Ada's latest news

FINDLAY__Ada High School sophomore Cheznie Vieira competed in the girls district wrestling tournament at Findlay on Sunday, March 2.

For her first match in the 16-girl bracket of the 120 lbs. division, Vieira lost a close 3-1 decision to Defiance Tinora junior Addilyn Delarber.

That loss dropped her into the consolation bracket, where at best she could finish third and still qualify for the state tournament March 7-9 with a top-four finish. 

In her first match in the consolation division, Vieira defeated Avon Lake freshman Bianca Craig with a 3-0 shutout decision victory.

From Ada Council President, Bob Simmons, March 3

We would like to cordially invite all landlords with properties in the Village of Ada to take part in a roundtable discussion. The Village of Ada would like to discuss setting up an internal voluntary Landlord Directory. We feel it is important and necessary that we get input from landlords who are operating rental properties in the Village of Ada about this idea.

From Rev. Brandi Grant-Rigsby and Ada First UMC 10-Year Anniversary Planning Team 

Greetings,

“We are the church, you are the church. We are the church together!”

Can you believe it will soon be 10 years that we have been in our current church building? A decade of Sunday services, baptisms, weddings, memorial services, potlucks, meetings, missions, and Sunday school classes!

A little history—Methodism originated in Ada in 1852 with a few settlers who began a class meeting in an old school house on Main Street and Montfort Avenue. In 1861, the Methodists assisted the Presbyterians in building the old Presbyterian Church and they worshipped together!
