Huntington University will hold its 110th commencement exercises on May 17.
Shiloh UB church (Tiverton, Ontario) held its fourth annual wild game dinner. The event raised $1043 to help support David and Melissa Kline, missionaries in Macau, surpassing the church’s 2008 commitment to the Klines.
Almost 100 people attended, compared to 50-60 people in previous years. Donna Doern of Shiloh wrote, “The people just kept on coming in and coming in. It was a little overwhelming at first, but we soon learned to go with the flow. We did have lots of wild meat and lots of regular food as well. It was a great night.”
The people watched a CD from the Christian Deer Hunters Association which presented many testimonies from hunters. The speaker was a well-known Wildlife Management associate who has his own business trapping and moving animals.
The speaker even donated a turkey cooker, which they used to fry wild turkey.
And here was the menu:

On Saturday, March 15, Franklin UB church in New Albany, Ohio, held its first annual Breakfast of Champions. The purpose was to bring as many unchurched men as possible to hear the gospel presented and give men an opportunity to accept Jesus Christ. Six men responded, giving their life to Christ.
The church has developed a friendship with the local Athletes In Action ministry at Ohio State University. Using that contact, they secured Roy Hall, former Buckeye and current Indianapolis Colts wide receiver. Roy was the featured speaker, with Tom Rode of Athletes in Action the host. Roy shared that his faith in Christ never became real until he learned that football was not the most important thing in life. Of the 30 people who attended the breakfast, 55% were not from Franklin.
In addition to Breakfast of Champions, Franklin has held Fall Football Sunday the last four years with Buckeye players Vernon Gholston, David Patterson, and Marcus Freeman sharing their testimony. Gholston and Patterson are now on NFL teams making an impact for Christ; Freeman is a senior this year for OSU and is expected to be a Defensive Captain.
