Ginghamsburg makes exciting changes Worship hours change, curriculum will focus on future generations TIPP CITY — If you Google Ginghamsburg Church you may discover something you’ve probably known for years. Right in your own back yard just 13 miles north of Dayton sits the fourth-largest United Methodist church in the United States, right in Tipp City. Ginghamsburg has been named as one of the most influential churches in America, but what does that mean for residents right here in Tipp City, West Milton, Troy, Sidney, Piqua and all over Miami County? If you’re like many, you acknowledge the 127-acre mega campus as you drive by on Interstate 75, or perhaps you squint as a ray of light reflects off the throngs of cars in the parking lot as you pass by on a Sunday morning. For some, Ginghamsburg has simply become a fixture on South County Road 25-A, but this fall, Ginghamsburg Church is making some big changes that may have many ready to take a second look. Pastor looks to future Wearing flip flops, jeans and sporting a trendy haircut, 28-year-old teaching pastor Nick Cunningham said he didn’t sign up to be part of the status quo. “As a church, Ginghamsburg has experienced a lot of success. God has done some truly incredible things in and through this place, but God’s not done yet. I didn’t sign up to be a part of Ginghamsburg to simply celebrate the past; I want to be a part of the future. Several movements have come out of this church and from the looks
“God has done some truly incredible things in and through this place, but God’s not done yet.” — Pastor Nick Cunningham of things, this fall has the potential to be the beginning of another one,” Cunningham said. Cunningham suggests his generation is on the precipice of a movement toward organic authenticity. “No matter who you are … we all crave and long for healthy connection. We are created for relationships with each other. There’s a new depth to life that we experience when we’re connected to people in a real way and not just surface level or casual friendships. We want to connect with people who actually care, people we can struggle with, people we can celebrate with. That’s a fundamental need of every human being. We all long and crave to connect with people in a real way … to do life with other people. For me, that’s one of the appealing things about Ginghamsburg’s new approach,” he said. New worship times Part of Ginghamsburg’s new approach is new worship hours at its Tipp City and Fort McKinley campuses. Starting Sept. 9, the
research reveals that the three most widely held perceptions of the Christian church are that it is 1) antihomosexual, 2) judgmental and 3) hypocritical. We have got to rebuild credibility with upcoming generations,” he said. Focus on family As part of its focus on future generations, Ginghamsburg is implementing the Orange Curriculum this fall (see whatisorange.org), which embodies a strategy emphasizing the family’s role in partnering with the church to grow up great kids. Slaughter and the Ginghamsburg team also will deliver a brand new message series starting Sept. 8 and 9, called “Four Letter Words,” which recognizes PROVIDED PHOTO that sometimes the simFolks at Ginghamsburg Church work on creating new children’s spaces.

TROY — The Miami County Sanitary Engineering Department is hosting three separate drop-off events in September for residents to safely recycle their electronics, dispose of household hazardous waste and to drop-off unwanted or expired medications. All three events will take place at Miami County Sanitary Engineering, 2200 N. County Road 25-A. All of the drop-offs are for residential households and are not intended for commercial or industrial business. The first event is the residential electronics recycling drop-off Sept. 8 from 8 a.m. to noon. The service is offered free again this year, working in conjunction with Goodwill Easter Seals of Miami Valley. Residents may bring in any electronic devices, such as computers, monitors, keyboards, DVD players, VCRs, laptops, cameras and televisions that measure less than 30 inches. Items not accepted include extensive phone systems and large copy machines. Through Goodwill’s Reconnect program with Dell, the electronics will be broken down and recycled, said Cindy Bach, solid waste coordinator. The service also creates jobs for Goodwill clients who stack and ship the materials. Residents are encouraged to register for the electronics drop-off by calling (937) 440-3488 or visiting www.miamicountysed.com. The residential household hazardous waste dropoff will be Sept. 15 from 8 a.m. to noon. Bach explained how the process works.
Miami County residents may bring any hazardous waste to the facility office to be properly disposed of, including herbicides, pesticides, pool chemicals, mercury and other unknown chemicals. The materials are weighed and residents are charged $1 per pound. The solid waste district uses the money to pay Veolia ES Technical Solutions to dispose of the waste. Pharmaceuticals and smoke detectors will not be accepted during the Sept. 15 event. People are highly encouraged to register in advance by phone or Internet to avoid a long wait time. Bach wanted to remind residents to only buy what they need, especially when purchasing fertilizers, paint or other chemicals. The disposal methods for hazardous wastes, which are regulated by the law, are very expensive, she said. Again this year is a light bulb exchange, offered on a first-come, first-served basis. During the hazardous waste drop-off, residents who bring in three incandescent light bulbs will receive a set of three compact fluorescent light bulbs, donated by Pioneer Electric Cooperative. The Miami County Sanitary Engineering Department’s drop-off programs began in 2006 and 2007,

Gordy, a naturalist as well as a watercolorist, has long been intrigued, appropriately enough, by water creatures. His work clearly demonstrates that fascination.

Opening Friday ‘Lawless’ (opens today)
K C I L F CATCH A
“Lawless” is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers — bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. In this epic gangster tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant’s family in his novel “The Wettest County in the World,” the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation’s most notorious crime wave. (Weinstein) Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska Genre, rating: Drama, R
‘The Possession’
Shia LaBeouf and Mia Wasikowska star in “Lawless.”
Based on a true story, “The Possession” is the terrifying account of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil. Clyde and Stephanie Brenek see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host. (Lionsgate) Starring: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kyra Sedgwick, Natasha Calis, Madison Davenport Genre, rating: Mystery/horror, PG-13

Still showing ‘Premium Rush’ Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies, open doors and 8 million cranky pedestrians is all in a day’s work for Wilee, the best of New York’s agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie — super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and suicidal nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who’s used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when a routine delivery turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. When Wilee picks up his last envelope of the day on a premium rush run, he discovers this package is different. This time, someone is actually trying to kill him. (Sony) Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez, Jamie Chung Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars Genre, rating: Action/suspense, PG-13
in “Premium Rush.”
‘The Apparition’ When frightening events start to occur in their home, young couple Kelly and Ben discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment. The horrifying apparition feeds on their fear and torments them no matter where they try to run. Their last hope is an expert in the supernatural, Patrick, but even with his help they may already be too late to save themselves from this terrifying force. (Warner Bros.)

of advantages to the consumer. First, the consumer is able to add variety to his or her ordinary lunch and dinner options. Second, the food is often inexpensive in comparison to food selections in restaurants, delis and diners. Third, due to the impressive variety of cultural and flavorful options offered by food trucks, we are able to try new and different items that we would normally avoid in ordering a large dinner out. I hear there are a few in the Dayton and surrounding areas. I’m going to hunt them down and give it a try. I’ll report back to you with my results.
