Grace Brethren Church began hosting the car show in 2016.
“We want to let people know that we’re here and that we care.” Prior to becoming the pastor of Grace Church Lancaster, Becker and his family were missionaries in Ireland for 13 years. Becker was a member of Grace Church in Lititz prior to moving to Ireland, and in 2015, he was contacted and informed that the Lancaster congregation required assistance. Despite being settled and comfortable in Ireland, Becker and his family relocated and he became the pastor of Grace Brethren Church. “We realized that was the direction God was calling us. It wasn’t what we were looking to do and moving wasn’t easy, but we had no doubt in our minds this is where we needed to be,” said Becker. Grace Brethren Church is involved with several missions both locally and globally, supporting communities in Japan, Germany, Ireland and beyond. A service at Grace Church Lancaster is held at 10 a.m. each Sunday, followed by a Bible study. The church has several other events slated for the rest of the year, including a “casual conversation” program that will provide a space for those who speak English as a second language to practice conversing with others.

The fundraiser will support the Lions Club’s community projects.
Fitness, Fellowship And Faith BY CATHY MOLITORIS
In the early morning hours, you may see a group of men working out at Rapho Township Community Park or at Mountville Community Park. What you might not know is that they’re doing more than exercising. They’re practicing the “three Fs.” As members of F3, the guys are engaging in fitness, fellowship and faith. To celebrate the fifth anniversary of F3 Lanco, the group will host a See Fitness Group pg 2

and a trunk or treat activity, as well as many carnival games with prizes for children who participate. “It’s a safe place for both children and their parents to come enjoy themselves,” said pastor Scott Becker. “The kids always get dressed up for the trunk or treat and the parents enjoy the collection of classic cars.” People’s choice awards will be given to the owners of the three most popular cars, and Becker will provide music during the event as its DJ. With the exception of 2020, Grace Church has hosted its car show each year since 2016. “I was a new pastor and came to the church in 2015. We were looking for ways to connect and provide something fun for the community,” said Becker.
