Join Us for a Vibrant Community Day at Messiah Lutheran Church!

 Hey there, neighborhood champions! Join us for an amazing opportunity to roll up your sleeves and make a real difference! On Saturday, September 7, we’re teaming up with Messiah Lutheran Church for their 11th Annual Seminole Holland Neighborhood Fall Cleanup—and we need YOU to make it the best one yet!

Picture this: a crisp fall morning, the sun shining, the smell of fresh leaves in the air, and the hum of neighbors coming together to spruce up our beautiful neighborhood. Whether you're ready to tackle unloading yard waste, helping unload trash, or just want to chat with fellow residents about the Seminole Holland Neighborhood Association, there’s a role for everyone. From 9 am to noon, we’ll be turning hard work into heartwarming memories.

This isn’t just a cleanup; it’s a chance to connect with your neighbors, give back to the neighborhood, and support the incredible efforts of Messiah Lutheran Church. Whether you’ve got an hour or three hours to spare, your presence makes all the difference.

Meet Your Neighbor: Catching Up with Author Ethan D. Bryan

In our charming Seminole Holland neighborhood, where stories are woven through the fabric of everyday life, there’s a house on Jefferson that stands out—not just because of the whale adorning its fence, but because of the man who lives inside.

Ethan D. Bryan, author of the inspiring book *A Year of Playing Catch*, is more than just a writer—he’s a storyteller with a unique passion for connecting with people. Every day, Ethan steps outside with a glove in hand, ready to play catch. It’s more than a game to him; it’s a way to share stories, spark conversations, and build connections.

Ethan’s mission is simple: to connect with his neighbors through the simple joy of playing catch. Whether you’re an old pro or have never thrown a baseball in your life, Ethan would love to meet you, toss a ball around, and maybe even share a story or two.

So, if you’ve ever walked or driven by the house with the whale on the fence and wondered what the story is, now’s your chance to find out! Grab your glove—or borrow one from Ethan—and join him for a game of catch. You never know, you might just end up in one of his stories.

Interested? Reach out to Ethan at 816-529-3287, and let’s keep the spirit of community alive, one catch at a time.
