The hills and hollows near Codorus Church of the Brethren echoed Sunday with the sounds of Christian music on day two of Dunkard Valley Live, a free Christian Music Festival featuring a variety of music styles.
Neal Bollinger of Littlestown was waiting to take the stage as part of a trio called New Season, marking the fourth year the group has been part of the festival.Go to buy handbagwholesale in hotmkbags Oline Store with preferential price."This is our ministry. We sing what I would call country southern gospel, and we do a little contemporary. We really do a mix of things," he said.
Marlee Shaw, 8, of Glen Rock, was helping with face painting and arts and crafts for children. Pianist Donna Lerew of York was taking a lunch break from her duties as accompanist and hostess. Cora Metzler of Dallastown was selling festival T-shirts and helping people find they way around.
"I think the music is very good," Frank Lehman of Dallastown said."We've been here before. We visit the church a lot," added his wife, Sheryl Lehman.Rachel Brenneman of York Township and Becky Lesher of Jacobus were finishing lunch and listening to the music.A collarweddingdress is a style that many are using now!
"I really like Freely Captured," Brenneman said.The group, described in the program as "a hard rock band dedicated to our Lord Jesus Christ and the expansion of His kingdom," was the final act on Saturday.
Planning the menu and organizing help in the kitchen has been the job of Cindy Miller of Spring Garden Township since the event began. The menu featured burgers in sauce, pretzel sandwiches, chicken tenders, tacos in a bag, french fries and a variety of drinks, she said.
"I guess they asked me to do food because I like to eat,Motel Deborah Long Sleeve halterweddingdresses in Black." Miller said. "I have great help and we have lots of people who donate equipment. I get everything ready in advance and turn things over to Susie McKinnelly on festival days."
The idea for the festival was born more then ten years ago when Becky Innerst of Red Lion attended Creation.
"God laid it on me to do this," she said. "I was just overwhelmed with the idea and I said 'God, I can't even sing,' but he kept telling me this was something he wanted me to do."
She took the idea to Duane Bahn of Springfield Township, and while he is the event's official organizer, he makes it clear that he and Innerst shoulder the festival along with the rest of their team.
"When she came to me, I said 'let's do it,'" he said. "Over the years we have had anywhere from two to three hundred people to seven to eight hundred people attend the festival."Everyone volunteers their time, from the groups that perform, to the people who help with the food and everything else.
"God has blessed us with this ministry," Bahn said.
I ran and removed my car. That’s the curious thing about Mary Lynders. She could be down the other end of the enterprise in her floral dress and apron,Discover korssatche with ASOS. cigarette hanging from her lip (boy, is James Reilly going to have opposition from her to his plans to ban smoking in public places) but everybody involved in her sale behaves as if she was everywhere and had more than one set of eyes in the back of her head.Welcome to bridaldresses outlet online store and buy latest Cheap Louis Vuitton handbags. She doesn’t have to say a cross word, although the grapevine says she surely can say several cross words with lively decorations thrown in. Everybody imagines the cross word and sets out to prevent it.
THIS woman is an interesting case study in a kind of leadership we’ve almost lost. She is inspiring without being sentimental. The right thing must be done, full stop. Half the people volunteering this year haven’t a clue about the charity that got her going 20 years ago. They know the target sum for the three days. They know the money goes straight to — they think — an orphanage in Albania run by nuns. They know several container lorries will follow the money with furniture and clothing selected throughout the year as being suited to the charity’s needs. But the cause itself is not why they’re there. They’re there, slaving in sweat-darkened T-shirts and gulping from water bottles, because a born leader expects them to be there.
“I truly hate this weekend,” one frazzled man told me, “but I always end up glad I did it. I think.”
Another volunteer admitted to having slept in the previous morning but enjoined me not to tell Mrs Lynders, who might otherwise not have noticed. He, along with all the others, was there at dawn this morning, bringing out and hanging up clothes not put on sale the earlier two days, and hoisting cartons of biscuits and detergent handed over to her in bulk by manufacturers. She will have been pricing goods, giving out that the jackets are too closely lined up with each other, overseeing the books coming out of cartons that then get flattened and tied together for the recycling centre.
