Everyone Welcome! On Sat. Nov. 7 at 2:30pm here at New Life, there will be a wonderful opportunity to learn about the famous four chaplains of the USAT Dorchester during WWII, including York’s own Rabbi Alexander D. Goode. Presented by Mr. Lou Levetan of the York County Jewish History organization, this is truly “a story of courage and selflessness.” This event is free to attend and the SILVERS will provide a light snack following the program. Find the sign-up sheet on the foyer table and add your name no later than Sun. Nov. 1.
