Atwater
The Waterloo High School Class of 1976 is trying to solve “The Time Capsule Mystery.” When the Atwater students of this class were in fifth grade, they buried a time capsule at the old Atwater school building. They believe it was buried next to a tree by the front of the building.
If anyone can help solve this mystery in order to possibly retrieve the capsule, contact Tonya Qualk at 330-428-1491.
Forty years ago, Liberty Bible Church at 2215 State Route 183 in Atwater planted its roots with a clear mission: to preach the word of God and shine a light in the community. Four decades later, on Saturday, July 11, the church will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a powerful theme: “Still Standing but Not Standing Still.” The church, which stands firm as an independent, fundamental, King James Bible-believing church, certainly is not standing still. It is constantly moving forward, filled with a spirit of joy and happiness in serving the Lord, singing the traditional hymns and growing together. The church’s purpose remains unchanged: leading people to Christ, helping them mature in faith and involving them in ministry. Whether you are looking for a church home, youth and children’s programs, or simply want to help celebrate this anniversary milestone, you are welcome to join in at the church.
Upcoming church calendar:
- Sunday worship and children’s programs, 11 a.m.
- Sunday evening and youth group, 6 p.m.
- Wednesday evening Bible study, 7 p.m.
