Good morning, Holmes County. The power of love weaves through our community this week in beautiful expressions both personal and public. Lila B. Marshall's 88 years of devoted family life and hospitality leaves behind not just beloved baked goods recipes but a legacy spanning four generations—a testament to love's enduring impact across decades of faithful service. Her celebration of life service on April 21 honors a life well-lived.
That same spirit of love resonates through the upcoming Coshocton Community Choir concert aptly titled "In All Things, Love." Their April 27 performance brings together vocalists from nine counties, showcasing both sacred and secular works that celebrate humanity's essential foundation. Meanwhile, Otterbein UMC invites families to experience Holy Week together through meaningful services, Easter egg hunts, and Sunday morning fellowship—continuing our community's tradition of coming together in celebration.
