Church Sets Concert, Trunk or Treat

Lancaster Church of the Brethren, 1601 Sunset Ave., Lancaster, will host a concert of marimba music by classically trained percussionist, performer, and educator Grace Lea Rose Asuncion on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. The concert is part of the church's Starlight Tea Concert Series.

A 2015 graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School, Asuncion claims the marimba as one of her two favorite instruments. She graduated from Ithaca College in 2019 and has worked with the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, Allegro Orchestra of Lancaster, Binghamton Philharmonic, Pennsylvania Philharmonic, and others. She performs her own compositions and arrangements of musicians such as Debussy, Bach, and Stevie Wonder.

Admission is free, and a freewill offering will be received. Tea and cookies will be served following the concert. For more information, contact planning committee chair Giny Mackey at 717-201-8450.

The church will also host its fourth annual Trunk or Treat night on Friday, Oct. 31. Church members and friends will decorate vehicles and give out candy and treats in the church parking lot from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Last year, candy was provided at more than 20 vehicles for an estimated 250 children, as well as family members.

If Manheim Township reschedules its trick-or-treat night due to inclement weather, the church's event will follow suit.
