Sunday's community worship service, sponsored by the Bluffton Area Ministerial Association, will take place in the Bluffton Middle School cafetorium rather than on the Bluffton Presbyterian Church lawn.

The service was moved to the school because of the possibility of showers and cool, windy weather predicted Sunday morning.

The service begins at 9 a.m.  Please bring along your lawn chairs for seating.

 

Free live music will be held for the public Saturday, Aug. 10, at Ottawa Metro Park, 2632 Ada Road, Lima.
