Ada's latest news

The Icon can help spread the word about your events

What’s on your organization’s summer schedule?

The Icon invites local organizations to send summer event details for posting.

“As a result of the covid-19 pandemic, nearly every area annual event was cancelled in 2020,” said Fred Steiner of the Icon.

“We are seeing a reemergence of many of these events and activities that are open to the public and we want to help your group spread the word,” he said.

The Icon is interested in posting any event open to the community, or special events such as class reunions, planned in June, July and August.

Ada area congregations holding a Vacation Bible School are invited to contact the Ada Icon with VBS details.

The Icon will post VBS information and we need the following:
Church name
Date of VBS
Time of VBS
Ages of participants
Who to contact to register

We will accept flyers. Send VBS details to: [email protected]
