Sunday Service – Rural Appalachian Ohio: An Asset-Based Approach

Sunday 11:00am – 12:00pm

Join us for this Sunday service in which we’ll hear from two Ohio University faculty members (Dr. Sharon Casapulla & Dr. Mike Hess) who have dedicated their careers to working with schools and social services in Appalachian Ohio from an asset rather than a deficit based approach. Examples of their work as OU faculty will be shared with an emphasis on the powerful use of the democratic process in working with community partners.

Choir Practice

Wednesday 8:15-10:00pm

Membership/Caring Committee Requests Help for Lois Gladchild

Lois Gladchild is recently home from a hospital stay and is in need of several things . Please assist as you can:

1. Encouraging words. Although she is working hard to regain her strength, it is hard work.

2.In order to assist with encouragement if you have time please help Lois by bringing homemade food and staying to help eat it. Please be aware of the following dietary restrictions: NO nuts, seeds, legumes of any sort although green beans and peas are fine. The middle of the day would be best. (She is not close to Athens and is about 30 minutes outside of Amesville.)

3.  If you can help in any way please e-mail Lois’s daughter Ebby (eberdee@gmail.com), and cc Marsha Nagy (marshawnagy@gmail.com) so that she can send directions to you. It is a nice drive although a little windy.

4. Thanks to any and all hwo can help out any day the first two weeks of February.

Save the Date – Leadership Meeting 2/14

The love and effort of our community are what sustain and improve our spiritual home.
