Atkinson named youth pastor at Chestnut Level Presbyterian

11/18/2013

 
Picture
    Aaron Atkinson, the new Director of Youth and Young Adults Ministries at Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church, had an interesting response the first time someone suggested he become a youth pastor.
    In the first semester of his sophomore year at Liberty University, a friend said Atkinson would be a great youth pastor.
    "I laughed at the time," Atkinson recalls. He quickly realized his friend was right and soon got a sign.
    A break dancer, Atkinson was scheduled to take a dance class. But the dance class was cancelled so he took a youth ministry class instead.
    "I've known what I've wanted to do since then," he says. "There were some days I wasn't sure but God has always reassured me."

Quarryville monument rededicated

11/12/2013

 
    About 100 people turned out Saturday afternoon, November 9, for the rededication of the monuments that flank the entrance to Quarryville’s Memorial Drive.
    The Quarryville Lions Club has spearheaded the project, which saw both monuments and the adjacent patios rebuilt during the past year.
    The project also included memorial benches donated by community members and organizations and a new planting area linking the benches with the monuments.
    The monuments, dedicated in 1947, were in worse shape than originally thought, Joanne Black told the audience.
    Black began organizing the event when she was serving as the Lions Club president last year. She continued to coordinate the effort after stepping down from her one-year term in office.
    Black, above, praised the community for its involvement in the project.
    Korean War veteran Merle Aukamp, right, salutes as the pillars were rededicated.
    Veterans, their families, and other community members gathered for the ceremony, below, and Rep. Bryan Cutler, below right, gave the address.

    Kelly Cook knows the story.
    Last year, she read the book.
    This year, she's in the play.
    The Solanco High School freshman has the lead in “The Diary of Anne Frank.”
    As an eighth grader, Cook read the diary as part of the district's English curriculum. She also went to Washington, D.C., on a class trip and toured the Holocaust Museum.
    A veteran of two plays in Lancaster's Fulton Opera House, she tried out for this fall's school play and won the role of Anne Frank.
    Frank, a young Jewish girl, kept a diary while she and her family hid from the Nazis in occupied Amsterdam during World War II. The diary was discovered after Frank and most of her relatives died in a concentration camp.
