oncerts, cotillions, even fine dining. Art pairs well with everything. But good art also possesses the power to stand alone on its own merits. “My favorite part of this show is seeing all of the incredible creativity on display,” said Barb Daggett,

the public relations coordinator for the Lititz Art Association (LAA). “Because artists constantly evolve, you never know quite what to expect from year to year. It’s a joy to witness the artists’ growth as they mature.” L AA’s former Lititz Outdoor Fine Art Show is now the Lititz Art Show, and the annual event also has a new venue. No longer located

A derivative of illuminate, illumine is a word that means to shed light upon something. But there’s also a figurative interpretation of the word that suggests that the light will reveal truth and foster a deeper understanding. Catalyst Christian School’s upcoming program called “Illumine” is a first-time community outreach event, not a fundraiser. “It’s been on the top of our minds for about four years,” said Ashlee Zimmerman, Catalyst Christian School’s marketing director. “We wanted to host an event that

One of the things that make Gifts That Give Hope so special is that it thrives in the no-judgment zone. The local nonprofit is currently gearing up for this year’s foray into the world of alternative gift giving. “ We tr y to promote more charitable giving,” said Jenn Knepper, the founder of Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster. “I started to think about giving more meaningful gifts to my parents, things like promoting women’s education around the world. I felt like that was something my parents encouraged for me. I think it’s a chance to be creative, like what are the causes that are important to people?” Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster’s upcoming gift festival de-emphasizes material items and emphasizes experiences, altruism and charitable causes. This year’s 19th edition of the unique gift fair will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. The event is free to attend, and all proceeds will benefit the participating nonprofits. “I’m always trying to make things run more smoothly,” said Knepper. “We change things based on feedback. Each year we’re just always trying to improve on how we reach people and engage with them. We’re connected with different nonprofits, and we try to promote the things that the nonprofits are doing. We all benefit when we’re connected to the

company. “We want to open our doors to the community,” added Zimmerman, “and we want people to feel the same warmth and friendly atmosphere we have here. Christ is at the center of all that we do.” The evening of Illumine will begin with hors d’oeuvres and feature dinner, but the highlight of the ticketed event will be an inspirational talk titled “Live Bright. Love Boldly.” from best-selling author and the founder of the human rights nonprofit L o v e D o e s , B o b G o f f. There will also be time for worship, singing, mingling and conversation. “ We w a n t i t to fe e l whimsically elegant,” said Zimmerman, “which is centered on the fact that Bob loves balloons and bubbles. We want you to feel at home

and comfortable, but we want you to feel inspired by a renewed purpose of what God has called you to do.” More than 350 supporters, community members and church representatives are expected to attend Illumine. The event is being sponsored by three local businesses. “I love this school,” said Zimmerman, a resident of Manheim. “I want everyone to understand what we are - a place where everyone relates to everyone else. I think our community is a little bit confused sometimes. When we changed our name and changed our building, I think some people thought we were bought out. Next year will be our 50th year, and something that’s been around that long is cool.” Last year, that half-century-old community

anchor located at 1050 E. Newport Road, Lititz, became Catalyst Christian School. T his year, the school’s enrollment of 348 students in preschool through 12th grade is higher than at any point in Lancaster Area Mennonite School’s history. The private, religion-based school is staffed by 60 employees, about 40 of whom are teachers. The school’s motto is “Igniting Faith. Forming Leaders. Launching Lives.” “Our role in the community is to come alongside parents to help them raise children,” said Zimmerman. “We are helping students to be formed, in every way. It’s not just about the academics; it’s also about their hearts. When we’re sending them out, we’re sending them out to be catalysts for the Lord.”

One would be hard pressed to identify a more symbolic, empowering and compassionate Saturday morning. The Freedom Walk brings words to life, movement to ideas, unity to a cause and progress to a culture. “My favorite part is seeing individuals we’ve seen over the years who regularly receive our services show up and say, ‘This is the first step in my freedom,’” said Amy Thurston, the co-founder of Hope Inspire Love, who’s been the CEO for nine years. “Just seeing young men, fathers and their boys joining in. When I see them walk, I know no one knows their stories, but they do. Every year, we have people come up to us and say, ‘Thank you for doing this for me.’” T he time is near for another installment of staunch human trafficking foe Hope Inspire Love’s inspiring trek for social change - the Freedom Walk. This year’s edition of the annual event will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Musser Park, 135 N. Lime St., Lancaster. “Because it’s been so much in the news and so many nonprofits are offering services, there is so much awareness about human trafficking,” said Thurston. “What people don’t know about is the trafficking going on online. Part of our goal is awareness, while helping people take the next step in independence and freedom. We get calls all the time.” The Freedom Walk festivities will begin around 9 a.m. when people begin filtering in for registration. There will be time for con-

versation and camaraderie before participants are addressed about the depths of the human trafficking problem. Black T-shirts and signs will be handed out, and a huge group photo will be taken before the 2-mile silent walk begins. The day will also include live music, a simulation tent and information tables manned by other organizations that are opponents of human trafficking, and a lunch will be served after the walk. “It’s a celebration of the beauty of collaboration,” said Thurston, a resident of Manheim Township. “We have 30 minutes of stage time when we talk about the why. It allows people to understand what they’re walking for. We want to invite healthy conversation.” In single file, the walkers will process quietly and slowly from Musser Park around Lancaster Central Market and back again. The joyous and somber moments create a moving vibe felt by participants, victims and spectators alike. “It’s so beautiful because anyone can do it,” said Thurston. “It is literally a movement. Seeing our young people walk with signs that say ‘I’m not for sale’ is so powerful. We have to start when our kids are young. “It’s an outward action of an inner desire for this to end,” she added. “As we move, we see people fill with tears. Some people will pray in the park while we are walking.” More than 500 individuals, mostly from Lancaster County but also from places like Harrisburg, Reading and Philadelphia, will participate in the Freedom Walk. They are supporters

Some of the art will be for sale, but all of the art will be available for appreciating. “The artists are always excited to share their work and talk with old friends and new acquaintances,” said Daggett, a resident of Lititz who will also be participating as a presenting artist. “It’s fun to watch visitors who visit every year gather in friendly groups and enjoy a beautiful fall day outdoors together. “Artists create from a deeply personal place, but they also must consider what resonates with buyers,” continued Daggett. “Having someone appreciate and compliment your work is extremely satisfying and validates all the effort put

Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster, will host Harvest Days on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 10 and 11, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Harvest Days is Landis Valley’s signature fall festival

into creating it. These are exceptionally talented individuals, with several also participating in high-quality juried shows up and down the East Coast.” In addition to a kids’ crafts station, the event will feature several food trucks offering an array of delicious hot and cold dishes. “A move (from Lititz Springs Park) was required, and remaining in Lititz was a top priority,” said Daggett. “Thankfully, the board of the historic Moravian Church worked with our organization to provide a beautiful new setting for our art show. This year, the association reviewed the show guidelines and agreed to expand the types of art accepted into the show. Even though this continues to be a juried fine art show, the expanding art fields prompted a less restrictive name, thus becoming the Lititz Art Show.” LAA was established as the Village Art Association by Floyd Hackman in 1966, and the group began a sidewalk art show a year later before moving it to Lititz Springs Park. Today, LAA is headquartered at Gallery 51, which is located at 51 N. Broad St., Lititz. “We support the Quick Draw event organized by Venture Lititz,” said Daggett, “partner with the Lititz Public Library and donate to several local nonprofit organizations.” For additional information, go to www.lititzart association.com.

Neighbors Sharing And Caring (NSAC) is designed to minister to women in the community. Each meeting begins with a light snack, song, devotions, prayer and ends with a message. This year’s theme is “Be Still”. Does “being still” mean doing nothing or is it much more than that? We will feature a variety of speakers who will share how to “be still” when faced with the demands and distractions of this world and how “being still” can actually help you be more productive, more at peace and more like Jesus. Feel free to join us for any or all programs. No pre-registration required. Babysitting is provided for all preschool children. Please call if you need more info. We would love to see you at our opening brunch on October 13th!

The gift fair has a very altruistic, collaborative, community type of environment. It always lifts my spirits. One of my strengths is building connections, and the gift fair is the epitome of that. Nobody wants to reinvent wheels, and the gift fair helps build bridges.” More than 1,500 people are expected to attend Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster’s fair.

There will also be six food trucks, live music and book readings. “It’s an opportunity to catch up with a friend. It’s great for all ages,” said Knepper, a nurse who resides in East Hempfield Township. “ You have to make choices easy for people. I think most people want to be conscientious gift givers or shoppers in general. The gift fair is a one-stop shop for gifts that make a difference. We’ve kind of done the screening to make it easy.” Among the items available for purchase are charitable donations in a loved
