Be the Church on Sunday, September 4.

The motto is: “Don’t just go to church. BE the Church.” And on Sunday, September 4, that is exactly what the twenty-one churches of the Plain City Church Fellowship are asking their congregations and the Plain City community to do. Be the Church. Many of the churches are canceling their services to instead carry out charitable activities within Plain City and the surrounding areas.

If you would like to get involved, you can gather with other participants in Pastime Park in Plain City at 8:30 am on Sunday, September 4. There will be a brief period of worship and prayer and then participants will spread throughout Plain City to partake in service projects. The American Red Cross Blood Drive mobile unit will be in the park for the day at the Youth Building. There will also be “Neighborhood Festivals” in Green Meadows trailer park, Canaan Community trailer park, and Pastime Park.

After completing a day of “being the face of the church,” participants will gather in Pastime Park to share a meal and celebrate the day.

WooFStock Brings A Howling Good Time to Camp Mary Orton on Sunday, August 28.

For the fifth year, Columbus Dog Connection will be presenting WooFstock 2011 on Sunday, August 28, from 12-5 pm to raise funds to help save animals in the Columbus area and prevent unwanted litters from being born through spay and neuter services.

The event will be held rain or shine at Camp Mary Orton located just north of 270 at 7925 North High Street in Worthington. Tickets are $15 with kids 12 and under FREE.

WooFstock will feature bands Rj CowderyThe Get OutsMoving to Boise, and Donna Mogavero.

There will be lots of vendors, several rescue groups, tons of food, and great raffle items, including a large screen television. Spayed and neutered dogs can hike with their humans through trails in Camp Mary Orton leading all the way to the Olentangy River. Additionally, the dogs can cool off in the Ice House, a mountain of ice providing relief from the August “dog days.” You can also spin “The Big Wheel,” just like on The Price is Right, to win WooFstock t-shirts, toys, or other surprises.

So bring your dogs, a blanket, and chairs to enjoy “1 Day of Dogs & Music.” WooFstock is just like the original Woodstock, except there are dogs instead of drugs!

Have A Fantastic School Year!

I know on the first day back to school, the thought in my mind was always, “Where did the summer go?” That was closely followed by, “Did they really give homework on the first day?”

While summer is not quite over yet, it is time to start new adventures in the classroom. Joe and I want to wish everyone in the Jonathan Alder School District a very happy first day of classes today.

The Fairbanks crew gets an extra day to sleep in, however, so we will send them the same wishes a day early and hope their first day will turn out well on Wednesday. Margie’s daughter, Michaela, will be starting as a Freshman at Fairbanks this year after attending St. John’s for nine years. The former Jaguar will be transforming into a Fairbanks Panther in the coming weeks. We know Michaela is going to be a star student and a super star on the Panther basketball court.

Joe and I hope this will be a safe, happy, and productive school year filled with new friends, unforgettable experiences, and an explosion of brain power!
