Over the years people have asked how they can be sure of their salvation. This document seeks to respond to the question as well as offer an opportunity to rededicate our lives to Christ. (Bible references from N.I.V. version) Plan of Salvation
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8-9
A great family dog - Lance!
ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! Come on into the Allegan County Animal Shelter and meet him. Lance is obviously a cutie pie, but he is also extremely sweet, well-mannered and happy. He would love to join a home with children to play with and hang out on the couch. It is recommended that any children in his forever home are 6 years old and up. Lance is estimated to be around 7 years old, and he weighs 57 pounds. He is dog-friendly, although he prefers calm, polite doggy friends. Plus, Lance could join a home with cats; if the cat is used to living with a dog, and the two are introduced to each other slowly over a bit of time. Lance is a really great dog! If you would like to adopt Lance, please fill out an adoption application at wishbonepetrescue.org If you already have a dog in the home, a meet and greet will be set up to make sure the dogs are a good match.
Allegan County Animal Shelter is operated by Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance. Sponsored by
Salvation is a Gift
“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” – Ephesians 2:8-9
We Must Receive Christ’s Gift in Order to be Saved
“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 Prayer to Receive Christ
Dear God, thank you for loving me just as I am. I confess that I have sinned and ask You to forgive my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Thank you for forgiving my sins as You have promised. In Jesus’ name. Amen. What Happened When I Received Christ?
The Holy Spirit came into our lives and sealed our salvation.
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession – to the praise of his glory.” - Ephesians 1:13-14 God’s Promise of Assurance of Salvation

The More We
The More WE ALL Prosper
......
It's worth the few extra minutes to stop by your local businesses and to spend more there too...here's why:
1. MORE LOCAL $$$ CIRCULATION! Money spent at your local businesses recirculates between 3-7 times around your community versus just once with big box and chain retails. 2. MORE COMMUNITY SUPPORT! Owners of locally owned and operated businesses support charities, local causes and organizations approximately three times more than businesses with corporate ownership.
3. MORE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT! Owners of locally owned and operated businesses are four times as likely to be involved in leadership, politics
and chambers than chains and out of town owned businesses.
4. LESS POVERTY EXPECTATION! As local businesses prosper and community government provides support, the greater the expectation for household income to increase. As we spend local, we flourish local.
5. HIGHER FINANCIAL RETURN DOWNTOWN! With a 30% higher return on their investment, your locally spent dollars stimulate the heart of your downtown!
6. HOUSING MARKET STIMULATION! Our local dollars help not only the downtown businesses but the housing market in and around the downtown.

QUARTERLY UPDATE
SEPTEMBER 2021 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.
VOLUNTEER-LED TEAM UPDATES...
RECENT EVENTS...
DESIGN Years of planning have paid off as we get ready to put the final touches on our new riverfront pavilion, made possible through the dedication of our Design Team volunteers and community donors. The team has worked diligently to create a plan to develop the Otsego riverfront into a valuable community asset of which the pavilion is only the first step. We can’t wait to announce our “Phase II” of riverfront development in the coming months as we finalize our plans. The requests of our residents have been heard and we think the community will be eager to help bring Phase II of our riverfront development plan to life!
GUS MACKER
Downtown Otsego hosted thousands of visitors for our largest Gus Macker 3x3 Basketball Tournament ever! We raised hundreds of dollars for community development efforts, student athletes, and school clubs as well as bringing customers to our downtown businesses. Thank you to our community for being great hosts and to our volunteers for their hard work!
ECONOMIC VITALITY We would like to welcome a number of new businesses to downtown: The Pretty Crafty (arts and crafts store), ALICE Studio (arts and crafts store), and 9/8 Tattoo Collective (tattoo parlor)! Please look up each of these new businesses, follow them on Facebook, and stop by and congratulate them on their new ventures! Our economic vitality team supports businesses like these by promoting them and encouraging everyone to shop local and shop small all year round!
ANIMAL TRACKS
Did you notice the animal tracks all over downtown the month of July? We partnered with the Otsego District Public Library to bring a slice of the Summer Reading Program downtown! We had over 200 kids complete the program by finding every animal and returning to the library for a prize!
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
With summer soon ending we have new and returning downtown events in the works for the fall and winter! A few favorites include Hometown Christmas, Trail for Treaters, Ladies Night, and the Art Thing at the Creative Arts Festival! Are you passionate about any of the events above and want to help bring them back bigger and better than ever? Let us know!
SUMMER ACTIVITY SERIES
A partnership between Otsego Public Schools, the City of Otsego, Main Street and other community partners, we paired fun, free, family-friendly activities with the summer free meal program at both the riverfront and Northside Park. We can’t wait for this program to return next summer!
OTSEGO ARTS
Last month, Otsego Main Street welcomed a new volunteer-led team under the Main Street umbrella! Otsego Arts is a team of local artists and supporters of the arts working to bring public art and arts programming to Otsego. We are excited to empower our artists to lend their talent to the community and expand the recognition of the arts community here in the process. They have already hosted one plein air painting event on the riverfront and are coordinating the new Art Thing competition at the Creative Arts Festival!

MESSAGE FROM OUR...
MAIN STREET MANAGER
If I were to choose a theme for this past summer (aside from scorching!) it would be renewal. At the height of the pandemic, the Main Street team worked diligently to ensure we were ready to hit the ground running once things began to return to normal and run we have! We wanted to be prepared not only to bring back our essential projects and events but to build; to expand Main Street by seeking new volunteers, new businesses, new partners, and new opportunities to achieve our vision for Otsego. The pandemic is not truly over, and our downtown businesses still depend on the support of the community as they face staffing and purchasing shortages as a result. However, I am proud of the work the Main Street team has done the past few months and excited for what we have planned this fall! Thank you for your support of our downtown!
