On the road with Big Blue! Join the Big Blue Crew at the Johnny Appleseed Apple Fest sponsored by The Peoples Bank of Gambier, tomorrow Friday October 7th, from 5-8pm. East Ohio Avenue between South Main and South Gay will be pack with vendors, food trucks, live performers and more! Don’t forget to stop by Big Blue to register to win a special baked apple desserts from Least of These Ministries! We are giving away 4 of these home-made desserts- 2 apple pies and 2 loaves of Dutch-apple bread. So don’t forget to stop by and see Big Blue!

Johnathon shared a devotional from “Our Daily Bread” titled Lego Lessons. In this devotional told the story of the creator of Legos Ole Kirk Christiansen. That it took Christiansen years until Legos were finally sold in stores. That with perseverance in challenges of work we can strive to grow not only in our work but also in our faith.

Emma then shared day five of “While We Wait.” The author of day 5 Liz Sarno wrote about her trip to NYC and all of the delays that she went through on her trip. That because of these delays we become agitated and frustrated, but we have no clue what amazing things God has for us in those delays. That when we are patient and embrace the waiting it can refine us and bring us to a place of wholeness.

Game time with name that tune and we are continuing giving away The Action Bible! Congrats to Lyle from Howard for guessing the correct answer of Glorify by Jordan Feliz! If you still want an Action Bible there is still time, we are giving them away next week during the Afternoon Drive.

Thank you for listening!

October 5th is packed!

Today is National Do Something Nice Day…On this day (and any day!) it’s a great idea to keep an eye out and notice when people do something that deserves a compliment! Whether it is noticing a family member’s new haircut, thanking the taxi driver or doorman for their patient service, or telling the neighbor how lovely their roses look, National Do Something Nice Day is a great time to remember to say the things that might go unsaid on typical days.

Today is also World Teachers Day…

UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) proclaimed that the first World Teachers’ Day would be celebrated on October 5, 1994. Various ceremonies and honors are given for teachers of the world who have surpassed expectations for the profession. Many countries hold competitions where special educators can be nominated to win the important title of teacher of the year.

World Teachers’ Day is now celebrated in more than 100 countries.

Today is the Jewish Holiday of Yom Kippur – the day of atonement

It’s also Clergy Appreciation Month – find out how you can nominate a member of your pastoral staff for some great WNZR and partner prizes by clicking here!

God’s Community

Join WNZR to celebrate our 36th Anniversary this Saturday October 1st! First at Knox Starting Point Family Day and 5K from 10am-Noon at the Fredericktown Community Park. Then at Memorial Park in Mount Vernon for the TAC (Teen Advisory Council) Color for a Cause and 1 Mile Walk and Run from Noon-3pm, and will be broadcasting from 1pm-3pm. Also, at both events the first 90 people to stop by Big Blue will get homemade buckeyes from The Least Of These Ministries.

Emma then shared day four of the devotional series While We Wait. She shared that when we are going through hard times we need a “true community” and not be isolated to the darkness we are going through. That this true and trusted community can anchor us and give us peace during this season of darkness. That this community should remind us that God is for us.

Jonathon then shared a devotional from Our Daily Bread about The Power Of a Name. How God changed Abraham and Sarah names when he made a covenant of love with them. Showing us how names are important in the Bible, often reflecting a person’s character traits or role. That we should show joy by calling others by name and affirming who God created them to be.

Name that Tune! We gave away a special prize today, an Action Bible! Congrats to Caleb of Mount Vernon for guessing the correct answer of Hold On To Me by: Lauren Daigle! If you are interested in the Action Bible here is a link to purchase one.

It is global student prayer week! We prayed for our country, for the loss of Emma West, and for those who are effected by Hurricane Ian. If you want to help those who are effected by Hurricane Ian, Samaritan’s Purse is an amazing organization that is helping with disaster relief, here is a link to help!

Thank you so much for listening!
