United Methodist Church bell - it's a story of community involvement
It make take a community to put a church bell in a place on honor.
Ohio Northern University engineering students participated in the bell project. ONU students learned woodworking principles from master woodworker Scott Phillips from "The American Woodshop " television program on PBS.
Phillips is helping with an EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) project to build a wooden display pedestal for the bell from the Ada United Methodist Church that was destroyed by fire in March 2013.
