My Town Monday: The Steeples of Peninsula

The Village of Peninsula, Ohio, is home to several beautiful churches and chapels. Here is a look at the steeples of Peninsula:

Members of the Peninsula United Methodist Church worked long and hard to raise the money to restore the steeple of the historic church. Here is what it looked like prior to the restoration:

Cups of Kindness, an art show and sale to benefit the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, had it’s opening reception Saturday, December 5, at our Elements Gallery, and at the Peninsula Art Academy.   Over 70 artists once again donated amazing works of art; the proceeds from the sale of the art will benefit the Foodbank.

If you are so inclined, please consider visiting the Cups of Kindness website for holiday gifts. The Foodbank is able to purchase $7 worth of food and grocery items with every dollar raised.  We the People can make a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors.

One. Cup. At. A. Time.

    Beautiful steeples! Here, we seem to have a lot of churches renovating old grocery stores.

    I love steeples. I even love the word “steeple.” Sounds cool, like a horse walking across cobblestones.

    Just read your comment on the blog – THANK YOU – and I am so sad and sorry to hear about all your losses this year. I’m sure the urns were / are beautiful but god. 2009 has not been my favorite year.

    Will you send me your mailing address? I would love to send you something – only if you are comfortable. You can email me reyasdottir(at)verizon(dot)net.
