If you are wondering why we have temporarily replaced the church sign picture on the main page of the church’s website, or why Facebook is blowing up with local businesses and concerned citizens posting their own beaver-adorned business or personal pictures, it is because last week Buc-ee's sued a mini mart in the quaint little town of Beavercreek, Ohio; and so, businesses are fighting back. In the wake of the suit, elected officials, local business owners, and residents have slammed Buc-ee's for what they say is an aggressive overreach by a massive company against a small business owner.

Northridge UMC is standing in solidarity with our Beavercreek friends. It is disconcerting that a community who has beavers all over their buildings and advertisements, due to their name, can be treated like this, but we want to let our neighbors know that we are standing with them and praying for them!

We love you Beavercreek!
