Trinity Lutheran observes Reformation Sunday

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 26, 2020 - 2:32pm

A remembrance of The Reformation will be in the Sunday, Nov. 1, services at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Jenera.  On Oct. 31, 1517, a monk named Martin Luther, nailed a paper on which were written 95 Theses, to the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, Germany. 

This sparked changes in the church at that time, which are still upheld today. Service times are 8 and 10:30 a.m.

Sunday services are uploaded to You Tube each week. Search Trinity Lutheran Church, Jenera.

A Beaver big-time record-holder

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 26, 2020 - 1:50pm

Darian Greeley put up the most rushing yards for a Beaver since Elbert Dubenion, who played for the Buffalo Bills, went for 294 in 1955. His 285 yards on 41 carries is 3rd on the all time list behind Dubenion and Mike Goings who holds the all-time mark of 314 against Alma in 1962. His 41 carries are also the most ever recorded for a Beaver. Greeley went for three touchdowns in Bluffton's victory over Adrian on Saturday after rolling up 171 yards on the ground in the first half. (Bluffton University photo)

The Bluffton University football team took advantage of its lone opportunity to compete this fall, running to a 28-21 victory over Adrian College on a chilly Saturday, Oct. 24. Adrian slipped to 1-2 on the season, while the Beavers head into the spring with a 1-0 mark.

The plan was evident from the first snap of the game when Bluffton handed the ball to Darian Greeley (Belleville, Mich./Chippewa Valley) and he took it 11 yards for a first down.
