Have you noticed the beautiful flowers in the bed to the west of the churches rear entrance? We have Mercedes McPherson and Charlie Meadows to thank for that! The colors are fantastic. And how about the memory garden…great job Carmie & Raffy Ouzounian! A bed that is easily overlooked is the one that runs along Andover St. It’s weeded, trimmed and edged all thanks to Dave & Melinda Monos. We really appreciate these folks for their hard work and willingness to lend a hand.

Upcoming Events and Items of Interest:

Coming this week:
This is exciting! Our Youth Sabbath School class has been working on a drama set to the song Everything by Lighthouse that they will share with the church during 1st service this Sabbath. I know, I know, that’s Heritage Sabbath but don’t worry, if you don’t get to see it on the 26th, the group has agreed to do a vespers program of this production at a later date. It’s a timeless message set to a modern song and I’m sure you won’t want to miss it!

Our special guest speaker for our Heritage Sabbath 2nd service is Ohio Conference president, Raj Attiken. We’ve dedicated this year’s Heritage Sabbath to our Ohio Conference personnel and the warm relationship that our church has enjoyed with them throughout the years. Please be sure to stay after the 2nd service for a Fellowship Luncheon in their honor. Please bring your choice of the following to share: hors d’ oeuvres, small sandwiches, fruits, vegys, crackers & cheese or cookies.

Coming in the weeks ahead:
Mabel Binau, a long time member of our church, passed away Wednesday. She and her husband Bob were two of the sweetest, gentlest people who were wonderful friends to many of our members. Services conducted at Rutherford-Corbin, 2383 N. High Street in Worthington. Viewing is Sunday afternoon 8/27, 2-4 PM, and one hour before the funeral on Monday (10:30-11:30 AM). The funeral service is 11:30 AM on Monday, 8/28.

Meals for the Duncans – Thank you to everyone who has helped provide so many delicious meals. This has been a real blessing to the Duncans. If you would like to be added to the meal preparation schedule, please call Nerissa Kennedy at 210-0500.

Singles Activities for July
July 24th, Thursday. InnisWoods Park (Meet @ Park 6:30pm)
July 27th, Sunday. Pool Party Holli's House (Time: Noon)


Talents and Tiaras. The Ohio Women’s Retreat, featuring guest speaker Kay Rizzo is planned for September 19-21. Pick up a brochure in the literature rack in the narthex or check out the details on line at ohioadventist.org.

A Shower-of-cards for a young boy injured at Camp Mohaven. Nikolas Southard, a 9 year old boy, dear friend and life long neighbor of the Sciulli family was critically injured in a bike accident at Camp Mohaven on Monday, July 7th. Some of the details are as follows: While riding his bike on the trails at Camp Mohaven, Nikolas put the brakes on hard and was flipped, landing with the handle bar doing considerable damage to his internal organs. He was life-flighted to Children's Hospital and underwent emergency surgery. His condition continues to improve everyday. He has received visits from camp friends, counselors and Pastor Bob, but we thought it might be fun for him to receive an outpouring of care from members of our Church. We thought the two best ways to do this would be sending him get-well cards and lifting him up in your prayers. If you would like to send him something in the mail, please send it to his home address, 1346 Hickory Ridge Lane, Columbus, OH 43235. Such a simple deed, such a tremendous impact! We’ll keep you updated on Nickolas’ recovery.

The Spotlight's on You!
Thank you to Nancy Detrick who provides all the index cards that you can find in your pew back racks. She’s a great shopper who finds them on sale at Walgreens for $1/3 pack.

Dear Worthington family. I want to thank every one for coming to my shower! It was so great to see you all. I also want to say how much Ben and I appreciated your generous gifts, they will be well used and enjoyed throughout our lives together. I want to give special thanks to Mercedes McPherson who planned the event. Thanks again for your company and generosity. Elizabeth Gibbs and Ben Brewer.

Congratulations to Lukio & Cecilia Chagama on the birth of their twin boys, Nathaniel and Alexander! The boys were born on Wednesday and all are doing well. Congrats can be sent to the Chagamas at 2366 River Run Trace, Columbus 43235.
