BiHUMC crafters’ bazaar, puts creativity on display BY JEFF FALK
Creating things like crafts is a great way to honor the gifts that God has given us. Members of the Bird-in-Hand U n i te d Me t h o d i s t C h u rc h (BiHUMC) United Women in

On Reformation Sunday, Westminster music will bring God’s Word to life BY JEFF FALK
Music often makes occasions more festive. At Westminster Presbyterian Church, it makes services more blessed. Westminster Presbyterian Church is hosting an extraordinary worship event built around special guest J.A.C. Redford. It’s a unique way to connect with God and music. “We don’t just do music for
music’s sake,” said Frank Dodd, who’s been Westminster Presbyterian’s director of music and organist for five years. “We understand that God meets His people through an event like this. Music is a secondary feature; it is not the primary function. Preaching is the primary function, but music supports it.” Located at 2151 Oregon Pike, Lancaster, Westminster Presbyterian Church will present

curious student body. A thriving school community. Passionate educators. When institutions like L ancaster County Christian School (LCCS) have so much to be grateful for, they often desire to express appreciation. LCCS’ upcoming appreciation breakfast is designed to recognize businesses involved with Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, which provides essential funding for the school. “The thing I love about this school is that you can pick up that there’s something more than just learning going on,” said Sandy Outlar, LCCS’ community relations director. “I think our learning enlivens the lives of our children. Not only do they enjoy their learning, they’re stirred in their hearts.” LCCS’ annual EITC appreciation breakfast will be served on Friday, Nov. 22, from 7 to 9 a.m. at the Student Life Center on LCCS’ campus, 2390 New Holland Pike, Lancaster. The breakfast will include scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, orange juice and coffee. T he event will feature an appearance by United States Congressman Lloyd Smucker, who will deliver an address titled “Federal Policies That Impact Both Businesses and Pennsylvanians.” The appreciation breakfast will also include a question-and-answer session with congressman Smucker.
