BREAKING GROUND FOR NEW CHURCH — Groundbreaking ceremonies were held Sunday afternoon for the new North Webster Church of the Brethren. The new 160x45 foot pole-type building will seat approximately 175 people, have nine classrooms, a kitchen, and pastor’s study. Ideal Construction of Warsaw will be doing the frame work with the rest being done by volunteers. The work will be started yet this year and will be

Mark Sunday, Oct. 2, on your calendar with a big red heart

By CHAR BUTLER Guest Feature Writer Do you fill in your calendar with doctor and dentist appointments, birthdays, anniversaries and when the cat’s annual Norden Endural-K is due? You occasionally flip back through and find notes such as “9:03 p.m. Northwest” and “returnbolts?” At the top of my May 1988 page I had printed: “Natalie Wood received, as Child of the Year, a loving cup on Children’s Day, the first Sunday in October.” On Wednesday, May 25, an area PBS-TV station broadcast a documentary lauding the late Miss Wood, movie actress. I jotted down the Children’s Day date as my hometown Methodist church observed this when I was a little girl . . . and I wondered whatever happened to it. Always, on this particular day, our church was jammed, including the balconies, with proud parents and scores of wellscrubbed youngsters in Sunday best, the latter nervously sitting, squirming in pews, swinging little legs back and forth. Most of us were glad we weren’t in the pro-

gram except to stand a few seconds in recognition. After the service we found our coins on the floor that missed the collection plate. Then all of us gathered out in front, parents visiting parents, children smalltalking with friends. A really nice Sunday morning! This noon a friend stopped in. “Did your church celebrate Children’s Day when you were little?” “Oh! Yes! One time I was in the children’s choir and right in the middle of our song a strong breeze came through and blew my hat out a window! ’ ’ So ... there really was a Children’s Day! She left and I phoned several churches and asked the big question: “Do you celebrate a special Sunday called Children’s Day?” (I live in the City of Churches). First Baptist: “Noooo . . . but it’s a wonderful idea! ” Trinity Episcopal: “I’ll see to it our director hears of this. Thanks!” First Presbyterian: “No. But I’ll sure pass along this information!”

completed by next summer. The new church will be located on CR 600 N, four-tenths mile west of North Webster. t Shown getting ready to pull the plow for the groundbreaking are, left to right, Ralph Smith, pastor; and members of the building committee, Howard Kiser, Phil Mock, Sharon Richcreek, Jacob Adams, and Paul Shrider. In back are some members of the congregation. (Photo by Linda Musselman)

Christian: “Not that I remember, but it sounds great! ” Methodist: “I’ve been here six years and we’ve not, but I’ll see this information is' passed along.” Lutheran: “No, but I will certainly pass along what you’ve said.” Grace Brethren: “Yes! It’s the first Sunday in October!” This from the pastor, rather than a secretary, and he sounded like a pleasant man who admitted he, too, remembered Children’s Day as a Methodist many years ago. Our conversation extended as I talked about Grace College and Seminary at Winona Lake . . . and when we hung up our phones, I felt as if I just had a long visit with an old friend. . . . only God knows my original intent when I began writing this article. Possibly ... it was to whip up some enthusiasm for a nearly-forgotten Children’s Day church celebration. One final note: Grace Brethren rates a big 10!
