Welcome!

Oasis Ministries welcomes you to this concert by Silver, Wood and

Ivory, a duo that has been called “the hidden treasure of Lancaster

County.” We are delighted to have Tracy Dietrich and Cindy

Wittenberg perform here as a benefit fundraiser for our ministry, in

celebration of our twenty-fifth anniversary. These dynamic

performers expertly maximize the beauty and contrasting elements

of their silver, wood and ivory instruments to surround you with

melodies that will soothe your soul and calm your spirit.

Oasis Ministries for Spiritual Development is an ecumenical

Christian ministry, embracing our multi-faith world, that nurtures

contemplative ways for people to experience God in the unfolding of

their lives. Our single-day gatherings, retreats, pilgrimages, short-

term and long-term courses form individuals into communities that

nurture quiet prayer and open up souls to discover and practice

God’s presence. This year we celebrate twenty-five years of teaching

people how to companion others on their spiritual journey.

We invite you to enjoy this wonderful music, browse our Oasis

Creations in the lobby, make a bid in our silent auction, and learn a

bit more about how Oasis offers opportunities for a deeper

relationship with God. We ask you also to support with your

business the individuals, organizations and restaurants whose

advertising helps make this concert possible.

Thank you for joining us today in celebration and support.
