Things are about the same as the Coffee Cafe at the Zanesville Community Church of God is open to all on weekdays from 7:30 to 10 a.m.
The area Men’s Lenten Breakfast will be held at the Fairview Church of God at 8 a.m. on Saturday, March 2. All men and boys are welcome to attend these meetings. The church is just a few miles east of Indianapolis Road on Yoder Road 1 mile north of Zanesville.
Please be in prayer for those who are having health problems.
I am sad to report that John Holbrook has passed away. John had many friends and he was a go-to for those who needed help.
I first knew him when our son Doug needed the mobile home that sits next to our house moved here from Ossian. From then on Kenny and I were friends of John and Charlotte. When our daughter moved here to town with her family, he helped out as granddaughter Anna was still battling cancer. The mobile home was moved in late 1973 so the Holbrook family has been here as long as the Edwards, as we moved back in 1973. Our son Jim and their son Mike have been good friends.
John spent lots of time at Rich’s Restaurant heckling the waitresses and just talking (his favorite thing). He always asked me what was going on in town as he considered Zanesville his home.
Now he is at home where he has longed to be with his wife Charlotte. The are both buried at Hoverstock here.
March 9 and 10 is Indiana Maple Weekend. This is the weekend when maple syrup producers show and educate the general public on how maple syrup is made. The Sheltons, south of here on the west side of Marzane Road, are currently tapping their trees. I know of several others near here that also tap trees.
