It make take a community to put a church bell in a place on honor.
Ohio Northern University engineering students participated in the bell project. ONU students learned woodworking principles from master woodworker Scott Phillips from "The American Woodshop " television program on PBS.
Phillips is helping with an EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) project to build a wooden display pedestal for the bell from the Ada United Methodist Church that was destroyed by fire in March 2013.
It's the perfect hat for a very cold winter day in Ada. Not only was it previously worn by a polar bear - so it should be pretty toasty - it's only 50 cents. You'll find this hat, if it hasn't already sold, at ReStore on Main Street.
Two Lessons from Church
Giving the children's sermon at the Baptist Church, Pastor Jack Duffy told of a lady who was blind from birth, how it was difficult for her to get by in the world. However, the woman said, "The first person I see will be Jesus."
Later, Dave Rouch, giving a testimonial about his walk in faith, recounted this: I was the driver, God was in the backseat giving directions; then I learned God should be in the driver's seat.
