ake a beautiful space with lots of room, add community interest in live music programs and you get the Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren concert series. Three concerts will be held in February and March at the church, 777 S. Mount Joy St., Elizabethtown. Joe Detrick, chair of the church’s concert committee, said the series dates back decades when members of the church wanted to provide opportunities to advance the musical arts in the wider Elizabethtown community while using the church facilities to host events. “The church seats approximately 350 people and has a wide chancel area for musical groups,” he said. “The church is an accessible and welcoming facility.” Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren has been able to present the concerts for years thanks to See Concerts pg 3

You Can’t Feed the Hungry Without Breaking a Few Sauder’s Eggs BY JEFF FALK
When the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) announced nine new historical markers to be placed across the state, one of them landed in Lancaster County, at a place with a story that reaches far deeper than people passing by may realize. The Locust Grove Archaeological District in Bainbridge, which includes the Locust Grove Estate
Flexible and multifaceted, eggs make incredible souffles and terrific omelets. Nutritious and delicious, eggs make savory quiches and magnificent custards. Eggs also make the perfect donations. “They’re the most versatile protein out there,” said Wade Smith, Sauder’s Eggs’ chief operations officer. “Eggs are used in everything you can think of. You can have eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are a million ways to prepare eggs. They are one of the most cost-effective ways to get protein in diets. They have no sugars, and they’re low in fat.” Dur ing the first week of November, Sauder’s Eggs, which is headquartered at 570 Furnace Hills Pike, Lititz, donated 23,400 dozen or 280,800 large white eggs to Blessings of Hope of Lancaster, Lancaster Food Hub and Lebanon County Christian Ministries, all of which operate far-reaching food banks. “It was the Sauders themselves deciding to help people who were going to be in need,” said Smith, adding that the Sauders recognized an immediate need. “We had access to eggs, and we thought we could help now. We wanted to get food in people’s hands immediately. It was important that we feed local people.” “We reached out to Lancaster Food Hub, Lebanon County Christian Ministries, and the rest went to Blessings of Hope,” said
