Lions Club to hold potpie supper BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
The Mountville Lions Club will host a chicken potpie supper on Saturday, March 18, at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 100 W. Main St., Mountville. Takeout meals will be available to purchase at a set price from 10 a.m. until supplies run out. Members of the Lions Club make each meal from scratch, using over 400 pounds of chicken, 200 pounds of potatoes, 200 pounds of flour
and 60 dozen eggs. Desserts such as cakes, cookies and pies many of which are homemade, will also be sold during the event. The Mountville Lions Club has been hosting the potpie supper in the spring and fall for over 50 years. In addition to the meals, the Lions Club also operates a roller ball stand at the Mountville Fire Company’s carnival and the Washington Boro Tomato Festival to raise funds for its community projects.

Manor Church to hold benefit auction BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
anor Church, 530 Central Manor Road, Lancaster, will host a benefit auction on Saturday, March 25, at 9 a.m. The proceeds from the auction will benefit the church’s youth programs and mission trips, which include students from the Penn Manor, Hempfield and Columbia areas. All items that will be sold at the auction are being donated from members of the congregation as well as local residents and businesses. Available items will include gift cards, tickets to sporting events, gift baskets, handmade goods and vouchers for services provided by local residents. Food and beverages will also be available to purchase at the auction, and the proceeds from food sales will also support the church’s youth programs. Breakfast foods will be served during the morning hours of the event, and lunch items will be sold in the afternoon, until the
Appalachian region of the state. Walmer noted that each location for the trip is selected to give the students experience with working in different communities. Since the group visited a remote location like Viper last year, Walmer wanted to take the students to a town like Waldorf, which lies just outside of Washington D.C., “We’re always open to God’s leading and seeing where we feel we’re needed the most,” Walmer said. In addition to the youth program’s mission trips, students also participate in various service projects in the local community. During Manor Serves, a weeklong service event hosted by the church, students helped with mulching and other yard work projects in the area. Every December, the youth group partners with another ministry called Connect to the Kingdom to make and distribute meals at Musser Park in Lancaster city.

In order to be eligible to
receive the scholarship, students must be Lancaster County residents, demonstrate a need for financial assistance, have a grade point average of 2.0 or higher and be graduating seniors, among other requirements. Each student must submit a high school transcript, an academic recommendation letter, a community service-related recommendation letter and a one-page essay describing his or her career goals.

The students will assist the community in Waldorf by leading bible studies, repairing homes and churches and distributing goods at local food banks. “These trips are opportunities to give students a greater understanding of what it means to follow Christ and serve others,” said Beau Walmer, student ministries director at Manor Church. “They also give students a chance to live out the church’s values and experience cultures around the world.” Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Manor Church’s youth group completed mission trips to serve communities in Puerto Rico. After taking a break from traveling over the course of the pandemic, the youth group visited Viper, Ky., last year. Students completed projects and assisted the residents of Viper, which is located in the rural
