Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowMedina’s holiday spirit shines brightNothing brings a community together like the holidays in Medina! This year, local churches are stepping up in big ways: Medina Presbyterian Church packed and delivered 80 Thanksgiving food boxes and is making sure 250 Head Start kids get Christmas surprises packed with essentials and fun. Meanwhile, Akron’s First Congregational Church is opening its doors for a moving World AIDS Day service, welcoming everyone for music and hope. And if you’re in the mood for music, St. Ambrose Parish has two concerts this week, including a show by Grammy-nominated Blessing Offor. How do you see these traditions shaping our community? #Religion #MedinaOH #CommunitySpirit00Share
Terri Miles+FollowMy Neighbor Fixed Our Oven the Night Before ThanksgivingWe planned to cook our first Thanksgiving turkey at home. But right when we started marinating it, the oven suddenly went dark. My elderly neighbor saw me panicking at the door. Without a word, he grabbed his toolbox and came over. Thirty minutes later, the oven light flicked on again. When the turkey finished roasting, I brought him a big plate. He opened the door smiling, “I knew you’d come back with something.” #Thanksgiving #NeighborlyLove #CommunitySpirit #WarmStories #RealLifeUSA00Share
