Rory Stauber participates in ONU Sept. 11 observation
Ohio Northern University has scheduled several events in observance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
On Thursday, Sept. 8, a moment of silence will be observed at the 11 a.m. chapel service in memory of those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. Rory Stauber of Bluffton, ONU's interim chaplain, has written a topic-appropriate litany that will be read responsively as a part of the service.
On Sunday, Sept. 11, the ONU Chapel, the Ada First United Methodist Church, the Ada Presbyterian Church, Ada's St. Mark's Lutheran Church and the Ada Disciples of Christ Church all will ring their church bells at 8:46 a.m., 9:03 a.m., 9:38 a.m., and 10:03 a.m. There will be four sets of four rings to mark the four plane crashes that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001.
Also on Sept. 11, there will be a moment of silence observed by the 300 participants of the noon sorority bid day meeting in the ONU Field House.
