Bethel Church of Christ, 4014 County Road 304, Ada, will hold a free community-wide student event “URGE,” from 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 26, at the church.
According to event sponsors: “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.”
A Little Free Pantry is now open in downtown Bluffton. It is located on the grounds of the Bluffton Presbyterian Church near the Family Dollar parking lot. The community is invited to donate food or personal products.
Anyone needing these products is welcome to take them at any time. No registration is necessary.
The pantry contains canned vegetables and proteins, pasta, powdered milk, personal care products and other shelf stable items. Selection will vary.
Amy Byers is no stranger to Bluffton Family Recreation.
The 2009 Bluffton University Health, PE and Recreation graduate, previously served as BFR’s sports coordinator, was a member of BFR’s board, and as a university student, worked the BFR front desk.
Upon the recent resignation of Joseph Beagle, BFR director, the BFR board approached Byers to return as its sports coordinator. She accepted and her first day on the job was Monday.
