Bringing The Word To Young People
Manheim Township Bible2School provides released time lessons to students in five local elementary schools. BY ANN MEAD ASH
wen Marinaro, executive director with Manheim Township Bible2School, is pleased with the fall enrollment in the Bible study program that currently serves Bucher, Neff, Nitrauer, Reidenbaugh, and Schaeffer elementary schools. “As of now, we have 171 students,” said a smiling Marinaro in mid-October. “I think this is the most we have had

this early on, and it’s exciting.” Bible2School is a released time program offering free elective Bible instruction to Manheim Township School District public school attendees in second, third, and fourth grades. Participants may walk or are bused to a church or other location near the school. During the 55minute weekly program, trained volunteers teach lessons from the Bible and discuss how principles from those lessons can apply to the
students’ own lives. According to Marinaro, the program is offered to children in all three grades at Bucher, Neff, Nitrauer, and Schaeffer. Currently, the Reidenbaugh program is offered to second- and third-grade students, but Marinaro hopes to add fourth grade next year. This year’s classes began on Sept. 19, and they will end during the third week of April 2023. Because the program uses an open enrollment system,
students may enroll at any time. Marinaro explained that the Bible2School program divides the curriculum according to grade level. “Second grade focuses on the Old Testament, and then third grade (studies the) New Testament, and fourth grade (learns) discipleship,” she said. Each session includes several essential parts. “Once we get to the church, we sit down, and we open up with prayer,” said Marinaro, who noted that children will
bring their own lunches or a brown bag lunch packed by the school. The students eat their lunches while a teacher engages them in the main lesson before the students break into small groups. “(During) small group time, they dig deeper into the lesson, and sometimes there’s a craft,” said Marinaro, who noted that small group teachers generally end the session with prayer before the entire group closes with a worship song.

Thrill Of A Lifetime Leola Artist Repairs Tiffany Window BY ANN MEAD ASH
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Jason Lichty of Leola is an artist with a broad resume. He paints, draws, sculpts, and more, but his love is stained glass, and while he wished to make a career in that area, he did not think it was likely to happen. “I thought for sure the stained glass end of things was just going to be a hobby,” said Lichty. “I was convinced it was just going to be an extension of my other artwork.” Not only has Lichty developed a stained glass repair business that
