Roots & Roofs 2013: Success Home Repair Program
Continues
Founded in 1960, Grace Missionary Baptist Churchhad two
different locations on East Fifth Avenue be-fore coming to its
current home at 1182 N. Sixth St. in1976. Over the churchs 53
years, most of its mem-
bers have moved out of Weinland Park, but Pastor
Kevin J. Miller says connecting with and serving theneighborhood
is one of the congregations key goals
today.
Its easy to see this goal in action: Grace Baptist offers
both fellowship and support in many ways. Heres how
to get involved:
Moms2Beis a fun, friendly program that helps preg-nant women in
zip code 43201 ensure a healthypregnancy with good food,
friendships, and even asmall gift card for participation. It meets
every
Wednesday, 11 a.m.1 p.m., no registration re-quired.
Project Love offers free immunizations for childrenevery third
Wednesday from 12:303 p.m., no ap-
pointment required.
Family Dayand a Back to School Festival in Augustoffer free
health screenings and kids back-to-
school supplies. (Watch for this years dates!)
Property has been purchased and work is under-way to open a
thrift store and food pantry near the
church; opening is planned for this fall.
Neighbors who would like to donate clothing, food,or school
supplies for these community efforts canbring them to the church on
Wednesdays from 9a.m.noon or call 291-9714 to make an appoint-ment.
Last, but not least: Sunday School is at 9:30
a.m. and the worship service starts at 11.

Weinland Park Biking: Lights, Camera, Action
Did you know that if you ride your bike at night youre
required to have front and back lights on your bike? Rid-
ing without lights can get you ticketed with a substantial
fine. But the civic associations Safety and Mobility Com-
mittee is here to help. It has used part of our City of Co-
lumbus safety grant to buy quality bike lights from bike
supplier Portland Design Works. | www.ridepdw.com
These lights will be available to neighbors soon. The pro-
ject also includes production this summer of a bike safe-
ty video made by and starring kids from WP!
If you'd like to be involved or just want to make sure you
get lights for your bike, please contact Chris Orban at
[email protected] (614) 557-9387 or talk to
Martin Weston on N. Fifth Street.
