ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! Say hello to... OZZIE
This handsome boy has been at the shelter since July 10th of last year, waiting patiently for his forever family to come. Ozzie is wondering if YOU could be that family. He loves to play and go for walks, rides well in the car and after having fun, he will relax next to you for belly rubs. Ozzie originally did well with other dogs when he came to the shelter, but as he is now approaching his oneyear anniversary of being with us, he has started to struggle. So, he currently needs a home without other dogs. But the behavioral staff at the shelter thinks once he gets settled into a home and has time to decompress, that he will be able to have dog friends again. Ozzie will need a catfree home. Ozzie does well with dog-savvy kids 10 years and up as he can be a little over excited at first, but a lot of that stems from the stress of having to live in a kennel environment for such a long time. Once in a home with some consistency and positive reinforcement he would do fine with younger children. Ozzie knows a handful of basic commands and after his initial excitement of being out he walks fairly well on a leash. If interested in adopting Ozzie, please fill out an online adoption application. If interested in fostering Ozzie to help him decompress from the shelter, please fill out an online foster application a:

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. Galatians 5:1
Friday, July 8 • 4 Person Scramble
REFLECTION: Our freedom from the death penalty for our sins is not free. It cost Jesus Christ His life. For those of us who accept Christ this is not so. Let’s not cower in fear as people try to take our freedom in Christ away. Have you noticed that Christians are needing to stand strong to keep the freedom to express our beliefs? We need to continue to be bold about what we believe! We should never treat our freedom lightly, nor take it for granted. Christ died so we might live with the precious gift of eternal life. This invaluable blessing needs defending and it is our responsibility to do so. As more and more antagonists raise up against us we need not be fearful. We need to see this as an opportunity to shine the light of God’s love. PRAYER TIME: Lord Jesus, keep us safe from reprisals against our faith communities. Protect us from those who want to take away our freedom from the bondage of darkness. We take refuge in You, for You are good and holy as our Mediator. Praise You Lord Jesus, for every good thing comes from You! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“THE NORTH STAR VERSE”
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life” ~ John 3:16 By Rev. Dan Minor
- revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
What are your top ten Bible verses? While it is hard to pick out just ten, I am going to share with you my top ten verses over the next 10 weeks and begin with one many of us learned in our childhood. By definition, Polaris (The North Star) is the brightest star in the constellation known as the Little Dipper. It is so-called because of the special position it occupies relative to the Earth’s axis. It is the only bright star whose position relative to a rotating Earth does not change.
John 3:16 has been called the “North Star” of Christianity. Everything in the Bible points to it. The Old Testament prophesies Jesus’ birth. The New Testament proclaims it. It is the Christian faith in a nutshell. Let’s take a closer look.
God’s Love - “For God so loved the world … God’s love for us is sacrificial, unconditional, unlimited, unmerited and eternal. Nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38, 39).
God’s Gift - That he gave His one and only Son… The Scripture says “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” (I John 5:12). Life is in the Son. “To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).
God’s Promise - That whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Eternal life is the gift of a God who loved us and gave Himself for us. Accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord gives us a life of meaning and purpose in this life (John 10:10) and in the life to come.
Prayer: Dear Lord, please forgive my sins and enter into my life right now. In Your strong name. Amen.

Mary graduated from Martin High School in 1961. She married the love of her life, Stewart, in 1964. Mary worked as a secretary for TruHeat for four years and then Delano Service for over 30 years where she eventually became their customer service manager, a job that was perfect for her warm, helpful and caring personality. She was a special woman who possessed a great personality, infectious smile and was known for her wonderful laugh. She had a love for serving others as was evidenced by her devotion to her husband and family, always being there to take care of her parents, her daughter and grandchildren. Mary enjoyed camping with her husband, and she was an excellent baker. Later in life she volunteered many hours at Watson Bible Church and Wings of Hope Hospice. Mary was a happy soul. Her sensitive and giving nature brought joy to those who were blessed to meet her. The love she shared over the years leaves behind beautiful memories to be cherished.

QUARTERLY UPDATE
JUNE 2022 ABOUT OTSEGO MAIN STREET... Otsego Main Street is a community-supported and volunteer-driven organization for people from all walks of life who are working together to revitalize our downtown. We are united in our efforts to build a special place that future generations will be proud to call their own. We share a deep-rooted love for Otsego, an affection for its history, and a passion for creating a fun, economically vibrant and visually compelling downtown at the heart of this place we call home!
GUS MACKER
DOWNTOWN VIBRANCY PROJECT
Gus Macker 3x3 Basketball Tournament will return to Otsego August 27-28. Gus Macker is our largest fundraiser and helps fund our community programming, as well as packing many of our downtown eateries and bringing thousands of visitors to downtown Otsego! Registration is open at macker.com/local/Otsego-mi!
Otsego Main Street received a 2022 Vibrancy Grant from the MEDC to activate previously unutilized and underutilized space in and near downtown Otsego. This grant will support a variety of mini projects coordinated by the City of Otsego and our volunteer-led teams. These projects include:
OTSEGO SUMMER FUN DAYS
• The construction of a pocket park near the Otsego Historical Museum, including permanent concrete cornhole, ladder toss, and bench seating for players and spectators
These free events are brought to you by a partnership between The City of Otsego and Otsego Public Schools. Be sure to check the Shoppers Guide every week to keep up with each week’s featured activity! We want to thank Otsego Public Schools for their partnership and the sponsors who have made the event possible:
• Updates to the Art Garden to include additional decorations and seating
• The installation of a new recurring art panel project along the riverfront walking trail
• A beginner-friendly six-hole disc golf course behind the TOP Riverfront Pavilion
• USG • Edward Jones – Tim Andrus • Toby Esterline Insurance • Edward Jones – Ginger Titus • Mayor Stacey Withee • Rotary Club of Otsego • Plainwell Life Care Center
• Permanently installed hammock posts available for public use
Our design intention with these projects was to provide a range of outdoor familyfriendly amenities to residents on previously empty public land while leaving the riverfront area open to development. As development of the riverfront continues, all of these assets can be easily moved to other City properties as needed. All of these projects will be completed this summer, and we can’t wait!
MESSAGE FROM OUR... MAIN STREET MANAGER
There is plenty of change coming to Otsego Main Street. As many have heard, budget concerns outside of the City’s control has forced their hand, and the Otsego Main Street program will no longer receive funding in the future. Luckily, we have an amazing board and dedicated volunteers, and we are confident that we will continue to offer the community programming that residents have come to expect in partnership with the City and other community partners. As part of this transition, Otsego Main Street will be embracing a new name and brand: Together Otsego Prospers, or TOP. The new TOP Riverfront Pavilion not only carries the Together Otsego Prospers name, but is proof of what Main Street and our community has accomplished when we’ve worked together. So, while we mourn the end of Otsego Main Street, we are looking forward to new opportunities, and welcome all who are interested in seeing Otsego flourish to reach out for ways to get involved!

LOCAL ARTISTS – JOIN OTSEGO ARTS!
One of our volunteer-led teams, Otsego Arts, has quickly expanded their list of events, and wants to welcome all local artists (and supporters of the arts!) to join them in their work to lift up the arts community in Otsego. Otsego Arts supports the Art Garden, and has planned events such as The Art Thing at the Creative Arts Festival, the Otsego Artisan Market, Plein Air Painting, and more! All are welcome who are willing to lend a hand in bringing new, fun, and creative arts programming to Otsego that beautifies our community and engages with residents. The next meeting is July 19th at 6:30pm at the Otsego City Hall. Stop in or reach out in advance-they would love to have you!
