Students ‘reimagine’ the Church during Bluffton’s Spiritual Life Week.
Using the theme “Reimagining the Church: Looking Back to Move Forward” as inspiration, Bluffton University students explored the relevance of the Church in the modern era during Spiritual Life Week. The week-long, student-led examination of faith is held each semester on Bluffton’s campus.
For Jenny Dorsey, a Bible and theology major from Hilliard, Ohio, and chair of the Spiritual Life Week Committee, the topic is of vital importance.
The third presentation of the “Living through Loss” series will be held on Monday, Nov. 19, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and titled “Facing the Holidays After a Loss.” This presentation will take place in the Marathon Auditorium at Blanchard Valley Hospital located at 1900 South Main Street in Findlay.

Many of us consider our pets as family members. They are usually loving creatures who are great at lending an ear and keeping us company. But pets offer more benefits to our health than simply being good companions. Pets that are trained to be therapy animals have been scientifically proven to provide physical and mental benefits to owners and patients.
Karen Fredritz's last Bluffton haircut will be on Saturday with the closing of her shop, Bluffton Barbers.
She and her husband, Dan, are moving to Columbus to be closer to their family.
Karen opened Bluffton Barbers in the winter of 2016 in the former Bluffton News office. She’s cut hair since 1978, starting with Don Schneck in Pandora, and after a couple trips around the world she opened her shop, Bluffton Barbers, at 103 N. Main St.

We wondered if autumn colors would ever arrive. And, suddenly, here they are. This autumn view shows Snyder Circle looking toward College Hall on the Bluffton University campus.
