ECCU Changes Its Name To Arbor Financial
fice off 9th Street in Oshtemo. Many community leaders and vendor partners were on hand to celebrate the success with Arbor Financial’s President/CEO, Julie Blitchok and board President, David Aubry, including Congressman Fred Upton and Southwest Michigan First director, Keith Kehlbeck.

A new name was chosen not due to a merger, but because the old name had become a barrier to growth. “I thought you had to be a teacher to belong to ECCU,” was the common response to survey questions when community members were asked who could join the credit union. The new name is more open and the word “arbor” implies a structure for growth. The new name is seen as an evolution of their existing brand, and reaches out to community members and businesses.

“EXCUSES, EXCUSES” By Rev. Dan Minor
revdminor@att.net _____________________________________ “They all alike began to make excuses…” - Luke 14:18 We are good at making excuses. Examples: “The dog ate my homework” – “I’m not gossiping; I’m just telling what was told me” – “Too many hypocrites in the church” - “It’s the government’s fault.” Making excuses is as old as time. Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the serpent. The so-called friends of Job blamed Job for his sufferings. In Tolstoy’s novel War and Peace, the main character Pierre makes an honest assessment of himself. He speaks for all of us when he says, “Yes, Lord, I have sinned, but I have several excellent excuses.” Jesus told the story about a man who was giving a banquet and he sent out many invitations. But they all made excuses for not coming. In ancient Palestine it was considered an insult to refuse hospitality. Likewise, in the Kingdom of Heaven, all are invited but not all accept God’s invitation to salvation. “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). What wonderful and glorious blessings are experienced when we sit at His table and fellowship with Him. Among other things, Jesus is the believer’s advocate (I John 2:1), deliverer (John 8:32), defender (Romans 8:31), guardian (John l0:28), guide (John 16:13) and friend (John 15:14, 15). Good news: God is our hope (Romans 8:24). Salvation is promised to all who believe (John 3:16). Grace is offered even when we fall short of His glory (Romans 3:24, 25). Therefore, in Christ we have everything to gain and nothing to lose. When it comes to the promises of God, we have no excuse for not believing them. Prayer: Dear Lord, let us experience your saving and enabling grace day by day. Amen.
Why is it? A man wakes up after sleeping on an advertised mattress, brushes his teeth with advertised toothpaste, shaves with advertised razor, puts on advertised clothes, drinks advertised coffee and eats advertised cereal, drives to work in an advertised car... and then refuses to advertise... believing that it doesn’t pay. Later... if his business is poor, he advertises it for sale. Why is it? American Legion Post #84 of Otsego, meets at 410 E. Orleans, 7pm, the 2nd Wednesday of each month. New members welcome.
