Liberty Township Residents,

The upcoming May election has the 2nd request for approval of a 1 mill replacement levy for operating expense for Liberty Township. Our main expenses deal with the upkeep and maintenance of 6 cemeteries totaling 27 acres and 23 miles of township roads. This levy would generate an additional $30, 015 for the township.

The Class of 2025 Hardin County Sports Hall of Fame Induction Banquet will be held at St. John's Evangelical Church at 221 East Carrol Street, Kenton on Saturday, June 14, 2025.

From Rev. Brandi Grant-Rigsby and Ada First UMC 10-Year Anniversary Planning Team 

Greetings,

“We are the church, you are the church. We are the church together!”

Can you believe it will soon be 10 years that we have been in our current church building? A decade of Sunday services, baptisms, weddings, memorial services, potlucks, meetings, missions, and Sunday school classes!

A little history—Methodism originated in Ada in 1852 with a few settlers who began a class meeting in an old school house on Main Street and Montfort Avenue. In 1861, the Methodists assisted the Presbyterians in building the old Presbyterian Church and they worshipped together!

We are looking for donations to the event. It can be a monetary donation or any item that you would like to give. If you choose to donate and item or money, we will list your business or individual name on a sponsor board.

Girl Scout cookies are here! You can find them at local booths beginning this weekend, February 14. 

One place in Ada you will find them is at Hays Insurance drive-through, but there's a difference this year. Chad Hays, owner of Hays Insurance, has turned what used to be an ATM into a "Scout Shed," complete with heat, electricity, a bench and shelves.

The local Girl Scouts will not have to be outside in the cold at that site and you can purchase your cookies at the window.

The Girl Scouts and Hardin County want to offer a warm thank you to Chad Hays for this example of his community involvement.
