Koine', a Christian contemporary music group, will accompany the morning worship at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, 301 N. Main St., Jenera, on Sunday, Aug. 22. Service times are 8 and and 10:30 am.
Koine', a Greek term meaning "common language," brings a vibrant sound and feel to traditional Christian songs.
Founded in Milwaukee, Wisc., in 2003, the group consists of five members who use instrumental and vocal music to declare that Jesus Christ is Savior.
Paul Shulaw, Sr., a once-familiar face in Bluffton, is on Main Street again. He is one of the many faces on the Oscar Velasquez mural being created this summer.
The Icon couldn't help but notice three out-of-state cars parked in a row on Main Street last week. This one from Nebraska, next to it one from New York, and the third from Ontario. Must have been an international meeting of some kind.
They are Ruth Ayers, Carol Diller, Carl Wolf and Claralice Wolf. In 2001, Ruth Ayers and Carol Diller, along with Elnor Rodehefer, Amelia Basinger, and Dorothy Williams, authored the cookbook " Memories of Mother's Cooking (Cooking in the Swiss Community 1915-1935)."
The July meeting of the Bluffton Housing Corporation was historic. Wayne Matter, the last remaining original member of the board (he served over 40 years) retired. Photographed with Matter is Sam Diller, who continues to serve as board treasurer, a post he has held since 1971. (Deb Beer photo)
