Church sets craft show, concert

St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 10 Delp Road, Lancaster, will host its sixth annual craft show on Saturday, Nov. 30, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will take place at the on-site Family Life Center.

The craft show will feature handmade items from more than 40 vendors; new this year are shell art, fluid painting, and acrylic skin jewelry. The Manheim Township Lions Club will offer breakfast sandwiches and light lunch items for purchase.

The event is free and open to the community.

In addition, St. Peter's will present a portion of George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 4 and 7 p.m.

The church will present the Christmas section of Handel's masterpiece oratorio. The community chorus of more than 100 singers is under the direction of Tom Berdos, music director at St. Peter's. It is accompanied by Deborah Berdos, St. Peter's organist, and a 26-piece professional orchestra. The oratorio's text is drawn directly from Scripture. "Messiah" has been performed across the globe since its premiere in Dublin in 1742. The Dec. 15 concerts at St. Peter's will include the "Hallelujah" chorus as well as the final "Amen," Handel's musical signature that concludes the oratorio.

The featured soloists will include Monica Ziglar, soprano; Amy Yovanovich, mezzo soprano; Christyan Seay, tenor; and Richard Zuch, bass. Each soloist has a distinguished performing career regionally and nationally.

Tickets are available by donation by calling the church's ticket line at 717-617-0111. Tickets are also available in person from noon to 2 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays in the church narthex. Availability for the 4 p.m. performance may be limited.
