Pastor Mary Jo Yeakel, who saw a church through a major tragedy, announced to the Ada First United Methodist Church congregation on Sunday that she will be leaving to lead the Asbury United Methodist Church near Columbus.
Her last service here will be Sunday, June 18.
Rev. Gregory V. Palmer, Bishop of the West Ohio Conference, will appoint a new local pastor in time for the June 25 service.
Pastor Yeakel's new church, located just outside the beltway on the southeast side of Columbus, is about the same size as the Ada church. She is leaving because she felt a definite call from God to serve the Columbus area church.
On a day when March showers, hopefully, bring May flowers, several youngsters made a "greenhouse," planted bean seeds in the "structure," and did a lot of coloring.
The spring activity at the Ada Public Library on Thursday involved coloring the edges of a "greenhouse," adding some seeds inside a plastic bag, and placing cotton balls inside the bag for moisture to help the seeds sprout. Soon, the children will have their own bean starts to plant at home.
Here, Sophie (left) and Phoebe McKinley enjoy the activity.
An ONU musical group will perform to area seniors at noon, Tuesday, April 4.
