Although school is not out for the summer, plans are underway for a late-summer back-to-school event held at Bethel Church of Christ, rural Ada, on Sunday, Aug. 21, according to Gideon Fisher, who is planning the event.

The event is called “Urge” and it is a free, community-wide, student, back-to-school event.

Fisher explained the event this way:
“The focus of Urge is to encourage students (junior high through college age) to do well in the upcoming school year but more importantly to urge them to be who God wants them to be in their schools.

Decorated sidewalks and colorful Easter eggs adorned the grounds of St. Mark's Lutheran Church Saturday for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. 

Some of the 400 Easter eggs contained prizes, while the rest held candy for the youngsters in the hunt. 

Among those assisting on behalf of St. Mark's were Minda Shun, Lillian Shun, Nicholas Shun, and Kelsey Hess, who brightened the scene with her sidewalk chalk drawings.
