Saturday Evening, March 28

TFC Dinner Concert

Lancaster Chapter

Yoder’s, New Holland, PA

 

We arrived early to help the Lancaster Committee put programs, donation envelopes, and TFC literature on the tables.  Waitresses were just beginning the setup.

 

 

Two hours later the room was filled with 505 people.

 

 

Looking the other direction.  Our family was at the table in the foreground.

 

 

Following dinner, we were blessed by the awesome talent of Set Free, a bluegrass gospel group from York, Pennsylvania.

 

 

If they are in your area, go to hear them.

 

 

 

 

Scott Weidner, Transport For Christ President and CEO, informed the audience about our Church Training Module.  This is a program in which churches are trained to participate in TFC’s network of contact churches:  churches where drivers can be encouraged to attend when they are at home, and where members are encouraged to become volunteer chaplains.

 

 

Dan Lehigh, a chaplain with another trucking ministry, shared how TFC has helped to train him and his volunteers in ministering to drivers.

 

 

 Bunny O’Hare, TFC Director of Chaplains (right) introduced a local pastor who has been involved in the church training module.  He told how driver Ken Sanders (middle) began attending his church.

 

 

Cerwin gave a chapel construction update, and introduced Clarence and Gene Martin, the men who built this lowboy and dozer and donated it to TFC. 

 

 

 It is an amazing piece of art, and will be available to the highest bidder at the TFC Truck Rally auction on June 27.

 

 

 Set Free closed the program with a second concert.

It was a fabulous evening.
