with a Christian vision or a Christian philosophy of what benefits the community. Our goal isn’t to replace anything else. It’s to

help in ways we can and feel called to.”

“The youth will be educated,” continued Kieffer, “the homeless will be cared for, families will find resources they need, the arts will be advanced in a way that will help the community, houses will be built, and early education programs will be supported. Some of these ministries cross over.”

Since its inception in 2023, Faithful Give has raised more than $2.3 million for local nonprofits.

“I think Lancaster County has a rich heritage of biblically led, faithful-led nonprofits,” said Kieffer. “Faithful Give exists to celebrate and nurture that and protect that mission for the future. Since it was started, it’s grown in number and in quality. It’s also grown in reputation. I think we’ve grown in trust with our donors, and we’ve grown in trust with our causes. We’ve delivered on what we’ve promised.”

Bills stated that he plans to remain at High View for a long time. “We were looking for a place that we could grow our family and raise our family with, and we think High View fits that bill so we want to be here for the long term. We really wanted to stay in this eastern Lancaster region, so we don’t see ourselves going anywhere else as the Lord leads.”

Senior Citizens’ Group To Meet

The Strasburg Area Senior Citizens will hold the group’s monthly meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 1 p.m. at the Strasburg Fire Hall, 203 Jackson St., Strasburg. Lunch will be provided by Hope Baptist Church of Strasburg following the meeting.

Guests are welcome. There is a nominal registration fee at the door to cover the fire hall rental.

School officials are hoping to realize $95,000 from the event, and those proceeds will help fund a new electronic scoreboard for HMS’ soccer field. In the past, the HinkleFEST and benefit auction proceeds have helped the school purchase a kiln, a greenhouse and new playground equipment.

“It’s a very important part of our fundraising efforts,” said Chase, a resident of Eden. “It bridges the gap between education and families, and it helps keep the school as affordable as possible. We use the money raised to fund our school year.”

There are currently 293 students enrolled at HMS. The school employs 55 workers, 25 of whom are teachers, as well as aides, administrators, office staff and bus drivers.

In 1980, eight Hinkletown-area families pooled their resources and talents to establish Hinkletown Mennonite School. In that same year, a benefit auction was started to help financially support the endeavor.

“This is our 45th auction, and the first one was held right before the school opened,” said Chase. “(The founders) were raising funds for the start of the school. The auction is as old as the school. The auction played a pivotal role in the opening of the school. They were able to purchase chairs and desks from the first auction.”
