New plans offer promise for Redbank Valley and Clarion County
NEW BETHLEHEM – With a new year underway, local leaders are optimistic that good things are coming for the Redbank Valley and Clarion County in 2023.
Last Friday, Clarion County Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC) representatives Jarred Heuer and Jess Funk met with New Bethlehem Mayor Gordon Barrows and Redbank Renaissance President Sandy Mateer to discuss economic development possibilities for New Bethlehem Borough.
In 2021, CCEDC adopted a 10-year strategic plan called “Clarion County 2030 Economic Development Strategy,” which can be found on the group’s website at www. clarioncountyedc.com. Part of the plan includes outreach to boroughs and townships within the county to determine if help can be offered to local volunteers and representatives to accomplish projects to improve the quality of life for residents, attract new business, housing and tourism, and reduce blight.

Valley Flowers blooms at new location in New Bethlehem
NEW BETHLEHEM – In the wake of a 10-year anniversary and a recent move to a new location, business continues to bloom at Valley Flowers and Gifts in New Bethlehem.
Last month, the longtime Broad Street business officially opened its doors at its new location along Wood Street, next to RMS Furniture.
Although moving the flower shop was not the initial plan when owner Renee Rapp-Minsterman purchased the Wood Street building last summer, she said earlier this week that the idea seemed to make sense the more time she spent in the new, one floor space.

TOBY TWP. – The area’s newest restaurant, The Milkhouse Grille on Route 68 near Rimersburg, took a couple of years to plan before its soft opening this week; but the new venture traces its origin to 1964 when the George Dairy Farm was established.
The farm was established when dairy herds from Tom and Jean George were merged with herds from Tom’s cousin, Harold and Lucille George. Tom bought out his cousin in 1973.
With plans in 1964 to process and pasteurize milk and sell to the public on their own instead of shipping it someplace, the Georges didn’t have to deliver the milk to homes because people were more than willing to pick it up themselves.

VIDEO: Pastor Curtis Twigg, Associate/Youth Pastor of the New Bethlehem Grace Baptist Church shared the message this morning, “Act Like Men” referencing 1st Corinthians 16:13-14 “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.”
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 is a verse from the first letter that the apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian church, in which he talks about various problems that arose in the early Christian community. This verse is often seen as a call to spiritual alertness, strength, and action.
The principles outlined in 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 can be related to wrestling in several ways. Just as the early Christian community faced challenges and opposition, wrestlers faced challenges and opponents in their sport. The calls to "be alert," "be firm," "brave," and "strong" can be applied to wrestling as a reminder to stay focused, keep training, and approach your opponent with determination and tenacity.
"Be on Guard" is to remind the Corinthian believers to be alert and aware of the false teaching and temptations that might come their way. To "keep the faith" means to hold fast to the truths of the gospel and remain steadfast in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
“Be courageous” "Brave" and "strong" are exhortations not to be intimidated or deterred by potential difficulties, but to stand firm for what you believe and not compromise your faith. This is especially important because the early Christian communities faced opposition from the surrounding cultures.
Finally, “doing all things in love” reminds the Corinthians that they must show mercy and kindness to others, as this is an essential aspect of their Christian witness. It reminds us that their faith is not just a personal faith, but also how they treat others and demonstrate the love of Christ in their daily lives.
In wrestling, as in life, it is important to remain steadfast and not allow yourself to fail or lose. Just as the Corinthians are encouraged to "do all things with love," wrestlers can strive to approach their sport with a positive attitude and show respect and sportsmanship to their opponents. Not only does this help create a more enjoyable and satisfying experience, but it also sets an example for others to follow.
In summary, 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 is a call to spiritual alertness, strength, and action rooted in love and commitment to gospel truth. This verse is important because it reminds us to stay true to our commitment to Jesus Christ, to stand firm in the face of opposition, and to show love to others.
