This was the scene on July 3 on Mound Street prior to power line repair. Residents of the neighborhood cleaned up the tree on Friday to make it easier for the crews when they arrive, yet it took several days to resolve the situation, according to residents of Mound.
On July 3 members from the Bluffton American Legion Post cleaned up storm debris at the Steinmetz residence on South Main Street. The trees that fell where from the home of Melvena Lewis. Her husband " Dutch" was a WWII veteran. Members from the post who assisted were Dennis Morrison, Tom Benroth, Tom Craig, Bob Amstutz and Sam Reineke. Bob Amstutz is in this photo.
The Bluffton Area Ministerial Association will sponsor this event to be held on Sunday, July 29, at 9 a.m. The theme is "For the Beauty of the Earth" and the service will continue the VBS theme from the previous week.
This year, there will be only one offering taken, and that will be for the community food pantry.
The usual snack of grapes and muffins will be offered. Worshippers are invited to bring some if you are able. All extra grapes and muffins will be donated to Our Daily Bread Food Pantry of Lima. Also, be sure to bring your lawn chair.
