Location
correction: Jefferson Street Christian Church Easter services
will be at 8, 9:30 and 11 a.m. at the 1700 Jefferson St. location.
Earlier information stated they would be held at the LCC chapel,
which is incorrect.
Mark
your calendars now. Humane Society of Logan County will hold
its quarterly general membership meeting on
Wednesday, April 15.
Their good partner, Chad's Blind, 1230 Fifth St., will be the site
for the meeting. Social hour begins at 6 p.m. and the meeting will
commence at 7 p.m. This is a great opportunity to meet other members
and join the excitement that is HSLC. Invite your friends and
neighbors. You do not have to be a member to attend.
We just loved this picture. In politics, if you snooze, you lose.
But 2-month-old Reece Entwistle taking an election day snooze
in one of the voting machine cases just needed to be shared with our
readers.
Lincoln
Christian College and Seminary is hosting its sixth annual
Run for Your Life two-mile run-walk on Friday, April 17, at 4
p.m. This race is open to the campus family, the Lincoln community
and surrounding area.
As a prelude to National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, the
event is a challenge to the campus family and community members who
want to improve personal fitness, decrease health care costs,
increase wellness and productivity. It is a "fun" activity with a
"serious" goal. Winners will be recognized by age and gender. All
finishers will receive a medal, and there are plenty of door prizes
available. The whole family can participate.
The race keeps growing, with over 125 participants. Runners and
walkers from the community and surrounding area look forward to
returning each year. The race is described as "a well-organized,
fun-filled event." The two-mile course on the college campus is
flat, fast, accurate and all paved.
All participants are invited to a post-race celebration afterward
with grilled food, drink, music, door prizes and awards. Numerous
area businesses have been loyal partners with LCCS through the years
to encourage health and wellness. They have graciously offered their
support by either financial sponsorship or donated goods and
services for the post-race party. The school deeply appreciates
their support.
