The following will be recommended by the elders to become members of LEFC
at the November 13, 2011 Congregational Meeting.

Mary Allwein

My name is Mary Lou Allwein and I graduated in1965 from Warwick High school in Lititz, Pennsylvania.  After high school I spent one year at Montgomery Hospital in Norristown in the nursing program.  I've also taken several courses through Harrisburg Area Community College and enjoyed them immensely.  It was nothing like high school.

I belonged to a very loving Christian family who were very involved in the church.  My family included my parents Richard and Mary Nelson and my older brother Ronald.  We have lived in the Lititz area all our lives.

I met my future husband when we worked at Heistands Market in Lititz. We were married in September of 1967.  We are parents of . . .

Katherine Eachus

I was raised in a Christian home to parents who were first generation believers.  We were faithful church-goers and many of my childhood memories with my brother and sister involve Sunday school, church fellowships and VBS.  At a young age, I responded to my Sunday school teacher’s request for anyone who did not know Jesus as their Savior to come talk to her at the front of the room.  I remember going forward, but I don’t remember anything else surrounding that event.  It plagued me through childhood that I didn’t really remember getting saved and was fearful that if I died I wouldn’t go to heaven.  So, I prayed the sinner’s prayer many times at night before I went to bed.  But still, something felt unfinished.

At age 13, I attended a summer camp that I’d been attending with my youth group for several years.  During one of the services one evening, . . .

Jon Geiman

My name is Jon Geiman.  I live with my wife, Vickie, on Bluebird Road here in Lititz.  Had it not been for my job going off-shore a few years ago, it is likely that I would neither be married to Vickie, living in Lititz, nor attending LEFC.  I began my college experience in 1973 at The King’s College in Briarcliff Manor, New York, and recently completed my BA through a degree completion program offered through Albright College in Reading.  Vickie and I met, fell in love, and married while I was a student at Albright and she was employed by the college.  Yes…it took me 38 years to . . .

Vickie Geiman

I live in Lititz with my husband, Jon. Together we have five grown children and with the arrival of the next grandchild at the end of November we will have thirteen grandchildren!  All live within an hour or so of Lititz, so
we are blessed to have our family so near. Our living parents live in the area as well.  My brother lives in Lititz and Jon’s siblings
live in Ohio, New Mexico, and California. We also live with Blyss, a three year old . . .

Kristen Hunt 

I was born in Chester County, PA, on November 9, 1974, and the first of three girls.  My parents were dairy farmers, so I had the privilege of being raised on a farm.  My family attended church where my parents were involved in choir and leadership and, therefore I considered myself a “Christian” by association in my early years but had yet to ask Jesus to be my Savior.  At the age of 13, my family sold our Chester County farm and moved the dairy business to Northern Lebanon County.  This move greatly impacted my life.  I met a girl at my new school who quickly befriended me and invited me and my family to attend her church.  It was in a youth group gathering on September 17, 1988, that I prayed to receive Jesus Christ as my Savior and came to understand the forgiveness and joy He gives. 

Having Christ in my life drastically changed me.  Prior to committing my life to Him, I was known as . . .

Emily Landis

My name is Emily Landis. I am a high school graduate of Warwick High School and a college graduate of DeSales University. I married Shane Landis on June 21, 2011, after dating for five years. I currently work as a Registered Nurse at Hershey Medical Center in the Women’s Health Unit. I was raised in a Catholic believing home with happily married parents, two sisters, and a brother. Although the Catholic Church provides a great deal of religious tradition, its services and Sunday school education lacked sustenance in my eyes. Even though I felt my heart yearning for something more . . .

Shane Landis

I accepted Jesus as my personal savior at the young age of seven during a church service and firmly believe that my soul was rescued from sin and eternal damnation that day. However, at the time, my faith was one of knowledge, works and rote practice. It was not until ninth grade when I began attending youth group at LEFC that I realized that the Christian walk is . . .

Millard Mershon

The faith of Hugenot ancestors was passed to a city letter carrier’s 9 children, and relatives with whom my father was “farmed out” in summer. Later, he married a teacher, and became a “hired man” on the wellequipped farm of her horseman/widower father. By age 4 or 5, I had been taught to love Jesus; then I learned that I could trust Him to . . .

Edward Mitchell

I am from 12 generations in Bath, Maine. It all started with my mother who wanted my brothers and me to go to Bible school at Maine Street Baptist Church in Freeport, Maine. I was about 9 or 10 years old when I accepted Christ as my personal Savior. We went to Sunday school every Sunday. Then when I was a teenager my parents moved us . . .

Tami Mitchell

As a child, my brothers and I thought we were moving to some hick town in Maine.  We did not have a clue how huge or where the state was located. 

We arrived in Maine in 1970.  There was so much snow.  My brothers and I thought that was great.  As a teenager and a young adult we were members of Maine Street Baptist Church.  I played the piano and sang in the Choir; I was also the church hostess and I even worked in nursery. 

It all changed when I became involved with Ed Mitchell.  My pastor felt that Ed and I were . . .

Amanda Ranck

Around the age of seven, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.  I remember praying with my parents before I went to bed one night for Jesus to come into my heart.  I was baptized at church when I was 14 years old as a public declaration of my faith.  Over the next few years, I would have told everyone that I was a Christian, but since I was so young, I did not fully understand what my faith consisted of or how to have a personal relationship with Christ.

As I continued through high school and college, there wasn’t any big moment that changed my relationship with Christ; rather it was a continual learning and growing process that helped shape me into who I am today.  God has used family members and close friends to help guide me and speak wisdom into my life.  I had a strong group of Christian friends in a public high school that stretched me and . . .

Tyler Ranck

I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart when I was eight years old, recognizing that He died for my sins, and only through Him could I receive God’s gift of eternal life.  I was baptized when I was a twelve as a public declaration of my faith and commitment to follow Jesus.  While I’m glad I can look back on this milestone in my journey, I also recognize that at the time I didn’t fully know what it meant.

It wasn’t until high school that I started to recognize that there was more to this “faith” than a bunch of knowledge; that God was actually calling me to more of a relationship with Him.  I vividly remember one turning-point in my life.  Our youth group spent a week at the Harrisburg Discipleship Center, and . . .
