Public worship gatherings at Christ United Methodist Church will be suspended through the month of April. The church office and staff will continue to be available through the church website, Facebook page or by calling 740-373-1512.

In response to the public health situation with COVID-19 and the Ohio Department of Health’s (ODH) Stay at Home Order, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife is temporarily suspending the sale of non-resident hunting and fishing licenses until further notice.

This temporary suspension went into effect Monday. Sales will resume when COVID-19 guidelines change or are lifted. While individuals who currently possess a non-resident hunting or fishing license may hunt or fish in Ohio, they are asked to abide by ODH guidance and self-quarantine for 14 days before they do so.

The Sternwheel 5K Run and Walk originally scheduled for May 23 has been postponed until Sept. 26.
