Garage sale set with a twist, as everything is free

Items available include adult and children's clothes, toys, linens, furniture and other household items. The best bargain is that all items are free. Cookies and drinks will also be provided.
The church is located at 27009 Lemoyne Road, one mile south of Lake High School. The hours for the "Give-Away" will be from 9 a.m. to noon.

Two churches celebrate 'Holy Humor Sunday'
Bloomdale Trinity United Methodist Church celebrates "Holy Humor Sunday" this week with a sports theme, complete with songs such as "Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life" and jokes suitable for all ages.
According to Pastor Jeff Ridenour, the tradition of Holy Humor Sunday goes back to a rite called Risus Paschalis or "The Easter Laugh." The day refers to God playing a trick on Satan by letting him kill Jesus, thereby letting him think he had won, only to raise Jesus back to life on the third day.
The pastor says this custom was rooted in the musings of early church theologians (like Augustine, Gregory of Nyssa, and John Chrysostom) that God played a practical joke on the devil by raising Jesus from the dead.
Haskins Community Church has also slated an observation of Holy Humor Sunday. Rev. Jennifer Jackson will deliver the sermon, "Something to Laugh About!." There will be no Communion at this service.

SYLVANIA - The Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, recently received a grant for $4,680 from the Toledo Rotary Club Foundation to purchase portable water purification devices for residents of Haiti in the mountains where the Sisters minister.
Many members of the religious community have and continue to work in various posts within Wood County.
Clean drinking water is an ongoing problem for the people of Haiti and is a major cause of death of children under the age of five. This grant will allow the Sisters to purchase 100 water purification units for residents in five villages above Pestel, 90 miles west of Port-au-Prince, where they have served since 2000.
"Having clean drinking water, especially for the real young and the elderly is a serious issue," said Sister Joy Barker, a member of the sisters' stateside Haiti Committee. "Haiti has experienced a return of cholera, with almost 1,000 people infected in the last two years where our sisters work. Having these portable purification units will go a long way to help alleviate this problem."
