First “Day Of ThanksGIVING” Planned BY ANN MEAD ASH
onnie Dienner, director of Cavod Performing Arts, is looking forward to the organization’s first Day of ThanksGIVING, which will feature a live evening gathering. “The evening is a celebration of all God has done,” said Dienner. “We are so thankful for our donors.” The Day of ThanksGIVING will begin at midnight on Friday, Nov. 18, with online giving at https://cavod.org. The academy at 675 W. Main St., New Holland, which is normally closed on Fridays, will open at 9 a.m. for those who want to give in person. An Evening of Celebration will be held at Cavod Theatre, 641 W. Main St., New Holland, from 6 to 11 p.m. Giving stations will be located in the theater. Dienner pointed out that the fundraiser will also benefit students of the Manheim location at 280 S. Oak St., which opened in 2021. “This is a combination of both campuses coming together at the main base,” said Dienner.
C
Cavod Academy offers a variety of classes in dance, voice, and more, with an emphasis on “creating with purpose.” An essential goal of the organization is to offer students a godly environment that inspires excellence in the arts while building community and impacting lives. Dienner said that fundraisers like the Day of ThanksGIVING benefit children and adults in the New
Holland and Manheim areas who want to take lessons in the environment Cavod offers. “Many families have come to (Cavod) as a place that is safe with a godly influence that sets us apart,” said Dienner. She added that she has seen students grow and gain motivation and even seen lives changed because of the high value Cavod places on each individual’s talents.

Jesse Bills, who has been the pastor of Pequea Evangelical Congregational (E.C.) Church for more than a year now, said the church has a busy fall planned. “We’ve got a lot going on,” he noted. The extra activity involves the church’s 145th anniversary. Bills said planning started in earnest in August. “We saw it as an opportunity to celebrate the past and get excited about the future too,” he said. See Pequea Church pg 2

In early 1976, Steve Loewen was looking forward to graduating high school. He had already paid for his first year of college at Penn State University, where he planned to study engineering. However, in March of that year, an auto accident claimed the life of his mother, Louise, and left Steve paralyzed with only limited use of his arms. In 1976, Penn State was not equipped to accommodate a student in a motorized wheelchair. See Steve Loewen pg 3

“This will be one of our biggest fundraisers of the year,” commented Dienner, who noted that the organization raises about 30% of its yearly budget. “We will have matching funds, so your gift will be stretched. No amount is too small.” Readers who would like to know more may visit the website mentioned earlier. Individuals who have questions may call 717-354-3355.
