The Pape Move

Our new youth minister, John Pape and family, have arrived from Indiana. A group from OCC helped unload their moving truck yesterday beginning around 5 p.m. The truck was completely unloaded by a little after 6 p.m. Then we had a nice time of fellowship with pizza and pop.

Great Value?

I’ve noticed this with bags of chips too. It seems that most of the bag is filled with [...]

It has been an interesting 48 hours. I was in my office Thursday afternoon working on my sermon and the next thing I know I’m in ER at Wooster Hospital. From about 2:30 to 8:30 p.m. I don’t remember anything. Pretty weird, huh? I had numerous tests done at the hospital and everything checked out [...]
